Getting Off the Path -- Stop the Planet I want to Get On

Its been a while since I put anything in this blog. It sort of happened for a number or reasons. First off, I have gotten off the path. What I mean by this is that I have forgotten to get into the world and be a human being and not a human doing.

Human doing is about being on automatic pilot. It is sort of like not be conscious of what is around you and what is going on. Its been about doing things that have not allowed you to relax with the world, so sort of slow the process down, to consider your stress level, your health and your relationships.

Over the winter, life seemed more or less really hectic. Winter was not a hardship. It just seemed that I needed to be somewhere else for a while. After all if you keep up a torrid pace doing things everyday then you are " doing" and "not being".

The sanity that I have is with my lovely little place on the Gatineau river, my amazing wife and our cats. We lost a little girl cat, one that had been with us for 13 years and brought in Simon the wild man. The coolest thing about cats is that they are all pretty much the same as a cat that is, but they all have different personalities.

Simon sort of personifies the relationships in our house. He and Foster and Kathie all get along great. My wife sees amazing things and most of all sees hearts everywhere she goes. She attracts them. Anyway little Simon a kitten of 6 months and a terror has a heart on his back leg. Who knew and it is one of the amazing things that gets me back on the path.

The attraction path of knowing that everything happens just as its supposed to without not a lot pushing and pulling. Attracting what you what is part of the guiding principles in the "The Ten Commitments to a Better Life". Written well before the big attraction phase, I learned early that if you wanted something all you needed to do was ask. You just needed to know what you wanted. Simon sort of happened as an attraction story since we were looking for a loving little cat to take the place of Maddie. We sort of described Simon together and then there he was with a loving heart and his own heart and all.

So I hope to take some time over the next few months to take stock, slow down, smell the flowers and feel the moment. I think that's what we all want. A lot more moments and whole lots less action on the crisis front.

So -- I have to go now, I need to start thinking about something new and getting back on the path.
