Sunday Morning
It’s Sunday morning, and the precipitation has yet to start. A glance at the radar reveals it is not far off. We are experiencing a fair amount of wind, and the squirrels and birds seem to be putting in extra effort to consume every morsel in and around the feeders.

On my agenda is to lounge in the comfort of our warm home, and watch nature do its thing.
A quiet day.
a quiet day
to contemplate
take stock
count blessings
restore
revitalize
stretch and recoil
ponder
what is
what can be
visualize
possibilities
allow them
set them free
.
Feel free to join me, wherever this day has you being. Find your optimal health!
Craving

……try as I might
I am powerless to resist
…the allure
…..the griddle
….some butter
…..gas flame
……bread
preferably homemade
………frying
..it doesn’t matter
…what goes on top
…melting cheese
crunchy peanut butter
– man, I love pbutter heated
. .all melty, yet crunchy –
….or best of all
…cut a hole
remove the circle
…fry that, too
..crack an egg
….drop it in
….bullseye!
…dash of salt
course-ground black pepper
…..and I’m there
……all in
. . ready for seconds
before I’ve finished the first
. . . because it’s bread
. . . . buttered
. . .. . .and fried

how far
can you throw
personality
against winds
gusting
in gales
bursting forth

ooh, something shiny

Misled

it seems obvious
-the balance of nature-
too much
of a good thing
becomes toxic
absence of bacteria
a problem
so who led us here
to antibiotic-resistant super bugs
food allergies growing common
over-prescribed pharmacological exuberance
inducing increasing psychosis
when even Louis Pasteur himself
proclaimed with his dying breath*
that Beauchamp was right
all along

*unverified (unverifiable?) claim that can be found promulgated by an always growing number of willing believers
,
“…Pasteur, like many of us, wanted to be successful and prove his theories about dangerous germs were the cause of all human disease. Unfortunately he had an intelligent opposition named Antoine Beauchamp who completely rejected Pasteur’s ideas and put forward that the biological terrain of the being is the cause of disease, not the germ itself. Beauchamp believed that germs and parasites will only survive in acidic and unfavourable conditions and therefore mere exposure to germs is not enough to get sick.
Beauchamp believed,
“The primary cause of disease is in us, always in us.”
Antoine Beauchamp, 1883″
