Post op pecking

Good morning relatives
 Spring is here snow is falling and melting on the same day. Grass is exposed turkey's are back two or three times a day. Thirteen of them!

I had surgery to repair my left shoulder yesterday. The biceps had to be reattached, the labrum repaired and the big surprise was the need to repair my pectoralis major muscle where it attaches to the humerous  so lots of repair.  I already am non painful the pain I felt was so sharp and unrelenting now zero
Yea!

So back to pecking with one hand on the computer !  I am halfway through the first of three parts on my next book it is an observation / thought/ story guide to maybe interpretation is the right word to the yoga sutras of Patanjali. I think I am going to e-publish and print on demand. The sutras are generally published as one book with three parts to the whole. I think I will do three little books  and it will be available soon as I can figure it out  I'm enjoying writing it

Hope you have a great day

Love love love

song of the stars

Good Mroning Relatives
wow we had two inches of snow last night   it s a perfectly quiet morning

I had the best dreams last night    I have started on my next writing project   Im writing an interpretation of the Yoga sutras of Patanjali     in the dreams I found myself on a different planet  in a different time     one of the people that I know from this time and place was also there

she was suffering from the scars that her father placed in her psyche  there were others there who also were caught in the illusion of the scars and the identity that comes from misidentification of who we are as human beings
which is what the sutras are about  un attaching our identification from the wrong point and attaching it  freeing it so that it returns to it origin  thus freeing us

between my friend, and the other people who were there arose a conflict with a third group  a group of what we would call aliens simply because they are shaped differently than we are  

the conflict was going to be resolved with violence  

I stepped out to the edge between the parties and began to sing   looking up to the night sky  the star sky I began to sing   out of the song that came out of me which I had no memory of knowing  came a reorientation an adjustment between myself and the stars     it grew in strength as the song grew

inside the song inside the connection i could see, feel that the idea that was behind the need for violence was just an illusion

the song changed everything  the orientation it gave healed all the violence

what I woke knowing is that we all carry in our minds the memories  the scars of our past  the wrong identity between ourselves and ourselves  

perhaps it is writing about the Sutras that brought the dream  perhaps it was time for me to hear the song and sing it  

either way what I see is that we are trapped in an illusion that because we believe it we feel threatened we feel angst  we feel like we are what we truly are not

if your mind or your identity today gives you the impetus to be violent relatives  in any way  towards yourself or another  remember that whatever it is that you think you are you are not  whatever it is that pushes you to do something that is negative    that push is only in your mind

let it go   do not invest in what is not real

reattachment

Good Morning Relatives

we are living on dry ice here in Pipestone   it is quite and amazing spring   the temperatures are still hovering between the minus and the positive   with a sum total that equals zero

which is where it seems support for this blog is hovering  


now that the first draft of the first book is done and I find myself in the habit of writing  Im going to begin on the next project  

the turkeys have come back here to the front of the house to bask in the heat that reflects off of the steel siding we put up   they congregate on the south side of the house and pulls snake from the small patch of open grass   they chat and visit with each other while just on the other side of the 10 inches of wall that separate us the dogs and I listen in

an update on me I fell on the ice at work and reinsured my left shoulder    now am going through the process of waiting on the workers comp to arrange the surgery to reattach my biceps tendon to its proper place on my arm    another mystery waiting to unfold in the spring

reattachment is not exactly what I have spent my spiritual life doing  reattaching  more of it has been spent in learning how to let go of attachments  

obviously like the temperature there is a balance   obviously without attachments my muscles can't move my arm or hands in the usual way or without pain  

which do you think is more important in this case?

enjoy your day relatives  

best
