View from flat on my back, August 01, 2008

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. ~Sam Keen

The last couple of evenings I have laid out by the pool, my feet just dangling in the water, my back’s muscles being warmed by the emanating heat from the ground while just looking up at the sky. I just let my thoughts wander, I think about life, I think about my health, I think about my friends, family, I think about God, and then there are the bats.

Yes I said bats. They put on an interesting show, coming in across the pool, skimming the water for a quick drink, and of course a bit o’ dinner because of the insects out getting a drink as well. I tried to catch them on video, but this is the best I could do:

I am grateful for nights like these, and to have a place that allows me to just be quiet and allow the thoughts in my head to run their course. It is during these times that I either think of nothing, or some of the answers to my most difficult questions come to me. Tonight it was the latter. Step 3 hit me. I have a goal in my life, and I have been trying to figure out how to get from A-Z, and I found B the other day, and tonight while I lay on the ground, looking up at the sky, C popped right into my head, and for that I am grateful. The speed of which I will be achieving this goal seems to moving a big quicker, part of the reason is I am no longer trying to force it to happen, I am allowing God, Source, The Universe unfettered access, I am in a sense surrendering to the idea that I can’t make a river flow backwards, no matter how hard I try.
