Joanne, I am glad everything is ok. I remember I was supposed to watch my son once and I feel asleep. A neighbor found him walking the street and gave him to my wife at the time. I wasn't as sleepy at that time.
Spirits mingling and touching. Auras glowing and moving. Pathways forming and reforming. Thoughts under construction. Insights awakening and changing. Spirits feeling and knowing. Random acts of kindness proving. Fluid harmony of being reborn. Old ways losing ground. The spirits are alive creating new life to be embodied in. Being human the spirits partake in joy. Life among the living and feeling alive for the very first time. Spiritual energies creating new life in human shells. Knowledge burning and the seeds of wisdom germinating from spiritual cohabitating. Rise up ye spirits. Come alive and fly free in our being. Heal broken spirit in the new body and fly with the others. Seek thine own pathway in being alive and spiritually free.
Nene, One of the things that I noticed when I came into the forums was a condition called culture shock. Culture shock is when you don't know anybody, what the rules are and how to adapt to other peoples' beliefs. I had went through a similiar situation when I went through rehab. I had a preconcieved notion of what to expect only to find my notion helped me very little, lol. The first thing they told me there was to sit down, shut up and listen, lol. It was difficult to get used to living with 23 other people but as I got used to it. I loved it. There was always someone who was a fellow insomniac and coffee was plentiful. I got to the point of what is termed institutionalized or the condition where one in a comfortable situation like home and does not wish to leave. I am at the point now that I am glad for friends when they find someone. I wish everyone here finds that special someone. It seems to me that a friend who is happy and has their needs met is a more contented person to be around. I find that faithfulness is only valid for two people who are what can be considered a couple. The term faithful does not apply to single friends. It seems it would limit growth and limit how many friends one can have. I like the idea of having many friends and find that I have learned a lot of stuff from so many. It was just one of those things that I had to learn, I guess. A lot of the cultural shock is gone as I am more honest with myself and others. It makes communication more easier and easier for me to be around others. Each person has their own rights, viewpoints and freedom. I love freedom and feel at home here.
Started as a loner but turned into a groupee. I can follow sometimes because I can adapt. I never was a leader. I have walked alone. I am sometimes successful at being myself. I have found myself trying to fit in depending upon the situation. I like following sometimes because I like to stick with the winners. I like the soft and easier way by nature so if someone has a way that works I will try it first if I am able to. I can always try to modify it to work better for me if I see an easy way.
I liked grass hopper from Kung Fu. Master Po was always telling him some interesting stuff. I liked when that old cowboy told David Carradine of Kung Fu to jump into the pit of snakes and make friends with everyone of them. Grass hopper jumped in and didn't disturb the snakes. I ain't that brave, lol. :) I liked Knight Rider with Michael talking to Kit the car. I always wondered if Grass Hopper took a ride in Kit what some of the conversations they would have. Like Grass Hopper would say, "A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step". Kit would respond with "Yeah, but you haven't ever tried turbo drive". Kit maxes the speed and I wonder what Grass Hopper would say to that, lol.
I have read where the eyes are the windows to the soul. I like the words of Huckleberry Finn. "Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies". When asked about history he said, "I don't take stock in dead people". I like Spock, too. "The many are more important than the one". Kung Fu is cool, too. "When you can take the pebble from my hand you will know it is time to leave". I have always felt like a grass hopper, lol. I find that logic does not always compute. My best thinking got me here and now that I have been here; my better thinking keeps me here. I saw this movie with this old Indian who welcomed a cowboy. He said, "Welcome to the land of the human beings".
When I was a child I spake as a child but when I became a man nothing really much changed. I found new and more expensive toys to play with. Suffer the little children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of heaven. I like being a grown up child because I don't like growing up. Grown ups have so many problems because they have forgotten what it is to be a child. Act your age and not your iq has often been quoted to me. I would rather be childlike than childish because childlike has the virtues of being a child. A child will love them that love the child when a child sees the child in them. I try to let my child grow up that way I can be a growned up child.
How come it won't let us send catcuses. I think it would be neat. You want to send something back but maybe not a flower. Here catch this catcus, lol. :)
Makes me think of that song, April, don't know name but goes, "I'll try to love again but I know, the first cut is the deepest". Love that song but forget who sung it or even name. :)
Hi, Angel, just left Cincinnati last year. I lived in Covington, Kentucky which was 20 miles below you. I liked L.A. international airport. We took my cousin to a mental place nearby a long time ago when he had trouble controlling his anger. Didn't spend much time there later but just got off the plane and continued with flight.
Joanne, It was special and a good test of some of the things I have been learning on here by spending time with niece. I was the type of person who never had time to spend with children. I was too selfish with my time. I have found a lot of my problems I had with a lot of people was due to lack of quality time spent and bad communications skills. I was so involved with trying to win an argument that I wasn't even really sure what the argument was about. I have found that after an argument I am more into thinking about what the other person said and sometimes I found myself agreeing with what they said. It is hard to communicate when two people are emotional about something. A little cooling off period and a little patience I find can go a long way. I found out in rehab that I can admit I might be wrong about something even if I am convinced that I am right. What was really cool was when we just abandoned what we thought was right and wrong and went with something that worked, lol. :)
I feel like I have been touched by all and all have touched me. It is like the sign I saw in a business: We love everyone. Some when they come in and some when they leave. :) See ya'll later going to work. :)
