FEELS LIKE SPRING

It is a gorgeous day! It is Sunny and 40.8 F. The temperature has climbed 20 degrees since I got up. I bet it will be close to 50 this afternoon. I would like to be outside. I need to take a trip to the barn and make sure there is enough bedding down for the sheep; lambing will begin any time. All the pathways are glazed with ice. I did the slippery path dance this Morning. Fortunately I didn't get passed the swinging of the arms phase and I was able to stay erect. It has been above freezing during the day and colder at night, so we have icy pathways. We still have three or four inches of snow in most places. We have to create new paths, when we walk anywhere, to keep from falling on our tush.

The night before last I woke up and my teeth didn't fit together. It seemed my lower jaw was jutted forward. I had been noticing a little discomfort in the hinge of my jaw the last few days. It wasn't painful, but something made me aware of it. We don't usually think of random parts of our body. It was disturbing in the middle of the night. Very strange. In the Morning it seemed better, I was able to get my teeth to mesh, but there was a mild discomfort. This Morning, they again didn't mesh, but their was absolutely no discomfort. I haven't tried to force them to mesh. I anticipate they will gradually correct themselves.

Do you suppose the world situation caused me to clinch my jaw and caused some swelling at the joint? It is the only thing I can think of that would cause it. Can one clinch their jaw without knowing it?

Although, I don't like to think my equanimity, was disturbed so greatly, that I would clinch my jaw unconsciously; I prefer that interpretation, to any other I could think of. Jamie has a dentist appointment today, I asked her to run it by him, perhaps it is not an unusual thing.

I am very peaceful right now. Folks are waking up. Some of the websites I visit have thousands of viewers and are translatable to ten or more languages. There are many great books that are receiving huge readerships. The Main Stream Media is not representative of the peoples consciousness. I know we are troubled by the recent election, but when you see it as a giant rejection [I was going to use those two words] it all makes sense. Both parties have been spinning around in la la land, as the country deteriorates.

I must not have been, as confident of a positive outcome as I portrayed, or I wouldn't have been clinching my teeth. Let's not talk about the craziness anymore. Let's start creating the world we want, right now. Let's plan our gardens. Let's imagine what a decent education system would look like. Let us imagine a decent health system. There is no end to what we could imagine. Let us do everything we can to reduce the craziness in our own lives. Everything begins with loving ourselves. When we love ourselves sufficiently, we will choose what enhances our life, we won't bring into our life sphere, what is degrading. The most basic thing is thoughts. Then there is all the material things like food, medicines, etc. Can you imagine the impact we would have if we refused to buy any food that wasn't healthy and chemical free? If everyone, who could, started their own vegetable plot, and shared with their neighbors, we could bring down one of the most destructive industries on the Earth. Imagine all the chemicals corporate agriculture uses, consider the waste of water and the pollution. Consider the amount of energy and pollution created, transporting foods all over the country [world], foods that could be raised better and healthier in our neighborhoods.

Let us discuss it further. When we truly love ourselves; all our decisions will be loving.

I need to wash dishes and then take a look at my barn.

Love and Peace, Gregg
