Scotland, Here I Come

In a few short hours I will be on my way to Edinburgh, Scotland to visit my dear friends, the Martins and their lovely daughters. I feel blessed to be able to make the trip. It is another case of making connections, for I met Brenda years ago in a gallery. She looked so sad. It was to be her first Christmas away from merry old England. Not to be. Through many different circumstances and upsets we finally became connected and have been friends ever since. This whole incident reinforces the idea that all of us must reach out to one another when we sense a need, or just because we want to. Now I wonder who I might connect with on this trip. One thing that is strong in my mind is that I indeed go with Love and Intelligence guiding me every step of the way. That is my absolutely valid connection and for everyone else, too.

Time

Where does the time go? Do we need to glue ourselves to that particular concept? I find if I just go about my daily activities without thinking of time, more things are accomplished. An example of the constraints of time is the fact it has been such a long interval between the last blog and the one I am working on now. Thinking about time and all I had to do before going on my trip to Scotland kept me from doing what I really wanted to do. Making connections with friends is important to me, but how important? How do we line up in our mind what we should be doing with our time? Or do we even think about it?This is a jumble of thoughts. I know I will have to go back and edit more, but at least I have something down to work on.

Morning Song

What a morning! Early, it must have been around 6:45, I walked over to the club so I could get my exercising finished early. Along the way I became aware of a particular bird song. I stopped to listen more closely. Not able to identify the bird I continued to listen. Now I heard the joy expressed in the bird's song. It sent my heart to the heavens. It crossed my mind that each of us could approach the day with a song in our heart, maybe even sing out loud, just because we are in love with life. That isn't too much to ask of any of us. Nature can teach us so much once more convincing me of the unbreakable connection we have with everything.
