The View. Or 22 From 50 Days In
The calendar says February 19th…well the calendar didn’t actually say it because I didn’t ask Siri to tell me what day it is or anything and I don’t have any reminders scheduled. However, it is the 19th and that means we are 50 days in as far as 2022 goes. Now is this a significant day as far as the year goes?
You bet your fine backside today is significant!
Why?
Because ladies and gentlemen boys and girls every day is significant. every day is full of new thoughts about old experiences and old thoughts about new experiences. Every day gives us a new chance to find new lessons in new things and older things. Every daylet’s us open our eyes to new questions and lets us find the balance between answering questions and questioning answers. Every day lets us use curiosity instead of fear to explore the meaning of our inner and external world it we should choose to make such distinctions. Every day lets us fly a little higher or pick ourselves off the dirt if yesterday’s flight didn’t go so well.
Okay so yes February 19th is significant…. Oh you meant in regular speak?
Well if you are evaluating such things then it’s been a month (by the way English is the only language where the ‘s has so much power ..it can mean you own something or it can be a substitute for. The word is OR the word has) since January 19th which is “quitting day.” Quitting day is the day of the year.by which most people have stopped working on their New Year’s. Resolutions.
Well what has happened. In the 1200 hours of the new Seeking Peace and Joy Universe year? Not enough.
Well …. That’s not exactly true… except the external products haven’t been what was hoped. Writing has come a bit slower than I hoped because I’ve been brewing things in the noggin a bit longer and more than usual—though the blog and podcast show no evidence of that. There have several books that reviews weren’t given….. now the reason is simple. I didn’t find the magic in a lot of them. Now the author put some magic in them and the publishers couldn’t possibly have removed it all for commercial purposes—right? Some really good books that have been recycled thus far in 2022 are.
The Cafe at the end of the World —the Way of the Warrior and two books featuring the exploits of Murray McBride and his friends. Anyone looking to ponder the concept of time and how to spend the precious moments we get should take a peek (or read the whole damn thing).at 4000 Weeks. The dawn of Everything is a really long book about most things we thought we knew about history and how we might need to rethink a lot. This is the kind of book that reminds us that science is important because it is the process by which we tell each other we were wrong in a nice way. Oh and it reminds us of the kinds of facts we have such a hard time dealing with like dinosaurs had feathers and Pluto was never really a planet per se except for the fact we called it one. How many things aren’t really hanging on in our life except for the fact that each time we remember something we attach the same meaning instead of exploring other possibilities?
Okay back to reviewing the year… One goal I set was to learn the piano a bit better… That’s iscoming along slowly… My hands and my mind haven’t quite tapped into the. Musical stream all at once yet…but there are moments…the magic is but a breath away.
As stated above the blogging and pod have come slowly, yet a lot of things are ready to pop. For example last Saturday.marked the birthdays of both Abe Lincoln and Charles Darwin One of these people was interested in the evolution of the species and the other took off sailing to. See what was on some island and had a pet turtle that lived a really long time (Google it). The point is… both people deserved a blog entry, yet a complete. Thought didn’t rise up… so February 12th floated by….
Then there was Valentine’s Day Love is the finest emotion/cognition/and action ever and somehow Hallmark charges $5.00 for. A piece of paper used to express something? Really? Even if you go with the heart shaped box full of mystery chocolates it’s not enough of a day to honor love. After all we al know “Life is like a Box of Chocolates…….you never know what. You’re gonna get.” That’s not true…. You are going to get a box of things that the person getting will only really like part of…. Good work. Love …my friends is more than a box of chocolates a few flowers….or a piece of paper even if you attach a couple of those. Little Rock hard pink hearts on them.
Please celebrate love every day.
Anyway I’ll try to get a little more product out into the world as predicted some 7 weeks ago well seven weeks and one day
Oh and is one day significant? Please read above
Peace and Joy!
love it Jim!
