Not too Late

Image

These two objects don’t really go together at all (tomato and coffee mug if you were wondering what those two objects were) but they were on my straw mat this morning as I was meditating. I advise that coffee really isn’t something you want to be drinking while trying to meditate. I simply just could not focus! Jitter bug that I am…

The tomato came from my very own tomato plant and it’s just about to turn red ( I pick them early because I have some pesky birds that will try to eat them if I don’t pick it early enough). I guess green tomatoes are bitter and so is black coffee…that would be the only correlation with the two (that and they come from some kind of plant). How do I turn those into a meditation practice? Well, I didn’t, I just turned it into an opportunity to draw!

It’s not too late to find random things and turn it into some creativity!

A day at the beach!

We live about 3  1/2 hours from the gulf coast and its not very often that we go. Yesterday just happened to be one of those. Day Trippers! …

Not only did we get to travel to the coastal area of Texas, but we also traveled through the national forests such as the Big Thicket. It’s on our to do list to go hiking and camping there (oh and to spot Sasquatch…he’s been rumored to have been spotted in the Big Thicket). I should really get out and enjoy these areas around me! and the coast (I know the Gulf’s waters are pretty brown, so what) was really beautiful. I love being on the beach and being able to enjoy nature. I think this time of year is the best time to go as the water is nice and cool, it tends to be a lot warmer in the summer time. Doing donuts in the sand was fun, just don’t piss off any old crotchety men…which we did. I recommend the Bolivar Peninsula and the beaches there. But if you want to go to Galveston island, it’s just a ferry’s trip away.

Now…to apply more aloe vera gel. Yes, the sun can be beautiful and cruel…

Wine!

So I’ve been looking at this bottle of wine at the grocery store for a while because of its cool looking label! Yes, I suppose I judge a wine by its cover. I’m not the middle sister, but I am a rebel sister, and this is a red rebel wine. It combines zinfandel, merlot, and cabernet. I didn’t know what to expect! I thought what the heck since I’ve started a “finer things club” with Isaac (he’s choosing cigars and I’m choosing wine and coffee). It’s time to start experiencing different tastes and textures and just…learn a thing or two about wine or the region it came from, and then go there!

It’s only once or twice a month cause these finer things can get a little expensive. I was also thinking that it can include a number of things like art (which I love and think going to different art exhibits would be great) and reading more books so that instead of watching mind numbing television or staring at a computer screen, I could be expanding the imagination! and looking at art is also a great inspiration for my own code mush art. bleh…which comes and goes as far as plans and ideas go. I’ll always start one project or think of something to do and then get busy with work and just let it ferment with momentum that I eventually lose interest. and then I go bleh with that and move on to something else. I do believe I have short momentum…

but onto the “finer things club”…I love this! I mean, it’s not snooty or anything, I just want to enlighten the senses if you will. I guess instead of calling it a “finer things club” we should call it “enlightening the senses club”…ahhh, that’s more like it!

Okay…Middle Sister red rebel wine…”how was it??”

The taste is rather sweet but great after dinner, like a nice dessert. But, I’m not going to pretend like I know anything about wine except what kind of food might go with it. I don’t know the regions, etc. I do know this is a California table wine! so…what does that mean? See…I’m clueless, but as I discover more I will discuss more, and maybe my senses will be delighted  enlightened.

Its code mush enough! it’s like the THUNDERDOME OF CHEESE! EXCEPT ITS THE THUNDERDOME OF ENLIGHTENMENT!! how thunderous!
