Yes, we are embedded in reality. We drip
reality. We are reality, and reality says today, hmmm
turkey for dinner.

When I walk in the quiet what will emerge. When
I walk in the woods what will emerge. These are not
questions as much as they are somebody blowing into a
bubble wand and bubbles emerge and float in the air.
Why is it so fun to pop the bubbles before they hit
the ground? Again, this is not a question to be
answered, but fun playing and free to wander and see
what will happen.
Beautiful comment Khoo Hock Aun. I felt a clear
harmonious rhythm.

P.S. Do my posts come across all jumbled up to
anybody else the way Bo says it does to his? I get
those from some people every once and awhile and it
does make it difficult to read.
