There never seems to be something current enough to write about.
So much happens these days, and so quickly, it's almost like we all can't keep up with one another.
I know my blog is mostly text. No eye catching pictures of skimpily dressed women or snaps of lovely landscapes although I sure as hell see a lot of both almost every day of my life.
I guess to me, the written word is just somehow less misleading.
The photographs often capture the fun, adventurous side of my me, and has reflected my career for a large part of my life.
So I guess my blogs share a deeper side of me, words that express my thoughts and emotions.
I have been painting lately, creating mandalas with my girlfriends and getting lost in seas of color.
I watched an elephant paint on youtube today and it brought me to tears.
With every stroke it painted, I laughed in awe as tears ran down my cheeks.
I felt the elephant's emotions and determination.
It made me think about what other capabilities animals had and how little of it they convey to us.
Do we underestimate their potential? Limit their blossoming with our narrow minds?
My 11-yr old schnauzer speaks to me. When I bring out my suitcase before a trip, Gizmo sits in the corner of the room to sulk while I pack. And as if to say, "take me with you"... he climbs into my open suitcase to sleep the night before I am scheduled to leave.
Other times, while I am hanging the washing or doing the dishes, he will position himself in good view of me to give me an approving nod when I am done.
No doubt the most painful is when I leave the house everyday and he sits at the front door with those pleading look in his eyes. It breaks my heart every time.
So maybe I am a total softy. And a sucker for needy behavior but the truth of the matter is...
To you, your Pet is a companion. To them, you are everything.
So here I am getting mushy about my doggy.
Somehow in my world at the moment, my Gizmo is pretty damn high up there.
I always feel like I never give him enough and he keeps on wagging his gorgeous little tail at me all the times that matter.
I guess these are the things I like to write about. Current matters in my world. And although I know it compares nothing to all the other important world issues, it is still my word. And my documentation on my way through life.
I write for myself, my creativity, my hopes and dreams.
And what I wish for is to relate and heal and inspire.
Get the word out that we must not put limitations on ourselves and always make the effort to see the deeper side of things. The unspoken, the undiscovered.
We have so much more of our minds to use, to develop our instincts, to uncover our soul purpose. Magic is not unfathomable but relies highly on feel and trust.
To say us, Humans are incapable of learning from Nature and Animals is putting a mental block on our minds. Stifling our very own evolution.
We need to be more aware, of ALL living things around us and sense their messages.
Mother Nature speaks, we have only to listen.
