Light shows

Awoke this morning at just before 6 as the room was lit up by lightening, the thunder a very distant rumble so the storm is a long way off, but it is exhilarating to watch the universe's light show, good start to the day :) it was nearly 8 before the light began to dawn, pink tinged black clouds heading out to sea, trundles off with Squidge down to the bins, few folks around, the smell of shampoo and shower gel filters out of windows, elderly men heading for the bakery and a coffee and copita while they wait, as I turn the corner to walk up the hill there is a tethered burro with a campo dog hovering close by, such a peaceful air dwells as the village comes slowly to life.

We had a very enjoyable meal with Roma on Friday night at Bar Parada, cut short by Marty's need to watch the rugby, so we met up Leigh Keith n Marta and went to Lorenzo's for a vino and blether, home relatively early. Sunday dawned quite overcast and we wondered whether Amanda and Julio would postpone our invite as their cottage is very small and we usually all eat outside as their courtyard is big and has a big table in the middle; well we set out with Keith n Marta {Leigh working at Bar Parada} to meet Jo n Dave at the white rock, they can never remember how to get out there, the track was very bad the hail storm we had 3 weeks ago has really taken it's toll, and Cecil de Citroen is a little low on the ground so it was a snail's pace drive, but we got there, had a great meal, maybe not quite Dave's cuppa T as it was veggie, never mind Dave, sure you made up for it next day. Del started to get a bit concerned about the continuing rainfall , concerned that we might get stuck and the ole stress started to show signs, and no matter what was said he was still gonna worry so he n I left quite early, the other lot hung around for another 2 or 3 hours; but it turns out that it was a valuable lesson for Del as he reflected upon it and saw how he was creating his own problems etc etc, yeah he n I had good talk last night , mind you we had a few hours of deep n meaningful dvd as the internet was down for a while so i put aa Eli dvd which is always an experience, started with Meetings with remarkable men - some Deepak Chopra interviews, the Indigo evolution {finally I have a label, I was that oddball, problem child, and told I talked twaddle and still do LOL} and ended with a Dalai Lama talk - all good stuff.

Roma called by yesterday and ordered on of my "call me Joseph"" jackets {hehehehe will get pic of it when weather clears up a bit}; being the good Dr's daughter that she is I got a lecture about taking anti-biotics after the teeth removal and of course I told her no way, it's like folks ask me when the Doctor is open in the village, hell I am the last person to know, in fact last time Del went to the Doctor he was asked if he was here on his own, when told no with spouse, Doctor asked if I was healthy and could he meet me..........mmmmmm, due to work this hasn't yet happened, but I am looking forward to it, especially as I am encouraging D to stop taking pharmaceuticals and use his mind and heart to bring his hyper-tension under control and of course everything we watched yesterday echoed what I have been saying to him, but gently gently I know how hard it is to walk this talk and I still give thanks and am extremely grateful that I am alive despite being diagnosed with terminal cancer - so my belief is base on experience, real knowing as they say LOL
well guess I have gone on long enough for today lets see what ""thought"" I can end all this with

A Clear Current
Maintaining The Flow

The essence of all being is energy. Our physical and ethereal selves depend on the unrestricted flow of life energy that is the source of wholeness and wellness. Though the channels through which this energy flows are open systems and influenced by factors outside of our control, we ultimately choose what impact these will have in our lives. It is up to us to identify and clear blockages in the energy field to ensure that flow is maintained. A healthy, grounded individual absorbs some portion of the energy emitted by other people and the environment, but this does not interrupt the continuous stream of balanced energy sustaining them. The same individual copes constructively with stress and upset, and they are not subject to the stagnation that frequently goes hand in hand with negativity. When we keep the energy in and around our bodies flowing harmoniously, we are naturally healthy, vibrant, and peaceful.

Life energy flows through us like a swift stream when there is nothing to obstruct it, but various forces such as trauma, downbeat vibrations, and disappointments act like stones that impede the current. If we allow these to pile up, our life energy is thrown off its course or blocked entirely, causing illness, restlessness, and a lack of vigor. If, however, we take the time to clear these forces away, we rob them of the power to impact our lives. When we cultivate simple yet affirmative habits such as taking regular cleansing baths, practicing meditation and breathing exercises, smudging, and self-shielding, we protect ourselves from outside influences that might otherwise impede our energy flow. Likewise, we lessen the impact of inner influences when we clear our auras of unwanted attachments and divest ourselves of blocked emotions.

A strong and fluid energy field is the key that unlocks the doors of self-healing and peace of mind. Your awareness of the flow of energy sustaining you empowers you to take charge of your own well-being by taking steps to unblock, correct, and enhance that flow. Fear will likely be the culprit when you cannot identify the source of stagnation—you may simply be afraid to let go of what is obstructing the flow. Letting go can be challenging, but the exuberance you will feel when the flow is restored will be a welcome and blessed reward.
