Musing

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

-9C/16F, short walk, calm, overcast – Gusta romps in the yard looking for a forgotten bone or a frozen crabapple somewhere in the snow for munching . .moving slow like me

ideas don’t require water or fertilizer - fertile mind, nurtured by passion – they become enormous adventures - Hawaiian ones rip in and out of my mind, life altering thoughts, trade wind wishes – not so much idea, wish or dream but reality not yet reached, not yet affordable, not clear what’s next, not about to give up, not about to be taken off track

revisiting joys, re-inspecting the warmly remembered - like spring day park walking ignoring a blizzard – insulates from reality, avoids - too many thoughts compete for one sleepy brain’s attention, too many thoughts planted - need for focusing on an individual idea - lazy day awaits – some reading, writing, lobster bisque making – ideas to mull

some do – I mean ideas - take root immediately, others wait for some far off spring, others dormant to re-surface on whim like unfinished business overdue for resolution, demanding attention - not getting it; little idea – stays small - set aside, hardy tyke not forgotten, niggling, not denied, not forgot; ideas, like plants start out in strange ways; some planted purposefully, others windblown seeds settled in some crevice of memory

retention - water or salty tear - wishes set aside, hope not lost; old ways yield to new – abandoned last looks back at what might have been, never was – one thing to focus on, one path to walk – to affect my future, make dreams reality; no debt owed for taking it on, no awareness risk, no feeling risk, no easy solution; some buy or sell, trade huge risk on thin margin, invest and hold – rework fundamentals, revisit charts – no fix for a past that passed - new fixes fix only - some debts never repaid – best left as fond memory not ruined

visiting a cardiac clinic with my dad yesterday taught us both – he, joyed-up that someone listens, investigates, works on his issues - no easy solution, worn weary body, no easy fix, irreversible is just that - a lesson (preview!) in improving and maintaining health; I visited the gym after too long an absence, cooked a very low-sodium meal last night . .
