Multimedia, Nostalgia, and Current Day Events
Sometimes there are interactions or conversations that take place around us that move us at our cores. A conversation takes place between character Liz and their about to be departed grandmother, with the help of *alien friend, Max’s, powers. With the recent and sudden passing of my cousin for reasons seemingly “somewhat” shrouded in mystery, but likely a suicide, myself and other family members are left drifting, wondering, and incomplete. Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more conversation? one more before a parting of the ways? Roswell, Season 1, Episode 4 [Grandma Claudia] Honey Bear. Let me guess. Max. [Liz] Grandma, I guess the thing that I…

*IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL*
Loved that ride at Disney, It’s a Small World After All… but I’ve realized something very important… that is impacting human and social relations on a weird scale and in an awkward way. “The world is not as big as you think it is!”; “The world just keeps getting smaller and smaller”; “Wow, it’s such a small world. Fancy meeting you here…”; “Well you know, it’s a small world – getting smaller by the day”; “Wouldn’t you know! It’s a small world after all…”; The underlying assumption is that people are getting closer together… that we are getting access to what and who we need when we need it and…

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.

The Gentle Hollow
My sprouts are growing… the leaves on the trees swivel and float in the breeze. The gentle hollow, home to fledglings, 20+ bird species, countless squirrels, and other rodents, plus the occasional raccoon, coyote, or white-tailed deer. I have had some bad news this week. The worst one can in my job occupation – aside from a fatality or successful suicide attempt. This morning I received some good news – the best of times, the worst of times… that is now. Tomorrow I start back at bus, with 6 hours of re-training before they send me out to do work. After which I will do bus each day as an…

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…

People as Children
What’s so wrong with being a kid? Children are people, people are children – all of us on some level. What is so wrong about relying on others? Is it not true that there are natural instances for when relying on others takes precedence? Perhaps for some of us we have symbiotic relationships, maybe things are mutually beneficial – though we differ extremely. And then, there are those of us that are codependent or dependent on others as a natural course – whether chosen, or selected by default (genetics, disability, etc) Who are we to judge those that need others to support them? That need others to improve their quality…

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…

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…

Moments in Life
There are moments in life where you get an impression or reflection of what might come. I have had an impression that some day I will live another life. One beyond the one I live now. One with new relationships that will be important, relevant, and special in their own way. … at the very least these will and can happen – in the end. That is what is important to remember.
