The right dog, of course. :-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880145777347900626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12721167.post-78911752158800643782008-12-01T20:02:00.000-08:002008-12-01T20:02:00.000-08:00Lovely and appreciated.Reading about those moments...Lovely and appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Reading about those moments, especially those remembered by sight, are to me lovely and fascinating. I remember everything by how it sounds, how it feels, the scent, texture, flavour as I breathe the moment in deep. If it is remembered by visual cues, it is because I described it to myself and, in the end, is remembered in words, concepts, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, nouns, prepositions but, after all, no real vision remains.<BR/><BR/>I think the trick is to find the sacred in the ordinary so each moment is sacred, each simple, common, repeated now, just as we look for the ordinary in the sacred to move that which is given to the divine into the everyday. <BR/><BR/>So thank you for this moment in the divine.Adam Byrn "Adamus" Tritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146942018135434361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12721167.post-88837894319471097592008-12-01T16:15:00.000-08:002008-12-01T16:15:00.000-08:00Dear Susan,What a beautiful, lovely post.
