Stillness and streams and streams of consciousness

There are a few birds still hanging out in Omaha these days - I can hear them from my new little office (aka the desk in the corner). Dolly has managed to fall asleep on the coach beside me. She has a gentle snore that matches her gentle eyes.

I think my neighbors came home, or maybe they left, but I just heard the familiar creak of the stairs. I have to remember that Kenley isn't home yet, today, Monday, is my day off for now.

This morning was full of a slow and labored wake up and met with a conversation with a friend that left me inspired.

I am still unwinding from a crazy few months. When i'm still I can listen to what my heart is saying and what the Divine is trying to get through my head.

A dear friend gave me a candle for my times of stillness, meditation, mindfulness and prayer. You can call it whatever you want it. I haven't lit the candle yet. The candle sits next to my computer and when I look at it i'm reminded that I should pause. And secondly, I look to the right to a plaque another dear friend gave me - daydream. I love daydreaming.

I sometimes get surprised at what I hear myself say...in a conversation I mentioned to someone that if you get to write the rules, it's a lot easier to be able to follow them, and when you want to change them, you can change them. As I thought of that more, I wondered, who gets to write the rules and why?
