Personal Politics

Hi, I have added a couple of things to the sidebar...so please take a look. I will be posting some more book titles soon, too. I continue to enjoy my expanded reading options and hope to get some feedback from you at some point point, as to what YOU are reading. So now...here is this week's version of the Sunday Morning Post: It has been a crazy two weeks. I have been trying to update this blog for days. I am not sure what the problem is...maybe writers block. But I know for sure it is not THINKERS BLOCK! Round and round they go...all the ideas in my head. A few days prior to the Election... I found myself becoming emotionally involved. Not like me, normally. I may get intellectually involved with these things...but not so 'attached'. I caught myself walking around the house screaming..."You are SO stupid!!!", while listening to certain political speakers, news anchors and talk show hosts. Oh, I did not only get irritated with speakers on the TV or airwaves that were not agreeing with me....I even rolled my eyes (discretely) while listening-into live conversations between people... who were supposedly playing in the 'same court'! (whatever that means) "Why isn't there one single intelligent word or fresh idea coming out of his/her mouth..."? "AIRHEAD"!!!!!!!!! Nice, unconditional non-judgemental attitude, huh? Was anyone else out there generally irritated the last couple of weeks? Anyway, THAT part is over now...and I am somewhat relieved and inspired at this point. Although...not naively so. Also this week I worked on an article/post/chapter (?)...regarding "Vibrational Coherence". I was not familiar with the expression ...my guides 'sent' that phrase to me when I was beating my head against the wall...trying to translate the ideas going round and round in my head. So...I looked it up...and once again they knew what they are talking about. Go figure. Once I got that...I began to write with a bit more clarity on the whole subject. What was more helpful... the vocabulary intervention from THEM...or the actual banging of my head ? I am really not sure! And then..along with all the ideas...there's also all the visions of cranberries dancing in my head as well...as I look forward to my favorite holiday approaching. So, here's the thing...... the above three issues ARE related. I know it. And I am working on how to explain it. So...this week, with hopefully, a minimal amount of head banging...I will get it written. When I do...I will share at least parts of it.... with you. In the meantime...this is a tune I have been trying to identify for a very long time...again...it was in my head (sigh)...but I did not remember what/when/where it came from. I finally found it! That made me happy. I hope you enjoy listening to it. I am going for the ice pack now. :-) :-) :-)

I can't believe you posted that video...that music calms me and makes me melancholy, but not depressed if that makes sense. I love it and think of that movie often.

Yes, I found myself in some sort of pre-election whirlwind of rage...and was annoyed even by people on the "same" side who didn't see things exactly like me! Not like me at all. I did a lot of screaming at the television or while reading news articles too, which I have to confess is very much like me!

The outcome has made me hopeful, but I'm patient. It will take time.

I am so dreaming of cranberries! What is turkey without cranberries?

Thanks for putting the Deer Hunter theme on. I love it and the refrain at the end of the CD; the refrain has a beautiful flute counter melody. I'll have to put it on my wish list. I wore out the CD years ago.
