I don’t remember when last there was this kind of day. I suppose it’s a residual effect of what’s been going on, and mixed with how I use my day- it all lends itself to one’s internal and external environment.
The kind of day when feelings are up and down, painful raw and then suddenly exuberant, till finally the oscillation becomes too exhausting to hold up any longer, and one just melts into submission. There was nothing to submit to, but the moment. And mental and emotional exhaustion is far worse than physical exhaustion. Plus the weather did not help, still gray days. The nicer moments were with the cries. Feeding the birds, and planting mint from stalks that remain after the leaves are neatly plucked, leaving just a few at the top, for the plant to get its nutrients from the sun.
In the mid morning, there was a short respite from the gloom of the day, literally and figuratively, as I listened to an episode of the Healing Connection, and just enjoyed hanging out with a voice I’ve grown to respect and love. Tuning in to the Energy of Masters and friends as they all gather together to learn how to heal, and be healed. It feels nice, this thinking of folks who are like that.
Wasn’t a very productive day, and I made no effort to turn things around.
Haven’t seen the big fat brown furry cat out and about these past few days. I suppose the weather is keeping her indoors as well. The crows came around again in the evening, and just a little further away, was what looked like a duck. Probably a resident of the canals near by, who has wandered away, as I haven’t see him before. I say him because he had a nonchalant air about him.
Did all my stuff that I do each night, in good time. Started the blog earlier too, but didn’t want to write what I felt and wanted to; and also didn’t remember, what I had wanted to write when I was mentally musing over earlier in the day.
Enjoying a hot cup of water with the cinnamon stick. No lemon peel in it today. Luckily get very nice organic lemons here, so I can use the peels, which I did in water today, along with mint. And yes, had made mint rice for dinner with split yellow moong. Sort or like a kid hid, but more of a pulao. It was really nice.
Finished the apricots, pomegranate still to go. Trying to finish the food in the fridge before we fly out. Oranges and asparagus still require eating. The cinnamon water is nice and comforting. Well, that’s another thing to be thankful for. So I think on this note, I’ll stop my banter with you blog. Some days I should be forgiven for being do blah! On that note, some days I should be rewarded, for just showing up. Yes, same day. Had both aspects to it, dark, light, Ying, yang, and so it goes. “…And so must I,” to quote Gretl in “The Sound of Music.”
