I am trying something different with this post. I often will create the title before I write the post, but often I don't have clue what I am going to write, so it occurred to me to write first and then let the post tell me the title.
Still in Ohio. Each time I attempt to continue on with my journey, something occurs to keep me here. I must admit that my time with Sharon is extremely pleasant, so I am lax about throwing myself back into the fray. It occurred to me that this time is rest. It is a vacation. Many who do not walk this particular Path that I find myself on cannot understand what I would need rest from; after all, it may seem from an external viewpoint that I am perpetually on vacation. This is not true for me. I work extremely hard on spiritual understandings. To see through the illusions that there is a world of separate anything is so easy that the mind makes it very difficult to do. It is often exhausting, at this point in my growth, to maintain. So, I find myself relaxing and allowing the flow of emotional love for an individual to travel through my system. (Yes, I know that there is a great deal of argument that could be brought to bare on my writing here, but like I said, I am on vacation for a bit.)
I must apologize if my writing seems more philosophical than usual. I just read several entries of a friend of mine, a highly intelligent Theravada Buddhist (Monk. <-- click here to read his blog)This has sparked my own philosophical bent. Add to that my reading 'Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintaince' along with 'The Course in Miracles' and we come up with the perfect storm for a weird post.
I guess I'll get the mundane out of the way and see if I have any energy left to write the post suggested by my previous paragraph. As mentioned, I'm still here with Sharon. We get along very well, though I admit that a great deal of that is her willingness to put up with me than with I, her. She is easy to put up with. I, on the other hand, can be something of a challenge, I admit. In any case, I have been learning to read tarot cards and have even made a bit of money from doing so. I look at them as just another tool to help others see outside their self-made boxes. Time will tell if I am any good at it or if I will grow confidence in their ability to tell the future. Personally, I hold the hypothesis that what the questioner believes will tend to change their behavior in such a way as to bring about the prediction, should a prediction arise from a reading. I am using a deck called the "Cat People" deck, which while not being especially rich in symbolism, does have lots of cats and since I have always had an affinity for cats, the deck "speaks" to me. At my first metaphysical fair, I actually made more than she did, though I fully put it down to beginner's luck. The study is interesting, in any case and I do get to suggest different ways of thinking to people that they may find useful.
My bike is running well, I think. I haven't started it since Thursday, so I'm not entirely sure. A friend of mine has generously offered to weld the parts of the bike that need it. I hope to get it to him sometime today. I heard that my bike insurance had been canceled, but upon investigation, I found that this wasn't so. However, in that investigation I found that to move my insurance to Arizona would cost me WAY more than just transferring my registration to Oregon. So, when I make it back to Oregon, I will transfer my title and registration.
Well, the title of this post just came to me because I am very tired. The heat today has drained me. How does anyone get anything done in weather like this?! So, though this started off with a promise of depth, it seems I must stop while on the level of the mundane. (As though there is a difference!)
Bedtime. Good night, all. Perhaps more soon. (No promises.) :-)
