Inner Star

Greetings.  

My friend Noah Frere inspired me to write by reading his astronomology blog found on Wix Spaces, an app.  I often feels disconnected, especially around the holiday times.  Whenever this happens it is helpful to see some of my friends doing cool things, like writing about astrology and stars.  

I know there is an inner star within us.  I talk about it and it feels real.  When I feel into it, it feels like the truth.  Feelings are funny though depending on the feeling.  Some are inspirational and joyful and offer an inner knowing, like the knowing of this "inner star".  Sometimes my feelings are not so uplifting though, and my choices are always with me and though I try to heal from my emotional instability and irrationality healing does not always come quick and easy though the poor choices do not either, if you look into them.    

I am in Kansas and it is cold here now.  I do enjoy the sunny days when the hues of brown and yellow are more apparent.  I also enjoy working on my van that I am converting into a multi-use vehicle.  

I did something today:  I placed an order for a home phone line.  This is an attempt to be on my cell phone less but also an attempt to have good old-fashioned phone conversations. The holidays are here so, perhaps, some old friend will give a call. 

You know, everyday is a holiday.  That is how I want to live, with the mindset that anything is possible each day and that holidays are simply an expression of being grateful and in joy no matter what time of year.  

Dear Inner Star, I know that each of us has an inner star, that place that is unlimited and always connected to the love, joy and abundance of All Things.  When I let my heart shine and am reminded that my inner star is not far away.  I am reminded that though I may feel feelings of disconnect these are only temporary.  I know that I may feel pain and discomfort, these are only temporary.  What is lasting is the foreverness of benevolence that is within each of us.

May all your days be filled with the fully awakened bright ever-lasting star.

The Forest Hums

I'm sitting in a North Carolina' McDonald's, close to Little Switzerland.  I've never been to Little Switzerland but it sounds interesting.   I was up on Roan Mountain last night.  I had a fire which helped to cook my mac and cheese and keep me warm.  It was a beast of a fire in that I got warm just keeping it going.  But once it was well underway it turned into a nice, slow-burning bed of coals. Yes, it was a cold night.  Fortunately I had my goose-down leaking bag from my 2003 AT thru-hike.  I do not think it is as warm as it used to be but with a double upper layer on and a single lower layer I stayed pretty warm.  My pillow which was a bag filled with rain pants and a quick drying towel was inadequate; so was my sleeping pad- a eighth of an inch pad that is only meant to go under a blow-up pad to keep from popping (My blow up popped a long time ago.)  I tossed and turned but finally fell into a long sleep.  The morning sun coming through my tarp tent woke me up.  I

Hop One Foot

 Hello friends.  I think of all the great writers from the past encouraging me on.   I have this foot problem again.  A weak ankle; an ankle that is sore from driving which has finally succumbed to the ultimate slow down- broke, fractured.  Can't put weight on- we'll, it has only been two days and I can actually put a little weight on it. It happened when I was on a beam about 18 inches off the ground.  I was looking for my dogs and I kind-of tilted to one side, lost my balance, jumped and landed with my right foot twisting.  It hurt and I was down for the count.  It took about 1000 counts for me to actually get up and make my way to the car.   So my planned hiking trip turned into a camping trip which was really quite nice!   Fortunately, I can drive and still make money.  There is an interesting thing about making money and competitors.  Often my neighbor will kind-of brag about his day driving for Uber.  I drive for Lyft and he makes it seem like he's making more money t

Tree Snap

Today, the sky was one black patterned wall of Strom, a almost tornado.  Eighty-five mile per hour wind gusts.  Lots of rain too.  There was a huge snap during the strom.  More like a pop or boom.  During my walk I saw that the pop was a tree that had fallen over.  Pretty sure not lightening, just wind and water and time for the tree to go.   Tomorrow I will work helping to saw up and remove fallen trees.
