10 easy ways to grow your spirit

Exercise that spirit!

1. Release demons by tickling them and forgive yourself from harboring them
   
   
2. Find your spirit huddled somewhere in your body by imagination and meditation 
   
   
3. Coax your spirit with kind words to come out of hiding and not being afraid with imaginative bread crumbs or star sprinkles
   
   
4. Play with your spirit daily and feed with happy food for thought
   
   
5. Talk to your spirit daily and show it that it can explore different parts of your body, starting with the feet to ground it
   
   
6. Slowly move up toward the head and show kindness at every level
   
   
7. Once at the head, imagine sparkling happiness and love in your aura
   
   
8. Now imagine a rainbow in your aura
   
   
9. Usher out any bad feelings or thoughts that remain
   
   
10. Tell your spirit it will be okay and that you will do your best not to let it get too small from fear of living again

Current observations

Handle on Jupiter

Is Jupiter always like this?!

ushering the moon

Can’t I just wonder anymore?

I will try to not look it up

just look up!

and wonder

it feels so damn good to have a handle on the planets

seems like I'm always reorienting 

Astronomers might hate this poem

or shake their heads

I don’t understand ellipticals

or when the moon rises at different angles 

I guess I don’t understand rotating spheres either. 

Thank goodness there’s a lot not to understand!

Dr Seuss fall 

The fall leaf display this year is colorful and lasting 

We were in drought and then had a record rainfall for a week 

Even our normally brown leafed autumn oak is an illuminous mottled yellow underneath the canopy 

We are used to colors of fall in this region,
but if a complete stranger to seasons
or the planet visited
they would think they landed in a Dr Seuss storybook
There could be an extraterrestrial version of Seuss..

Daylight Savings Time God Damn (I don't like it)

Today it feels like spring, in November
This morning is dewy, temperature perfect
perfectly cool
It smells of new earth, well rested
Instead of getting ready to rest
I'm instantly no longer waking and driving in the stale darkness
It already feels like 10 o'clock by the time I hit the road
Don't even get me started about the evening
Who has the time?
Now I have to start all over again in the morning
But the dark in the evening waits for no one
Abruptly, it is night
As if dusk is skipped

Stupor Mundi

translates to: marvel of the world

The origin of stupid: from Latin stupere, to be amazed or stunned.

This, in relation to my "realization" that our species is now stupid.

Maybe we are too amazed and stunned to do anything rational to preserve the human race.

Also, this occurred to me-

The spirit is of the mind, of the environment, nurture

The soul is of the heart, of the innate, nature

If spirit and soul are real, do they merge after a body dies?
Do they split?
Or is it sometimes both?

What happens after decades, eras of recycled souls? 
An assumption that the soul is more static than a spirit.

It's probably both and other things.
Everything and nothing are so intricate.
