Book of the Week; The Language of Emotions; What Your Emotions are Telling You by Karla McLaren

So...ARE YOU EMOTIONAL? That is the question? Yup~~~:D

Interestingly Enough; when the psychics are telling me that things are changing, knowing that they (things) always are, I find a book that sets me back and sets me forward and sets me straight and lies me down and then sets me back again. Angst, nope! Quizzical, yes and no.

Fulfilling~fullfeeling.

 I did my usual, read from the page it turns to when I first grab the book to check it out. Bingo, brilliant, but she goes around in a circle that makes me take pause. Do I trust, Of course not. I don't trust, but I love the written word, and what people are choosing to write about and what I am led to and how...

My life has been full to overflowing with coincidences that arc my attention and not only mine, but those of the coinidencidee's.....

Pause, well I think I was anyway...

Lull, hush, lush, awaken, slumber, wake, dull, grey, lighter, gray, bright; just like the weather? Yup. Weird.

So, I'm reading a book on emotion? No figure, just right where I need to be.

Thank you always, for knowing where I am and for always knowing that I am there! That still quiet is still quiet and still quite where I am....

Read it or not? Emotions are there for you, not for your antagonization(I know, it's not a word, it's an Allison word, k?). Learning that there is a way to understand them(your and others' emotions) which is not only, "...be happy, don't worry..."

...that is key to me...

I apologize for not knowing this before now, but we all kind of know when we take 'it' out on someone or spiral through a feeling we don't get a sense of understanding about or sum such. AND not that not worrying and being happy isn't good, it's just not 'ALL' there is. For most of us, we know that there is more understanding somewhere from our intrinsic understanding of just that, no matter what we've learned. That yearning tells us....something.... That something feeling we distract ourselves from, or are too busy to deal with, or too unworthy to look at....THAT SUMTHING.... It's annoying, right? JK

KEEP Yearning!!!! It leads to learning~~~(AN D, you don't have to quote me, it's Karla's brilliance which has helped me be free. TY Karla!)

May they shine on YOU~~~

Big hugs,
Allison

The Cure for Everything is Salt Water by Mary South

A little on Mary;
Here is a quote at the beginning of chapter three of said book;
Struck me, very interesting indeed Watson;

If wishes were fishes the ocean would be all of our desire.
Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was an American writer who spent most of her life in France, and who became a catalyst in the development of modern art and literature. Her life was marked by two primary relationships, the first with her brother Leo Stein, from 1874–1914, and the second with her partner Alice B. Toklas, from 1907 until Stein's death in 1946. Stein shared her salon at 27 rue de Fleurus, Paris, first with Leo and then with Alice. Throughout her lifetime, Stein also cultivated significant relationships with well-known members of the avant garde artistic and literary world.

The Restless Northwest by Hill Williams WSU Press

In The Restless Northwest, former Seattle Times science writer Hill Williams provides a fascinating overview of the geological processes that shaped the Northwest.

An attraction of the region is its varied terrain, from the volcanic Cascade mountain range to the flood-scoured scablands of eastern Washington and the eroded peaks of the northern Rockies. The vast differences, Williams notes, are the results of the collision of the old and the new. The western edge of Idaho was once the edge of ancient North America. As eons passed, a jumble of islands, minicontinents, and sediment piled up against the old continental edge, gradually extending it west to the present coastline.

Figuring out how and when these various landforms came together to create the Northwest took much geological detective work.

Unlike many geology books that focus on rocks, The Restless Northwest emphasizes the human drama of geology. The narrative includes firsthand accounts of people involved in the exciting geological discoveries of recent years.

The author enlivens the story of ancient geological events with fascinating asides on everything from enormous undersea tube worms to the Willamette meteorite, the largest ever discovered in the United States.

General readers will find Williams's prose refreshingly free of scientific jargon and easy to understand.

The Unbelievable World Of Snowflakes by David DeFranza 12.07.09; I wonder~ the other crystal~ Is either more essential? Permanent vs' Instantaneous

"Snow crystals," Ukichiro Nakaya wrote in 1939, "may be called letters sent from heaven." The Japanese physicist spent his life studying snowflakes, eventually becoming the first to create an artificial snow crystal in the laboratory.

His breakthrough led to a nuanced understanding of how snowflakes form.

Nakaya, however, was not the first scientist to take a close look at snowflakes. The process began as early as 150 BC when Chinese scholar Han Ying wrote about the "contrasts [between] the pentagonal symmetry of flowers with the hexagonal symmetry of snow."
Throughout history, many notable people, including Saint Albertus Magnus, Johannes Kepler, and René Descartes, took an interest in snow and snow crystals.

Centuries of study yielded countless descriptions of snow and illustrations of snow structure.

It wasn't until January 15, 1885, however, that a snowflake was photographed. Using a process involving black felt backgrounds he developed on his family's Vermont farm, Wilson Bentley was able to capture the ephemeral crystals on film.

He went on to take thousands of photographs of snow crystals, paving the way for advanced taxonomic studies of snow.

Bentley described snowflakes as "tiny miracles of beauty" and snow crystals as "ice flowers." He was the first person to argue that no two snowflakes are alike.

When Ukichiro Nakaya set out to photograph his own ice crystals Bentley's book, Snow Crystals, served as an inspiration.

For the conclusion of the story in slide show form tick the title.

Down under the ground and/or up above it, crystals are amazing!
Have a great night!

A Prayer(wish, hope, appeal, entreaty, plea) 4 You and Me

Prayer
6/30/09
From the Book of the 4 Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
My Wish 4 You and Me.
at the back of this little book lies some wonderful enlightening prayers. It doesn't matter what you call it, wish, or hope, if prayer doesn't suit you, but listen;
Here it is...
"Please take a moment to close you eyes,(ah, that's better), open your heart, and feel the love that comes from your heart.
I want you to join me with my words in your mind and in your heart, to feel very strong connection of love. Together, we are going to do a very special prayer(wish, if you want) to experience a communion with our Creator.
Focus you attention on your lungs, as if only your lungs exist. Feel the pleasure when your lungs expand to fulfill the biggest need of the human body - to breathe.
Take a deep breath and feel the air as it fills your lungs. Feel how the air is nothing but love, notice the connection between the air and the lungs, a connection of love. Expand your lungs with air until your body has the need to expel that air. And then exhale, and feel the pleasure again. Because when we fulfill any need of the human body, it gives us pleasure. To breathe gives us much pleasure. Just to breathe is enough for us to always be happy, to enjoy life. Just to be alive is enough. Feel the pleasure to be alive, the pleasure of the feeling of love....."
