i have been voraciously attracted to green things for the past couple years; i'm not sure when it started. mossy tree trunks, wet grass, maple leaves, radishes, cucumbers, acrylic paint. i stare at whatever it is, mesmerized, and feel calmed, energized, healed, nurtured, and held up to the light, all by one striking note of colour.
green heals me. it reminds me of the earth; of regeneration; of stopping still; of being.
i'm feeling off-balance today, for the simple reason that i haven't been taking care of myself for a few days. not taking care of myself means: not having bought healthy food a few days ago when i should have; not meditating; not doing yoga yesterday; not sleeping well. not taking
care of myself. i mean this more as a gentle reminder that the steps i have taken worked in stabilizing me, and i should continue to do them.
i feel like a need a hug, is all. lately, i've felt strong enough to wrap my arms around myself and hang on. right now, not so much.

That's the best I can do for now, but I hope you can feel it.
PS...I tried earlier to come see what you were talking about re: the short story you mentioned, but I got an error message. It's finally letting me load your page though. Sheesh. The story sounds, um...interesting.
PPS...I hope you know I meant stream of consciousness as a Good Thing! Not everyone can do posts that move like water from one thought to the next and do them well. You can and do.

((((( you green girl )))))
the great thing about getting off balance is that it gives oodles of opportunity to return to balance. sometimes that's half the fun.
thanks you guys. i felt every one of your hugs. (hug you right back)
Dude! This 'taking care of yourself' thing is continuous, no days off from taking care of yourself! Go, now: out of your list of things you do to take care of yourself (eating well, sleeping, yoga, etc) pick 2, and do them, do them now now now.
