Saturday, December 5th, 2015. On the way down the elevator, it stopped on the second floor and a neighbour stepped in and in small talk mentioned how far away from Monday that Friday always is and then how Friday ends up being the slowest day of the week where the work day seemingly will not come to an end. And this is exactly how my Friday turned out...a long slow and drawn out day where minutes barely ticked by...
But then the work day was over after a quick shower a few moments of relaxation we were over after my brother's place for his annual Christmas gathering of friends and family...the family part being me. It was a well attended evening and the bite size plates of food were delicious and then we were back home by about 10:30pm Now my brother wants to get together on Christmas Eve...we'll see about where we gather...we're hosting a New Year's Eve gathering so we don't want to host on Christmas Eve...I think a restaurant will have to do.
Yesterday's Tarot Energy is "9 The Hooded Man: The time of the Hooded Man is here. Whether he appears in the guise of an inner guide and mentor or simply as a state of mind, you will understand that now is a time to withdraw and rest. After a long journey through the Wildwood, many emotions and experiences need to be absorbed. This is the beginning of understanding - not just of yourself, but the universe. The hermit-like Hooded Man appears differently for everyone. Whether through meditation or solitude in the mountains, through prayer or holidaying in a secluded place, his light will illuminate the way to the heart of the endless cycle of being."
Today's Tarot Energy is “5 of Swords: The Tennis Game. Being overly competitive. A game which gets out of hand. A pattern of always needing to win, or to lose.”
Retreat for solitude and to gain understanding. And to understand that life is not always about winning or losing. We can look after our own interests however we should also try to find ways of doing so without negatively affecting others. Yes, this is sometimes hard to do but we must always strive to lift others up as best we can. Also, we all have limitations and we need to acknowledge this in our own lives. And we must also accept the fact that others may know better than us so we need be graciously humble at times as well.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Thursday, October 22, 2015. I had a bit of a sleepless night. I usually do when my partner is away however last night was compounded by the way my work day ended. A couple of people were let go for abusing company time and the rest us then had to pick up the fallout of their departures. But things turned out pretty darned well today and this I attribute to my honesty in not having the experience necessary to undertake training a new hire.
Thank You Spirit.

I had a lot plans for the next eight or nine days however I feel the need for quiet solitude and contemplation. I see images of candles burning and wafts of incense smoke rising and filling the air with sweet aromas. But then I'm also driven by the this urge to do more things than I likely can accomplish so I just let things unfold with the energy of the day such as with today's Tarot Energy of "9 The Hooded Man"...rest and relaxation and let both my mind and body rest for the evening.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Sunday, October 18th, 2015. Yesterday was a nice relaxing and successful day even with driving for one of us to get a haircut and the other to pick a few orders related to his model railroading hobby. And we even did our weekly grocery run before returning home mid-afternoon.
The evening was quietly spent watching the 'Rick Mercer Report' and 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes'. I piddled around with my model railroad layout for a bit, then flipped through a couple of model railroad magazines, before settling down with my Wild Wood Tarot cards. Then it was off to bed.
I slept well and slept in this morning perhaps due to the dreams I was having (can't remember much about them but it was like watching a long movie on TV or something) or maybe it's the bag of stones and crystals under my pillow: dumortierite, labradorite, hematite, tiger eye, quartz, celestite, unakite, malachite, prehnite, and chrysoprase. It was nice to awake later than usual and I even hit he sack early.

Today is a time to remove ourselves from our own humanity, if you will. A time to be secluded and allow ourselves to absorbed by nature and Spirit alike so we shed off the old and are reborn anew. Refreshed and ready for the next legs of our respective journeys.
As we partake in this oneness of being with nature and Spirit we allow every atom of our beings to be penetrated and permeated by the wisdom and knowledge needed that will help us move forward on our journeys. This newfound inner knowledge and wisdom will assist us in our daily living and each and every one of relationships and interactions in life whether at home, at work or on the street. Take time away from life, invest in yourself and the seclusion of being with nature and Spirit for it will only enrich your life, strengthen your spirit and empower you to be a better human being.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Friday, July 17th, 2015. I must say that my day job i coming along quite nicely. I've been working at this job for about sixteen months now and when I first started I thought I'd be lucky to last 3 or 4 months tops. I'm more involved in the day-to-day activities and out on the road and interacting with customers or potential customers on an almost daily basis. something I quite enjoy doing. Do I want this job to be it for and hang up my dreams of living life on the road? Not one bit.
Tonight our dinner conversation turned to driving and road trips and I chimed in with my two bits worth, stating I'd be happy driving on a road trip almost every single day of the year. Put me behind the wheel and let me drive. I love driving especially with the thought of having no clear destination in mind, simply driving and stopping where it feels right to stop. Overnight or maybe a day or two but always with the thought in mind that wheels will always be turning.
I worked on couple of blogs and related ideas and read a bit from one of my favourites as I'm really feeling the need to get out on the road as soon as possible. This pent up feeling has been with me for a couple of decades now and I think it's getting close to bursting.
AAAAaaaaggghhh!
I slept quite well and even hopped out of bed early so one of us could sleep in and besides it felt good getting out of bed and on with the day...the morning and sunrise were calling my name. I had breakfast and made lunch before the other half awoke so I had my quiet time and time to do a little extra so my early rising was written in the stars for this day.
Thank You Spirit.

Time to be still, to embody complete and utter stillness and quiet. It's a moment to allow yourself to melt away and become one with the cosmos, to simply "BE". Ssshhhhh....don't move, don't think, forget about the outside world, let go of your need to be in touch, ignore that text message that just popped up on your phone...drift away into the spiritual ether of the cosmos, lose yourself and all time. Did you feel that? That quick second of pure an perfect being that filled your senses and then was gone...that is YOU!
Was it only a second or was it seconds, minutes or even an hour or more? Time felt like it was standing still but it kept on ticking. But it doesn't bother you? Your filled with the effects of what some refer to as nirvana...perfect peace and calm.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
