Steps in a Changing Life...: Today: I have a Strange Day...

Today: I have a Strange Day... - To Fall Like A Drop Of Rain...

Today's - A Mix:

A Strange, Crazy, Mixed-up day...

A violent wind whips through the trees, dislodging anything old and dead which still would cling...

I begin my day...
Listening to unfamiliar music from Vietnam, I discard my answering machine/phone. I have trouble throwing things out; especially things that still work like this phone. It still works, but the battery's dead. After only six years, replacements are unavailable...and even if available would cost more than I paid for the phone with the battery... The replacement service from the phone company came at first, all in French, with instructions I didn't understand. Thankfully this was easily changed to English... I think I've set it up like I want, but it's still to be tested with time and use...

Things working and not working, today come one on top of the other... Expected things don't arrive, unexpected things do... I've shared how it began, but the day has continued with equally strange flavors emanating forth from each thing I've touched...

The Vietnamese music I listened to:
Le Ca Tru Thai Ha Ensemble - Nord Vietnam
Huong Thanh - Vietnam Musique du Cai Long
Huong Thanh - Les fleurs du levant
Popular Vietnamese Music - Truong Thi Quynh Hanh

All are available from hmvdigital.ca, so if you're so inclined you can listen to clips...

This Post's Flavor(s): music, human, small

About This Blog....

I've lived on my own for more than 20 years now and although I don't miss the constant presence of some other person in my life AT ALL, I felt there was something missing and I've been thinking about what this could be... My inner work has clearly shown me that MANY things are best shared ONLY inside with my own parts and faces; as this is where they can be REALLY understood and appreciated. The occasional sharing I do with my few friends, although infrequent, is VERY important too, but there still seemed to be something I was missing... Puzzling about what this was, I've determined that what I missed was sharing the small things which felt interesting, important or meaningful at sometime during my day.

However, in the past, when I had others close, like "A MAN" in my life, I was MOST often disappointed. What felt important, interesting or meaningful to me, just wasn't to this other person. Consequently, I don't really want to share with any one particular person. Instead, I'm wanting to allow what I feel inspired to share fall like a drop of rain... free to find its own way to where it may be of use or interest...

This blog is, therefore, a series of posts sharing some feature of my day... Like a drop of rain, each one is free to find its own way to those for whom it might be interesting or meaningful without direction by me... Some days I have nothing to share, but I also frequently write small Haiku-like poems inspired by some piece of my day... It is my space for sharing my small puzzles, feelings, thoughts, poems, some of my current art and...and...and... with whoever wants to stop by... I do often revise posts... I usually continue working with a post until I begin a new one, so most revisions happen before I start the next post... but that isn't the end... nothing posted here is cast in stone or set in concrete. Revisions are to be expected and they can happen at any time. However, since 2017, because the work I've been doing on my web-site has been mostly enough, I haven't shared or revised much here until the end of 2021... Nonetheless, I do hope that you find something of interest... and I don't think I've stopped working here... I've just taken a break or rest for awhile...
