Playing My Marbles
As many of you know, I have an affinity for marbles, which I used to collect and play as a child . . . until one day I figured I was done with them and gave them all away.
As a landscaper I do a lot of digging, and over the last 15-20 years I have found my fair share of marbles, as you can see below.
Friday I also found one, on one of my last little jobs before I start full-time employment (as a gardener) on Monday. I knew I was going to find a marble that day, as I often have other times.
After years of collecting, I am ready to play my marbles once again.
This, in conjunction with years of healing and finally having my nearest full health yet in this life, finds me able to play my hand at a lot of other passions that have been held back for a long, long time - music, writing, photography, sports.
Having felt consistently energetic and without headaches every other day or two for the last 2 years, I have forged on patiently and am now planning ahead for the first time. I can feel the next 20-30 years ahead, productive and successful on levels I have not fully known yet. :)

It is simply marble-us!

When I am at a cafe, hanging out and writing, I will turn the single table I am at the other way 'round . . . as it is usually set up for the long side to be between people. :(
One small way I like to feel I bring people closer together

Methinks it's time to dip my toe back into the pond . . . and find someone to float along with, hehe. :)

Thoughts on a genius of many levels, the most fundamental of which was his connection to compassion.

A few books I've put together over the last few years, enjoy!
Many more to come . . .

It's been one heck of a lifetime health journey for this human, and having learned a lot and overcome a lot am happy to share as much of the story as I could cram into a little over an hour on the latest episode of the Illuminating the Disconnect Podcast :)
If you feel you have had any issues with auto-immune dis-ease specifically, have a listen.

At 54, I feel better than ever (like a 20-something most days) and look forward to more years feeling free in my body finally than I have in the past 30.

On that note, I now have the consistent energy to focus on the 'work' of writing, podcasting and counselling full-time and will be transitioning from landscaping as this fall progresses.
I could use some support in this venture, and appreciate anything that will lead me to being able to do this.
It is by far the most important and satisfying part of my life and the more people I can connect with and help, the better off more of us will be.

As with all life forms, we feel. We know we are alive through feeling.

As highly developed self-conscious beings we also think, and can derive feeling from thinking, often directed by ego which has co-opted our feelings to validate it's existence.

Use these words as a guide to contemplate your very being, the 'what' you are that is entangled with who you know you are, so that you can relax into feeling authentic and authentically. For a more consistently fulfilling human experience.
