Advanced Intensive Morning Clouds
When the sun first appeared over the horizon, it was obscured by a low lying bank of clouds. As the sun came up, it gave beauty even to the clouds–illuminating and beautifying that part of our vision of the light that was clouded. When the sun rose high enough, the clouds at the horizon were scarcely noticeable in the bright light of day.
A “Mending Party”
A woman on a list serve I read invited others to a “mending party.” “How delightful,” I thought. I have a few things in my mending basket. I usually use mending or knitting time as an opportunity to sit and think and listen to music and sometimes write down in my journal what seems like an interesting thought. It would be a most enjoyable alternative to sit and converse with others, all of whom have at the least a shared interest in beautifully mending clothes so that they last. And at the end of the evening, my mending would be done. I am sure it would be quite alright to knit or crochet or embroider, if there was no mending that needed to be done.
Sadhana
This morning at the Supreme Court. The impeached sitting President avers that he should be able to remove at will the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Pay attention. Cultivate critical thinking (viveka). Make sure you are registered to vote and then do so. Be willing to compromise as need be. The one who is not our favorite may be better than one who would be king.
