Time Stops
[When you’re tied up about your past, it is the same as time standing still.] Basically… if you cannot let go or you keep holding on to something that happened it is like time has stopped for you.

First Real Bloom
So the first one to bloom outside the wild strawberries – those from the Winco flower mix dry-seed packets – one solitary light purple, blue-pink Sweet Pea Mix the last several days. And now, we have one solitary orange flower with dark markings (have not successfully identified which one yet) and some woven growing threads and another potential bud or two, and a wild strawberry or two… but other than that, that’s it… Since April 2nd to now (3 months, 2+ weeks, =July 20th)… not much blooming yet.

Dream People & Self Learning
After a troubling few encounters in my current profession this last week I had come to realize – yet again – that no one had my back when I needed them to. Not only that, but I would need to learn to define for myself the gray areas when people are harassing me and how much I can or should tolerate before calling it a day and having someone else deal with it (safety risk assessment… but also a personal one) Sometimes these days are accompanied by dreams, but sometimes these dreams come later or much later. In a recent dream where I was designated to arrange or complete a…

Wisdom of the Masses
Twelve plus years ago my primary partner was reading a book (among many others) that they were interested in. The topic was understanding the wisdom of the masses. I laughed at the title saying, “the point of a statement like the wisdom of the masses can only lead to a bottom-line that there is no wisdom in the masses“ I think & believe that anyone with experience in social conditioning in groups, schools, churches, etc. know how a group of people can gather, rise up, and sway opinion based on a few ring leaders (even modern day memes, social media platforms, and even movements, etc. bear witness to common day…

Seedlings!
Queer meditation and relaxing activities are good for the heart and soul! γΌ( Β΄ β½ ` )οΎ Quality of life improved – Quality of life – γ’γγοΌ I bought seed packets at Winco a few weeks back. On an impulse while walking through the market I got lost in the various pictures of what one could grow. Though curious about actually growing pumpkins, I knew that tomatoes or cucumbers would be more vestment than I could do – much less space I had to work with… the flowers on the other hand were plausible. My impulse investment in time and pay-out this last year were bird feeders, bird feed, and…

Humans Change
So, I put my “honey-moon” bathing suit in the Good-Will bag today. I keep telling myself “next year I’ll be able to fit back into this – or maybe next year” and how proud I would be with a before and after photo showing how much I am still the same person I was in 2008 as I am in 20–whatever. I have had multiple opportunities to throw this bikini out. Countless conversations in my mind, but this last week pushed my resolve. I was measured at the doctor (I do not weigh myself anymore because negative triggers abound in life, and that is one less one I could care…

Where’s the Movement?
In this day and age an important question for decisions on life, lifestyle, and your legacy in this world is “Where’s the Movement?” Where are you Going? Who or What do you Serve? It is in the active support and participation with surrounding communities, environments, families, and friends that we see the greatest impacts in our world and in the lives of others. Ask yourself: Where’s the movement in your life? are you thriving? or just surviving?

Sleep, Rest, & Productivity
As I face the “weekend” I also tally the things I have accomplish the last few remaining productive hours and days I have had prior to “absolute abandon”… I find myself getting very productive in the 24-48 hours before a weekend, so that when it is the weekend, I will hopefully do nothing at all… …but then there are times where I am recklessly productive during the “weekend” as well, or I might try to do something recklessly “fun” for a few hours or half a day with my partner.. and then time is gone, and I am back to work… wondering why I never got the rest I wanted…

Concentration
Concentration is difficult in this day and age! There is a lot of ways to divide our time and countless ways of instructing, training, applying oneself to the task at hand – but actually following through on something – especially if you’re a chronic self-starter like me – you find yourself surrounded by projects that were started, or in the steps of getting to that point – but never finished. In addition to these steps in modernization and technologies – the accessibility to others through social media and just electronics (i.e. phones, e-mail, notification bumps, pings, computers) is OVERWHELMING for any human being – hearkening back to when Drew Barrymore…
