[...] Habitual (October) Here I go generalizing, but as I see it we humans fall pretty nicely into two groups. [...]

Mary Oliver is my favourite poet, too. I think her poem, ‘Wild Geese’ resonates with your post here also, no? … http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/geese/geese.html

I was JUST last night thinking about the dailiness of life and routine and how I love/hate it. And I had this thought: you know in novels, stories, books, there’s always this simple narrative stuff like “and then we were in school for a year” or “we drove to the house” or “we were together for seven months” and you sort of breeze past those parts because there isn’t more detail given. Well, I was thinking about how moment-by-moment those bits really would be in actual living, how “seven months” would be made up of sleeping and eating and conversations and days spent hunkered down at home, with a bowl of cereal or a couple cookies or, you know, a bowl of your favorite Brussels sprouts. I guess what i am saying is that is what life is: it is daily, it is moments, it is now. It is routine and seemingly ordinary, sometimes even nothing “special” but those moments are NOT NOTHING. Lan is so right that later will be now anyway, and now you’re content, so enjoy it. (Love that, Lan, btw) Anyway, enjoyed this post very much and will be thinking about it.

oh what a beautiful post today!

1. i love brussel sprouts, but i was late in the game to this vegetable. i like mine sauteed in butter and garlic. a bowl to myself also makes me smile in content.

2. there is nothing wrong with being a person of habit, it’s the habit of living. i am capable of eating leftovers for a week without complaint, i listen to the same song over and over until the next fave song comes along and you know what? it’s not mundane to me because most of the time it’s like a new experience. hokey i know.

i would never dream of telling you what to do but don’t worry about what will happen later, be content in the Now. because later will be now anyway and Now you’re content.

RYC: Maria THANK YOU! You took my breath away and broke me down. Thank you so so so much! You are SUCH a special girl!

Now you: you are by far one of my favourite writers on here. I love your style and I love your artistic personality. I think as humans we are by nature always striving for higher and better. That is a good thing.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart
