| How about that; the first New Moon of the year presents itself on a Monday? Good show! One of the symbols of Aquarius is the pouring of water symbolizing new life. Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5) We could liken the symbol of Aquarius to John the Baptist who baptized with water those souls who repented their sins and were ready to accept the good news of God's kingdom. John's verse above does not mean the kingdom of God after one dies, but the kingdom of God that Jesus was making people aware of on earth at the present time. (My understanding of Jesus' message.) |

Earlier this afternoon I went shopping at Walmart. I parked as far away as I could so I could walk the
distance to the store and back. Bad move; it started to pour just as I was checking out. I got soaked and
now I'm in my nightgown and boot slippers even though it's just after 4 pm CST.
Today is the day we make our intentions and wishes for the Aquarius New Moon. We've had a few days
since the computer exactitude of the New Moon on Monday to figure out what we need and want in our
lives. Now is the time to express it to the Universe or Higher Power of our faith.
I want to get healthy and that takes losing more weight, eating less sweets and white flour, potatoes, etc. It
also takes some exercise as well as a good attitude towards myself and life in general. So those are my
intentions and wishes for myself. New Moons are almost like monthly New Year's resolutions. We have a
clean slate every month rather than wait for January.
The Aquarius New Moon falls in my 1st House of physical body and persona. It trines my Moon and
sextiles my Saturn. What a nice event. I pray that I make good use of the opportunity and gift presented to
me. Blessed be you, Lord God, who has given me a strong body which has served me well through many
a storm.

| Today was my first lesson in the Tao Te Ching with William Martin, an expert who has written a book on it. The lesson begins with poetry: |
| Talking about a path is not walking that path. Thinking about life is not living. William Martin |
| This first verse brought some unsettling thoughts to mind. I feel that I do a lot more thinking and talking about a path at my age than walking it. On the other hand, I do feel that I am trying to walk my path now rather than talking about it. But, walking my path takes a lot of thinking, planning, and reworking than it did in the first half of life. In the first half of my life, all I wanted was OUT! Now I accept my chosen path and trying to make it successful and happy for all concerned. It's still a big job and I don't always succeed. Perhaps William didn't mean it the way I took it at all. Now that's a thought worth thinking! |

| Got word two days ago that my dearest friend, Pam's, husband died unexpectedly. This has been a tremendous blow. I really haven't been able to focus on too much since I heard. I'm working on a new study concerning the Gospel of Thomas in Lectio Divina style. Having a hard time setting up chat room, though. I don't know if it will work or not. It may be too much work for online. The robins returned to Fort Walton Beach today as usual. Thurs. Feb. 09, 2012. My monitor went out last night and I had a devil of a time with this new one. Not worth telling, but I'm getting better at handling stuff like that. The robins are still here and it's warm and pleasant in the afternoons, but cold at night for Florida. The robins are still fat and sassy. They are never so when they reach northern Illinois when I used to live there. They've got another month to fly there. |

| Sun. February 12, 2012. Today is the coldest day of the year. My dog, Lily, wouldn't even go out. At lease the mold, mosquito larvae, and fleas will die for a bit. The temp with wind chill was 14º. Yikes. I'm staying home from church this morning; going to Niceville with Turkey, gravy, asparagus, and Challah bread. I just can't take the pressure of going to church, hurry and bustle with food and cooking and driving out to Niceville by 1:30pm. I refuse to be pressured anymore. I feel very good about that. No more pressure and no more guilt! I bet the robins are glad to have left Florida, but I don't know if they'll find a warmer place. I have to look at the map. John Hibbs had the sweetest picture of a robin and George wrote his Haiku: |
| I love John's and George's work. It reminds me a bit of Heny's and my work on his Haiku. Here's one of my favorites: |
warriors come home the time for war is over crazy horse is dead 6/12/11 |
Since I bought this new monitor, though, all the mandalas and round things look oblong. I keep
correcting them, but don't know how they look on other's monitors. I hope I haven't squozed all the rounds
into half moons. yikes!

| Feb. 15, 2012. What a lovely thought is this Last Quarter Moon; Forgive, bless, and let go. Wonder what would happen if all on earth were able to do that all at once? I had such a beautiful lesson today from William Martin. He is teaching a course on Spirituality and Practice.com called: The Tao te Ching as Path and Practice. I'm not allowed to copy any of the lessons, but here is what I wrote today in the Practice Room: |
| Posted on Feb. 15, 2012 - 12:40 PM EST What then...? "What then is the motivation for doing anything?" I can't wait for the answer tomorrow. "Nothing to gain and nothing for which to strive" is such a freeing thought! It answers my old question; "When am I going to DO enough to BE enough?" Some of us are born with that beingness, but some of us struggle our whole lives doing, doing, doing and still are not simply being. Some of us simply BE, but not without guilt or anxiety. It's not as if we can bloom where we BE and be content. Or, is it? |
| Balsamic Moon Sat. Feb. 18, 2012. Keywords: Surrender, rest, recuperate. |
| Here we are at my favorite time of the lunar cycle; the time of surrender, rest, and recuperation. I especially like it when it falls on the Sabbath/Saturday. Saturdays have always been my day of rest. I very seldom ever do anything or go anywhere on Saturday; maybe a bit of grocery shopping, but nothing unless I really need it. Since the first of January, I have lost four pounds; not much, but it's something. Just trying to hold it at 160 is very difficult for me. My goal is to get below the 150 mark so I don't have to put that on the doctor's scale when I go there. Not much of a goal, but for me any motivation is good. This was my blurb on S&P today: |
