I had experienced an acute loss of time. My whole morning had disappeared. What was going on here?

What becomes possible when we let go of emotional, physical, mental and spiritual clutter?
Wisdom of the Solstice and the Cuckoo
The bird kingdom, as a whole, represent joy. But individual birds carry their own frequency or overlighting consciousness. The cuckoo is no exception. Its message is not dissimilar to that of the summer solstice.
Let there be joy in your heart and a skip in your step.
Take a close look at your fears.
Do the deeper shadow work.
Put the old behind you.

The Wisdom of Magnificence
When might you use the word “magnificent”?

There is resting and rest and there is Resting and Rest.
The latter talks more to the promise of a peace that passes all understanding. The OM in Shalom. We relax into Rest. While resting (with a small “r”) is a verb; Rest is not a doing word. There is no doing or destination. No getting it right or wrong. Think of it more as a quality. In fact this Rest is part of our very nature.
The Wisdom of Woo
What is “woo woo”?
I would say woo woo is content that can be judged by yourself or others as off-the-wall, wacky, hippie, non-rational, not believable, naïve, or simply ridiculous.

Although when I think of fact-checkers ….. nope – we won’t go there.
