The Magic of Wonder

Today, I started a survey... If tomorrow were the **First Day** of the *Rest of Your Life*... ... and the quality of your life thereafter... would be determined by THAT day... what would you do to start it off?

Here's a challenge. Can you imagine a world without the need for security?

Breathe...shoulders back...breathe... once more... slower

Tedism: Ask for a different way to see, and see what shows up.

Our little garden... tomatoes, green beans, peas, carrots, potatoes, mint, Lavener, butter-crunch lettuce, yellow squash and herbs. Tbe beans are tasting good!

Take much joy from the little things in life and sadness will not overstay its' welcome. ~TS Ted Shaw

I think of all my relatives. And I thank you.

My latest mono-digital painting... for your contemplation...

Ted's condensed interpretation of the Great Sidereal Alignments of 2011... In binary code, the 0 means "off" and the 1 means "on". So, starting in the wee hours, 'on' 1:11 am (on+on+on), make a wish. Then 'on' 11:11 am (on+on+on+on) make another wish. Then 'on' 11:11 pm (on+on+on+on) make your third wish 'on' 1-11-2011. This is taken to the third power because we get to do it 3 times this year. I think this means we have all been granted 3 wishes granted by the Great Sidereal Moment, by which all time is reckoned. Annnnnd, more to come in October and November. Use your wishes wisely. TAGBE!

This is a great T.A.G.B.E. Report! ! http://www.ted.com/talks/william_ury.html

Why can't TSA use dogs to detect explosives. Dogs can be trained to detect every ingredient used to make bombs.

Thanksgiving. Thanks to you! Thanks to you, T.A.G.B.E.! Thank you for noticing. Thank you for being there.

when a doubter doubts, is it true?

What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed? ~Michaelangelo

Think big! Don't ask why not. Ask "What if?"

"Aquarius", the wizard. Off to the faire!

I'm often asked what do I think about all the predictions around the year 2012. I'm reminded what Richard Bach, author of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", said, "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly." and an excerpt from Trina Paulus' book "Hope for the Flowers". "How does one become a butterfly?" she asked. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."
