Listening

Echo Of Small Things
Originally uploaded by Midnight-digital

I don't post much here, that's because I am more a listener/reader than a talker/writer. I learn by being quiet and taking in what goes on around me. You would be surprised what you can learn by just being a little mouse in the corner. People tend to forget you are there and talk about things they would otherwise keep to themselves.
But be forewarned, sometimes you can learn more than you really need to know so be prepared for a sometimes unpleasant surprise now and then.
I have been people watching/listening my whole life and recommend it highly. Our fellow humans are an interesting bunch and an encyclopedia of information, especially when they forget who is listening to them.
Try it some day, you might like it.

Another year to live!

“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”
~William Arthur Ward~

Put more structure and discipline in my Pagan life.
Set up and follow a schedule for study.
Get out in and observe Nature more often.
Work harder on my spiritual growth.
Be more devoted to writing in my journal.
Better organize my Book of Shadows.
Work on my meditation technique.
