@71flowerchild,

This song is for you. 🙂 Safe Travels from the land of enchantment. 🙂

On the Road Again
Willie Nelson

On the road again
I just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin’ music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
Here we go, on the road again
Like a band of Gypsies we go down the highway
We’re the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turnin’ our way
And our way is on the road again
I just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin’ music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again, break free
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

A short Sheba Gallery.

@sheba2011,
Hello Sheba, hope your week has been good for you thus far.
We are cleaning, doing last minute things around the house and packing🙁🙁
We leave early tomorrow and “On the Road Again” back to Texas. This is our last day in the Land of Enchantment for awhile. We have Dr. appointments, a special BD, and have to finish remodeling the guest bathroom.
My babies know we are leaving some as they watched me gather their toys and things and pack their suitcase!!!
Sheba, today’s gallery is gorgeous. You are tempting me. I must confess I had ordered the TS Ceremonial green ring earlier. Just beautiful.
So happy to hear your vacation plans are back on track. You deserve some cool weather and even more special to see your Mom and siblings.
You and Poppy take care. Last day of vacation hugs coming your way from Jewel, Little D and me. They are taking their afternoon snooze now.
Have a wonderful evening ❤️.

Happy Birthday HSN.

Hi Valerie

We’re wrapping up HSN’s birthday month in the next few days so our Drink of the Week is a refreshing, celebratory Aperol Spritz! Cheers to YOU all for celebrating with us throughout July! 🥂🥳🧡

The Paradox of Spirit

The self is not small or big, but is both at the same time – Our spirit is like a drop in the ocean of spiritual energy.

Each of us has a spiritual self that animates our bodies and infuses our thoughts and feelings. Our language is limited to the world we know for descriptions of something that perhaps cannot be fully comprehended by the human mind. Therefore, only metaphors approach the expressions that give us a true sense of our spiritual nature. The paradox lies in opposing concepts, all of which are true at the same time. And in harmonizing the opposites, we begin to know the wonders of the spirit.

The self is not small or big but is both at the same time. Our spirit is like a drop in the ocean of spiritual energy. Although our spirit seems like a small, disconnected part of a larger whole, it is still made of the same things and can become part of the vast ocean once again. Our individual spirit seems to inhabit our bodies like a passenger in a vehicle but at the same time is not bound by our bodies. Spirits can reach across the miles to touch the heart of a loved one or expand to become one with the universe. We may feel small and perhaps insignificantly young when we look up at the stars, but we are made of the same basic elements. Perhaps looking at the stars is merely a reflection of what is going on within each atom and cell of our being. We are a universe within a universe. Our spirits are ever renewing, yet ageless and eternal. So the self is not new or old but both at once.

So our spiritual self is not small or big, new or old. We may experience life as good and bad, right and wrong, happy and sad, but this is the experience of the material world of dualities, not the truth of our spritual nature. By going within to touch the eternal and changeless energy at our center, we can go beyond the contrasting metaphors to the experience of oneness. And in that connection we can know big and small, new and old, movement and stillness. By accepting the paradox of spirit, we open ourselves to the fullness of our own being.

@shoelady60,

Good Morning in the Burgh. 🙂 I hope you have some me time. Keep Jake near and rest.
I hope your mom is fine. I know you will be busy real soon. LOL!

I am always busy believe it or not when I am doing this Thread this is my break.
Lady everyday all these things just come to me. Club Sheba I can do in 30 minutes
from my mind. I never plan anything nor do I copy other Forums. This Thread is me and the
people who post here. 🙂 I try to post pics that others will enjoy too. Lady I can’t copy
other people’s style because it would be too annoying. I itch if I have to do that. I’ve always
been that way. I like to do me. 🙂 Well HSN too. LOL! Have a cool day with Jake. 🙂

This will cover your Patio as you enjoy a good book.

@kittengirl,

Top of the Morning in Cali I hope this day finds you doing very well. I hope hubby is doing
better as well. I am sure a lot is going on. Sending hugs to your grandson and the Kittens.
Kitten take it easy. Enjoy the new garage and car. 🙂

Kitten as an artist who paints I am sure you will love these colors. 🙂

@taci,

Good Morning in Cali. Enjoy the trails we will have rain maybe on Thursday. So far
my gardens are beautiful. Taci my son is finishing up all his College Credit and he will
be done in December. I am delighted. 🙂

This will shield from the sun if needed. Have a great day.
