Contentment within Beauty

Posted on December 31, 2009. Filed under: Culture, Health, Music, Philosophy, Spirituality |

The last one of the year! And the penultimate one in the series! I’ve been spending the “Twelve Days of Solstice” (since December 21) in contemplating various aspects of my reality. Only one more daily meditation to go, the one on New Year’s Day. Day ELEVEN: The Quality of Beauty, the essence of contentment; the [...]

Do I have faith in Faith?

Posted on December 30, 2009. Filed under: Musings, Philosophy, Spirituality |

Day TEN: The Quality of Faith; the Gift of Abundance. I thought I’d start right out with the Quality and Gift I’m meditating on today. These are a bit of a challenge to me as I continue on my twelve days of introspection. (Day one was Solstice, December 21.)  “Faith”, especially, is a tough one [...]

Stop. Look. Appreciate.

Posted on December 29, 2009. Filed under: HowTo, Musings, Philosophy |

I tend to find inspiration in unlikely places. For instance: My firewall software. Whenever I go to a website it doesn’t recognize, a little window comes up asking how I want to treat the web address. I have three choices, and I can choose one, two, or all three. These are the choices: >Remember. >Trust. [...]

Just Joy

Posted on December 28, 2009. Filed under: Culture, Music, Musings, Spirituality |

♫  ♫  ♫  “On the eighth day of Solstice my Spirit gave to me: Gladness, Bliss and Joy!” ♫  ♫  ♫ Today, my eighth day posting daily about qualities and gifts of the season, something happened for the first time: The Quality and the Gift were the same—almost.

An Open Heart

Posted on December 26, 2009. Filed under: Health, HowTo, Musings, Philosophy, Spirituality |

Day SIX: The Quality of Lightness of Being; the Gift of An Open Heart. After a rather frantic, but fun, party [...]

Simplicity: The bringer of Order

Posted on December 25, 2009. Filed under: Musings, Philosophy |

To those celebrating Christmas Day or Boxing Day when you read this–Good Holidays to You! Today is day five of a self-styled twelve-day Solstice meditation for me, and I decided to write my thoughts about it daily on this blog. I started on Solstice Day, December 21, and will end (at least this series) on [...]

Thoughts become ideas, which become substance!

Posted on December 24, 2009. Filed under: Health, Musings, Philosophy, Spirituality |

It’s Day four of my twelve day delve into the qualities and gifts of the season! (See my December 21st post for the concept.) Day FOUR: The Quality of Ideas; the Gift of Lofty Thoughts. If ideas really do create substance, I’ve been having some pretty strange ideas, lately. I’ve been having this weird physical [...]

“Eternal” — a religious or physical concept?

Posted on December 23, 2009. Filed under: Culture, Musings, Philosophy, Science |

Day three of my twelve days of solstice-into-new year meditations contains a quality of the day, and also a gift I’d like to receive for the day: Day THREE: The Quality of the Eternal; the Gift of Light. “Eternal Existence” seems, at first to be a religious term. Some (not all) religions offer hope of [...]

Intellect: A tool or the center of being?

Posted on December 22, 2009. Filed under: Culture, HowTo, Musings, Philosophy, Spirituality |

I’m writing daily, for twelve days, about twelve qualities of humanness, and twelve gifts we can give ourselves as we prepare for a wonderful new year. Day TWO: The Quality of Intellect; the Gift of Transformation. Yesterday, I mused about Intuition, and [...]
