It is 12:45PM and I am writing my first words. Yesterday, the UPS delivery man said, he would no longer come up our driveway, because there are too many branches that could scratch his truck. Our driveway is about a city block long, and there were indeed many branches, that arched over the drive. We went out yesterday and worked on it for a couple hours. Jamie said, "Why don't we go out in the Morning when it is cool and finish up." I said, "I need to blog." Jamie replied, "It should only take an hour. You will have the rest of the day and it won't be hanging over your head." Although, skeptical about that hour business, I agreed.
We got out there about nine and just got back. Over three hours of sawing, lopping and hauling branches. We did a good job and many Deer Flies and mosquitoes are enriched as well.
Monday, I had to stop blogging, before I thought I was finished, because of key board problems. Awhile ago, I had a malfunction of the keyboard I used for years. I washed it but it didn't cure the problem. In the meantime Jamie ordered me a new one. It was delivered in a couple days, but it is, no way, the quality of the one I had; same brand, same model. The keys are slightly smaller and overall quality looks poorer. My big fingers are not comfortable with it. Fortunately, we had a much older keyboard laying around that must have been from one of our earlier computers. The keys were raised and it clicked and clacked like a typewriter. It took a while to get used to but I learned to really like it. That is the one that gave out on Monday. The delete key and all those, in line, under it wouldn't work. It is amazing how often I reached for the delete key.
On Monday, I washed and scrubbed both the old keyboards. The recommendation is to use a dishwasher, but that is me, in this house; so I submerged them in the laundry tub, with lots of detergent, and then scrubbed them. I have been drying them out in the Sun. I hope it is successful. I don't really care too much for this new keyboard.
I don't know, what more I wanted to say about Humility. When, we are not involved with our ego, it is probably our natural state. As part of Source we are unlimited beings. Of course, we are equally unlimited beings. There is no higher and lower. We are all here with a gift, to give to each other. We have no way of assessing, if ones gift is more needed, or enriching to the whole, as another.
Any concern we have of self, limits the power of the love that flows through us. Any attitude, that is not humble, merely limits the light that we share. So as someone put it, "We need to keep our own sidewalk clean."
Like all teachers, I teach what I am trying to learn. We rarely are motivated to teach what we have mastered. We teach what we are struggling to master. A master may answer questions about what he knows; a teacher tries to understand what he has not quite grasped. We can be humble and still aim high, the universe is fascinating; there is much to learn.
I have dishes to wash and I need to catch up on some chores. Will Friday be back to normal?
Hold your light high.
Love and Peace, Gregg
