The Master Calls a Butterfly

WHAT A CATERPILLAR CALLS THE END OF THE WORLD,
THE MASTER CALLS A BUTTERFLY.

~Richard Bach
Illusions


Of Note: When we can see the whole picture then it may be possible to ascertain the truth of the matter. Problem is, we rarely see the whole, only bits and pieces of this and that. For example, much of what we hear on the news is selectively screened information or simply blatant propaganda. The answer is to become the Observer and, knowing that we do not know, withhold opinion and the concomitant emotion. Just watch. It is amazing how much we would take in if we held no preconceived ideas. While it is fairly impossible to do, it is worth a try every day. One day we too will be a Master and know the whole at all times. But right now the best we can do is know we do not know and become the Watcher. The world with more Watchers would be a world more filled with peace.

Today's Weather Report: More rain was forecast today but all we had was clouds. That was good because I was finishing a project outside that required a rainless day. Now that it is done, I hope we get thunderstorms to clear the humidity and chop down the mosquitoes. It seemed that they had disappeared this year, but the past few days the pesky buggers have been out in droves, even during the day. Having just gotten over Ehrlichiosis, a tick-borne disease, I don't need a mosquito-borne disease like West Nile Virus. A friend sent me an article about a case of Ehrlichiosis that was not promptly treated with devastating results. Thankfully, I know the symptoms and started the antibiotic right away.
