I am sitting here, waiting to hear from Jamie, that she is ready to come home from the hospital. We are 90% sure she will be released today but................there is always a but. Everything needs to be working. She was feeling great yesterday.
The weather has turned cooler. It is only 58F this morning at 8:37AM. Quite a change from last week.
I had something happen Saturday that I would like to relate. I have been opening the gate and letting my broiler and replacement pullets run free, every Morning, for a couple months. On Saturday Morning I opened the gate and the thought {or more a picture} came to me, that the wind could blow the gate shut. Now this gate has never blown shut. I dismissed the notion.
Saturday night we had a mini-thunderstorm. It wasn't much, in terms of rain, wind or lightning. The chickens settle down in their coop at dusk and I go out and close the door, to protect them from night dwelling predators. It was raining. I went out and found the gate had slammed shut leaving six or seven young chickens on the outside. I opened the gate and tried to herd them in but it was already too late. Chickens are blind in very dim light. One ran, the others just froze. Using the flashlight just confused them. I was able to get the drenched chickens in and the chicken that ran, took one fast circuit around the coop and then in the gate; apparently, she could see a little better. I then had to search the bushes to make sure there were no chickens hiding somewhere.
I was lucky, the gate didn't slam shut, until the majority, of the chickens were in. It could have trapped thirty or forty of them out. If that happened, I don't know how I would have gotten them in.
My point of the story is: what is the nudging, about the gate, that Morning? Do our minds see the future? If this was the only time this happened, I would think nothing of it. I would chalk it up to coincidence. But this has happened several times in my life and I am always happy when I pay attention. This time I didn't, fortunately it wasn't a huge problem.
I have been practicing, living in the present. I may sit down, pick up something to read, and I get a prodding to go to the feed store or do some other task. If I pay attention to the urge, it turns out beneficial. There will be some reason why I needed to do that task at that time. Perhaps a visitor came over, at the time, I originally thought, I would do the task. I have a routine and generally you could set a clock by me. I just fall in to it, what the clock says doesn't necessarily have value to me. When you deal with animals they seem to expect you out there to feed and water them at an appointed time. If your late they let you know it. If your early they may ignore you. It is easy to fall into a routine.
We seem to have urgings to vary our routines when important. Where do they come from? Does part of us anticipate the future and feedback to our conscious minds? Or do we have spiritual guides that help us with our everyday activities? Or is it our higher self?
We are familiar with these events. Back in the days when I drove less reliable cars, I might touch the door handle and it would occur to me to check the oil, on finding it low, I might think, I was lucky. Or was I listening to guidance? In any case, there is more to living on this Earth than our limited perception tells us.
It looks like those, that are advocating war, will lose. Our consciousness has risen to the point where we can no longer be fooled and tricked into killing each other. Those who profit from war, are losing control. They will try, anything, to stay in power. But, our eyes are opening; we see the preposterous, arrogance of this nation, which has seeded depleted uranium, on battlefields, the world over, and killed thousands [maybe millions] of innocent people the last few decades, have the effrontery to judge the Syrian government for using poison gas. They probably didn't do it in the first place. And it they did; what logic does it make that bombing them would help. We are not so good at targeting, that we wouldn't kill many, many innocent people. Who are they kidding?! The people of the world, which includes the American people are done with this kind of tom foolery.
But............... as has been noted before. It is best we don't get caught up in this drama. We are to Love. We are to envision a world of peace. We have the power to bring it about. We will do it.
Jamie called and she will probably be discharged this evening. It is still only probable.
Many chores await me.
Love and Peace, Gregg
