Letters to the Universe: January 2012
http://lettertouniverse.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Letters to the Universe. Saturday, January 28, 2012. Early Morning Musing on Life and Mortality. It is early Saturday morning and I will be leaving in a little over an hour to attend Darcy’s memorial service in Keene. The sun is rising and I can tell it is going to be a beautiful day. The only thing missing will be Darcy’s whistling. That woman sure knew how to whistle. Her whistle was like a flute in a Mozart symphony. So I am about the business of living. Having a friend die does that. Oh, and a goat.

Letters to the Universe: June 2012
http://lettertouniverse.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Letters to the Universe. Sunday, June 24, 2012. Summer arrived this past week and it was hot. It was almost 100 degrees for two days and in the 90s on the third. I complained a lot! It only lasted 3 1/2 days but I was miserable. The cold front came through yesterday and it is now in the low 80s with blue skies. I decided to use the oven for a bit. Just long enough to roast some sweet potatoes for a salad. Here is what I did:. If you are ever in Keene, NH, stop in Your Kitchen Store. The store has the...

Letters to the Universe. Monday, May 7, 2012. An Open Letter to My Granddaughters (or any other young girl). So here are my little words of wisdom. And, no, these do not all pertain to your grandfather. Believe me. That’s why you need to listen to me. I have had more experience than just being married to that one man. If he cheats on you once, he will probably do it again. If he cheats with you on someone else, he will cheat on you, too. You can’t make someone love you. In most arguments, there is no rig...

Letters to the Universe: My Morning Routine (Warning – If you are allergic to metaphors, you may be in danger. I can’t help myself.)
http://lettertouniverse.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-morning-routine-warning-if-you-are.html
Letters to the Universe. Sunday, January 15, 2012. My Morning Routine (Warning – If you are allergic to metaphors, you may be in danger. I can’t help myself.). In preparing myself for my day I often think of that lovely young lady who has the YouTube videos in which she teaches young women with skin problems about the products and techniques she uses in order to be able to reach the point where she feels comfortable about going out the door and greeting the world. I feel for her. My arms are either numb ...

Letters to the Universe. Monday, December 24, 2012. Christmas Eve Musings Before a Nap. I would love to be able to write an inspiring message for the holiday season. I don’t know if I even have it in me. I am not a holiday person. I am actually one of those “blue” people who find the holidays to be overwhelming and only serve to remind me of difficult Christmases past. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Premise Is Grace.

Letters to the Universe. Sunday, October 21, 2012. The Noble Eightfold Path – Right Livelihood. Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, "To practice Right Livelihood ( samyag ajiva. The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching. Parallax Press, 1998], p. 10. Right livelihood has held great significance in my life. I learned many years ago that working in a position that does express my deepest self can lead to dissatisfaction, depression, and loss of attunement with who I really am.

Letters to the Universe: Noble Eightfold Path - Right View & Right Intention
http://lettertouniverse.blogspot.com/2012/10/noble-eightfold-path-right-view-right.html
Letters to the Universe. Sunday, October 28, 2012. Noble Eightfold Path - Right View and Right Intention. There is the existence of suffering. There is the making of suffering. There is a way out of that suffering. There is a specific path to restore well-being called. Once upon the time there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically. The following day, his son trie...
