Ever Onward.

My rendevous with the dentist at the University of Michigan Dental School is past and I can settle down until October 20th, when my two problematic teeth become a lot less problematic, and also a whole lot less a part of my skull.


Looking about the world of our garden this morning was a revelation of the way life works when it is allowed it's wisdom. The leaves are beginning to turn, the black-eyed susans are wilting and returning to the earth for their winter rest, the plethora of small fruit trees, roses and other bushes, likewise are preparing for the dark of the year. "Bud" one of our local squirrels (we call them all 'Bud') was burying some treasures beneath our maple and the numerous chipmunks (we call them all 'Chippie') were racing about wildly, leading me to wish I had their BMR for 48 hours...I would probably drop 80 pounds.


It is wonderful just feeling the life forces in our garden.


I went in the house and began reading. One post was about how 'fallen' nature is because of human succeptabilty to buying whatever a talking snake may be selling.


"Fallen?" I thought. After I turned off the bullshit alarm in my head, I just read further, for a bit anyways.


I went back into the garden, amongst all my 'fallen' bushes and intrinsically 'wicked' critters. Perhaps I should introduce them to the 'wicked mice' of the Talmud. Hmmm...well anyway, I saw 'Bud' and said "Hey Bud! I was just on-line and I found a whole load of nuts for ya." He sat up, holding a small nut in his paws and stared at me, then  looked at the ground where Mary or I usually scatter some nuts, and back at me, as if to say, "Nuts! I don't see any." and scampered off at a leisurely pace.


I just sat down on our small bench and let the breeze blow over me, listening to the leaves of our aspin happily rustling in the wind.


I opted for the sanity of nature today.
