What keeps me in the present moment is the basket of a hot air balloon called the N.O.W. which is an acrynum for “no Other Way”.
Describe a time when you went against conventional wisdom, against society's idea of what is "right", to follow your heart.
Yesturday I wore one black sock and one white sock all day long….One on each hand !!Oh!!!
What do I like?
I like them chocolate bon bons they sell at Trader joes.
What do I love? I love Trader Joes. Every one there is so friendly! And it’s always a very pleasant shopping experience. Big supermarkets like Path Mark Shp Rite and Kings are so impersonal, they don’t care about you at all. But at T.J.’s the world is a place woth shopping at! excellent wines and breads and canned meats for my kitty kat!
What makes me happy?
Shopping, basically, and attention. getting lot’s of it. And more shopping.
What do I need for balance?
Equal Librium and plenty of it!
What are my strengths?
I can lift a car over my head and throw it about 50 feet. One of them little match box cars that is! Oh!
Can I rely upon myself?
No, I am interdependent on other members of my own species and some members of other species as well.
What are my weaknesses? Kryptonite!!!! defiantly!Especially cherry flavored kryptonite!
Why do I do the things I do? Because I’m a maniac!!!! A real , whacko! And I love it! Why else would I even bother trying to land a beach ball on a basket ball hoop with a whiffle ball bat while riding a bicycle and while wearing two different colored socks …..On my hands?
Each of life's challenges is a lesson in some aspect of love. C.M.
I agree with the quote above. This C.M. chick knows what's goin on.
What does it feel like to completely accept yourself?
I feels really realizational to completely accept that idea , that concept, that elusive greased pig we know as the self. Or my self, a case of mistaken identity, as Alan Watts stated in the book title .
Thank You for all them qestions, It is great to write and think about them,

I'd tell my friend and trust them to respond honestly, in kind...
It opens up a whole world of serendipitous experience. Perhaps we'll take a bit more time to cook an impromptu meal together. Or maybe we'll go out to eat instead.
Or maybe my friend and I will offer a prayer of thanks for the life of the animal, as well as the beans, veggies, spices, water, sunshine, stardust, breath of trees and animals, rain, compost, check-out clerk, truck driver, farmer or agricorporation, ancestors and dinosaurs now turned into petrol and soil, Thich Nhat Hanh - for teaching us this mealtime gratitude meditation, etc.
We could make an evening of acknowledging all the beings who took part in our nourishment...a list that would shut down the Academy Awards.
Amen.
