DAY TWENTY-TWO CONTEMPLATION

Stop for a few moments and take time to really think about what you saw, what you heard or what you read and give that some serious thought by turning it over in your mind.  As you think about it, consider how it affected you. Was it a surprise or was it something ordinary?  Extraordinary?

DAY TWENTY-ONE – MORE LIGHT

Day Seventeen described light in general terms, the sources of light both natural and man-made. Light has long been a way to celebrate life from the lighting of candles and bonfires to symbols for specific, historical events. We celebrate solstice and equinox four times annually and the world’s major religions all have LIGHT as the

DAY TWENTY – CREATING

Making something new or doing something you have never done before can be a creative act of learning, growing and changing.  Perhaps you need to let go of something old in order to have space and time for something new.  It could be a new skill, a new activity, a new connection, a new project,

DAY EIGHTEEN – FOCUS

Focusing on focus, adjusting how we see things, zeroing in on a particular point of view can be an interesting and revealing exercise.  Changing the angle changes our perception.

The sun is our source of daylight and the power of the sun is now being captured in solar panels and used for energy, an alternative, renewable source of energy. Solar power has the capacity to heat and cool homes, provide light and be stored in batteries for use as needed, such as in today’s

DAY SIXTEEN – PREPARATIONS

Getting ready, making plans, gathering resources, anticipating what lies ahead – these require all kinds of different preparations. Much depends on whether we are designing something new, going on a trip, looking forward to a celebration or a holiday, cooking a meal, painting or repainting something, repairing what’s broken, or something as simple as going

DAY FIFTEEN – MEASUREMENTS

In this Bold Experiment of 30 days of short posts looking inward with our thoughts, we are today half way to the goal. Whether or not we will make it remains to be seen, TBD, the double entendre of “to be determined.” We have many kinds of tools, techniques, skills and instruments for measuring things

DAY FOURTEEN – WEATHER

We see the reports, the data having to do with temperature, wind, barometric pressure, whether or not there is any precipitation in the form of rain, snow or sleet, maybe even other details like sunrise and sunset.   We look ahead at predictions in order to be prepared or to know what to wear.
