Tell me what you know! …flinches and finches and nest eggs.

May 1 – Part Two
The band starts. The friends are greeted. We talk about how we have seen this first act before at a CdV event months ago. The songs are just as good. The set up is different and yet I am moving. I know I’m watched. I act like I’m watched even if I’m not. (That way, there are less surprises.) A text from my daughter. The picture is beautiful. I share it. The phone reached connection calms me, the young one knows. I feel her “pulling for you mom” energy even if it’s all in my head. I dance with all my friends. How many have I made in the last…

May 1 – Part one
Sit down. She does, at the bar. There are six stools in the place? He can’t see her. She can’t see him. But she knows he is just on the other side of the sound system platform behind her. What does she do? Phone out like cigarettes in a much older age, she scrolls, texts, acts busy. The coke she ordered happens to be nice. It is cool to be at a venue when no one is there. You get the sense of the place without the human energy inhabitation. But this venue already has habitation… painfully aware is what you would say but really jitters, not pain is what…

Thursday Seeds | Guard your energy
This is me guarding my energy. News has no place for me. And Netflix is on the back burner. I know it’s a season, that I’ll be back doing some other things soon. Until then, double down and get to work! I own my energy just like you own yours! Here’s some photos…. Those that I haven’t yet posted from Dragon Con! Next year’s ticket is already purchased… Amazing event. movies IMG_3759 IMG_3753 IMG_3729

Thursday Seeds| You should play an instrument
There are many reasons why you should be playing an instrument but here is a crew that tells me on a weekly basis why it’s so important. It brings those that are young and those that are of any age together in celebration of almost anything! It could be just that the sun went down, or the sun went up! Or in this case, a gathering group for years that play together in round at the international section of the Hyatt downtown Atlanta during a certain conference that just happened. You know the one. Where Cosplay is a competition and artist’s #broadstroke and also the #eyeofthebeholder and this crew gathers.…

Thursday Seeds | Looking Forward
Cooler weather to look forward to That new car to look forward to Brand new job to look forward to That new city to look forward to The fancy dinner to look forward to The wedding of a child to look forward to The rest of your life to look forward to But only and only and only and only and only if We stay in the present moment where these things aren’t Then we get those amazing moments with the good contrast The right contrast of worth the wait I don’t want what is not mine.

Thursday Seeds | Break the Ginger
You have nausea? Get to the ginger. Sure, ginger ale is nice. Ginger beer is better! And if you really need an immune boost, ginger tea is where it’s at. How do you make it? A couple of ways. You can buy a tea bag. (waste of money). What is better is buy the ginger root from the produce section of the store. Then bring it home and slice it up. Two slices of a ginger root finger should do the trick. Get out your tea basket and pour over the heated water. You now have delicious tea to help with the tummy and there is no sugar in sight!…

Thursday Seeds | The Currency of Kindness
There are many ways that one can give to the kindness factors. It is a mindset. Perhaps in your travels in the days and weeks, you come across those unfortunate enough to use panhandling as a last resort. (Some would call it the resort for those that exploit) I would call it not smart for personal security. I can’t really be that kind. I have to keep my own personal safety. I can donate to the local churches that support the homeless, I can donate to the organizations that are affiliated with the Food bank to ensure those that really need the help on a grocery bill get it. I…

Thursday Seeds | Gardenias and other scents
One glance and the scent rushes back memories. Sometimes it’s just one and you miss them or it’s a whole bunch of them at once. Many times these scents you’ve smelled remind you of travel. One of the first things that I noticed about traveling to Europe was that everything smells different. The cleaners that are used are scented different, the soaps, the air, and maybe even the flowers. Is it Spring? Did the gardenias just start blooming? It would depend on your location exactly when. The southern coastal states have a bloom season that starts much earlier than the northern parts of the same state. Are there mountains? Have…

Thursday Seeds | Bees and Queens
In a true bee hive, the queen is the priority. In her leading, the bees are the priority. She must put forth all she has to keep the hive growing and healthy. This means an attitude of humility and sacrifice too. Make babies, make food, make a house. These sound familiar? A human family unit might be similar, though not the same. Are their two queen bees? That spells trouble. It also could mean a split of the hive. Now instead of one, there are two with room to grow. Is there a pain in letting go? In the separation of the hive, does morale dip? How could humans arrive…
