Musing

today’s Musing written and published from south Calgary, near Fish Creek Park

-1C/31F, clear, light breeze, empty streets – Gusta fails to find the rabbit whose scent she was chasing, I’ve no idea where ideas come from, but I want some more - a quiet ‘at home’ day yesterday, my bisque making postponed - butterfly acquired a bug (no doubt a shopping mall induced fatigue/illness) - instead I brewed chicken soup

ownership – of things, a process we internalize, an issue that is near, an idea we hold dear, a responsibility we take on – each involves effort to control something, but we control so little, if anything at all

health, good or bad, idea, good or back – or project or plan - so profoundly little control – yet I have notions I can influence direction, attitude, worth, value, pace - just too compelling to let slide, too exciting to view from a sideline; when an idea is worthwhile it has life in it, it can be bigger than all of us; it lurks in our living, it hides at our desks – easily lost in a sheaf of papers, as images drift – in and out - routine offers an illusion of calm, we need it, but the unexpected disruption of routine offers a mind stretch opportunity; ideas float in and out again like characters in restless night’s dream - some stay behind to roll around like food on our tongue – awaiting smooth swallowing or expulsion – delicious or not

changing the path of an oncoming train is difficult, derailments are costly; changing the path we walk costs little; a simple decision but consequences are often dramatic; changing an idea – consciously or in our dream – is the most powerful thing we do, it is not about dreaming our life – it is about living ourdream

reality, dreams, ideas, plans – these are often in conflict - but, since they creep onto our canvas anyway, nothing prevents us from weaving them together, nothing other than self-created barriers in our minds – images drift in and out . . . we need to let them
