July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Motivational Monday! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle , born on this day in 1859, once said "Any truth is better than indefinite doubt." How do you relate to this? Truth is related to the words fact and reality. One of the reasons I don't watch a lot of news is the lack of facts based on reality. Reality has become like the twisted corridors in a maze. We are always looking for a clear window to look out of that will lead us to a verifiable certainty. If it is authentic truth, most likely it will be better than doubt. Doubt will cause us to wonder constantly what actually happened in any given situation. These are sometimes the thoughts that Mindfulness is helping us avoid. Many people don't appreciate truth. Truth should alleviate doubt. It should shed light on darkness. People should not be afraid of accuracy and truth. I like the way the dragon was treated in the "Voyage of the Dawn Treader", by C.S.Lewis. When the scales were ripped away, reality was a good thing. quotes: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/topics/topic_truth.html Reality is what people who are not grounded are avoiding. There are a lot of problems right now being experienced by people on the earth. Here is my question: Why is it that so many people are involved in the wars and starvation being experienced on the earth? Where are the leaders that are suppose to give meaningful advice to others and drag us out of poverty? Why do we continue to doubt when we vote for someone to lead? Reality shows us what is out there but not always how to avoid problems. If the meteorologist tells you it will rain today, then the sun comes out and shines, did he tell the truth? If there are two people rowing a boat, one person has steady strong strokes and the other person dips his paddle into the water but does not use it properly where will the boat go? Truth is like this sometimes.  |
