Simple Saturday
Posted by whisel on November 15, 2009
I am happy that I could go out today and run errands. I am thankful for the drive-thrus at several places, so I don’t have to exit the car. I am thankful for handicapped parking spaces and scooters in grocery stores. A strong November sun pushes away the clouds, making my path bright today. Not too terribly crowded in spite of entering the lanes with the busy Weekenders.
People were helpful. People were preoccupied. An then….. finished at last. My mind is ticking off it’s concerns as I finally scramble back down the hallway, home at last… to the coffee pot and the cats. always underfoot. My beloved friend in Texas celebrating his birthday yesterday. Permanently blind from a stroke 3 years ago. I call him and wrap my wishes around him as he sleepily thanks me for remembering him. For as long as my memory serves, I will remember him.
A package arrives. “The Oversoul Seven Trilogy”…. 545 pages which I can’t wait to explore. But, patience, patience…. I need to finish “Elaine and Bill” and the “Edgar Cayce Primer” before I go head over heels into my next alternate reality. 
And I do love these *soul journeys* I take when I open a fascinating book.
I sit quietly …. sending courage and healing to all my loved ones miles away. That they are comforted, embraced by a loving energy as they continue on their path. I see the Path as so many stepping stones in a river. Some are wide and stable flat rocks, good for balancing. Others are small and slippery, easy to chuck one’s journey into the drink. The experience of growing and learning is irregular in steps, leaps and tumbles. All of the paths are important, each one says: This way…. enjoy, live, understand, believe, do better, and…. keep moving. I complete my meditation by drawing down the blessings and the Light for each one of us, who in our own way, at our own pace, must find the way home.
And then, rest. Time to grant the favor of lounging horizontal, giving thanks for this jangly skeleton that still offers me an out-and-about periodically, so I can run with the herd on a Saturday afternoon. I hope your day is interesting, your attitude pleasant, and your experiences…. beneficial.
Best Wishes, Whisel*

Whisel, I am so happy you received Oversoul, I really hope you will read it first, oh please!!!!! I just can’t wait till you start reading it and shirl and I both are reading it now so we can compare.
In any case, lol, you will proceed as you wish I know.
Loved your piece above, as usual.

Yes, I can begin reading it now.
It would be fun to have a discussion of concepts or chapters. Are you and Shirl reading the same parts together? If so, would you tell me which chapter to read so we can speak about it in the Village?
Best wishes, Whisel*

Well we both started with the first book, I have completed the whole first one and started on the second,….I think Shirl is still on first as she’s kinda slow, lol.
Anyway, I think you have to read a bit of the book to get the hang of what’s going on. Why don’t you just talk about whatever strikes your fancy and since we have read it before we can jump right in.
You might want to mark up your book like I did with highlighters, so you can remember parts you want to.
And what are you doing up so late, lol. I see you just wrote this.

We are both late owls apparently. It comes with the territory
Ok, I’ll get started as soon as I can and post items that resonate with me.
Best wishes, Whisel*
