CassianCove is my public "private" corner of the universe. Maybe if I talk loudly with my fingers I'll be able to hear myself think!
If you read and comment, maybe we'll connect! My name's Joe.
P.S. Joe, I need to re-read your post about dank and calm. I can't respond thoughtfully at 9:03 a.m. without re-reading and thinking about it carefully. It's very interesting and, for lack of a better term, deep.
I agree with the previous comment. We could use some Meditation for Dummies 101. I'll go for it.
And, no. Fortunately it is not my birthday, Joe. Sorry to disappoint. I am an Aquarian, so it is soon, but prudently, I never admit to the day. Usually I forget myself and have to do the math.
I'm still re-reading Calm and Dank. I think my problem is with the word dank. Hopefully, I'll have some time this evening before I have to fulfill, partially, New Year's Resolution No. 3.
Now that you say it, it does sound a little wierd. Maybe I need to put "dank" in quotes. It's meant to be a poetic use of the word, but maybe I'm reaching.
I meant it mean situation or feeling that would test our patience, mood, etc. Thanks for catching it.
Not really anything to catch. It is just your unique way with words, and I didn't quite get what you meant until now. I was hung up on calm (quiet and peaceful) vs. dank (unpleasantly moist or humid). Now that you put it in another perspective for me (test the patience), it is easier to understand. I can race thru a crossword puzzle, but the hidden meaning behind the creative words and writings of others is (runs palm quickly above head) sometimes lost on me. Dah, Ivy?
For your hill running, you stopped viewing it as "I have to go this far or else." Now it is "I will go as far as I feel like (less or more)." You no longer have to 'boil the ocean' so to speak, and you can enjoy your run and all that is around you for just what it is.
Darn it to H. E. Double Sticks, but I can't pinpoint a situation that applies to me, but I'm sure there are many. "This is what it's like, Ivy. You can't change it, so just cool your jets a little and deal with it." That is the voice in the back of my mind.

Wait! It's there. Doesn't that mean it worked?
