EXPERIENCE
I am learning to live with the bugs... There is a
fly (I only see one at a time) who visits every summer -
buzzing around my house till I can shoo it out the door.
Crickets, an entire family, have hopped into the den
from the entryway, and they are migrating to other areas
of my house, too. I got tired of sweeping them up
into the dustpan and dumping them in the garden, so, now
I just dance around them. The spiders build their
webs to decorate the corners; I suppose they hope the
fly will stop by...

OBSERVATION
The sky is an every
evolving canvas upon which nature expresses its many
faceted emotion. There is the calm of the clear blue day, the fury
of a thunderstorm, love in an evening sunset of pink and
violet, rage in a tornado, mystery in a night of stars,
and more. It just "is" - constant and constantly
changing. Behold it and listen to the lessons
carried to you in the breeze. |

ADVICE
Whenever you can, and with childlike
delight, enjoy the outdoors -- go play in the park, be
barefoot in the grass, sit under a tree, smell the
flowers, watch the ants march like Scouts on a trail,
chase a butterfly, name the clouds, feel the sun tickle
your face, turn a leaf over in your hands... realize the
"magic." |

TILT (This I Learned Today)
Every thing in nature is
subject to the Divine Proportion, Phi...
This number, also known as
the Golden Number, gives the shape of the entire
Universe, including in the
human body. The
Great Masters, such as Leonardo da Vinci, always used
the Divine Proportion in their masterpieces because it
is considered most appealing to the eye. And there
is a sequence of numbers -
The Fibonacci series
- formed by starting with 0, 1, and then
adding the latest two numbers to get the next one (0+1=1,
1+1=2, 1+2=3, 3+2=5, 5+3=8)
and so on. The ratio of adjacent numbers becomes
closer and closer to the Divine Proportion as this
sequence evolves... kind'a cool to ponder. |

AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS
Nature is an interesting teacher,
comforter, challenge, provider. Enjoy touching the
earth and let it touch you. Consider the cleansing
of a mud mask, the internal quench from a gulp of water,
and the fragrant elixirs with which we decorate our
bodies... Nature gives us food for the flesh and for the
soul.
Take a bath in some salts of the
earth... and let your self ponder all that you "absorb" from the
experience. |
