What You Want, Can, Believe

I was riding the train one evening when I overheard the docile conversation between two women, probably in their late 40's or early 50's. One of them stated, matter-of-factly, "At our age, we gotta do what we want, buy what we like. As long as I can fit in that dress, I will get it. Don't think so much. Gotta make yourself happy. Don't take jobs where you gotta stay at work so late. Nowadays everyone wants to tie you down."

It was an interesting moment that I was allowed into their world for a minute or two to hear that.

Another evening, I was reading about astral projection, something I have been trying to do for a while now. I found a blog by someone who did it, and met a teacher of some sort who told her something to this effect, "A belief in these abilities is not essential - it is more important to remain open and willing so that the beliefs that you hold do not stop you from realizing your abilities."

Now that seems applicable to anything and everything, I think. Which means there is so much more I do not know, such as whether or not any of this is indeed applicable elsewhere, though believing it is means that....

Return of the unblogging blogger

Private. Secret. Lazy. All applies to me as a blogger.

I cannot fall asleep so this quiet blog is now rather useful. Like a quiet abandoned toolshed in the woods that I bought ages ago but have selfishly kept from everyone else... I can find a little peace here with me, myself and I. With a new app (yes, since the last time I wrote, or typed, here, I have sort of "upgraded" to a new phone), I can now easily update my future self of how my present, or past as it shall be seen from the future, life is going.

I am going to try, yet again, another round of astral projection. Wish me luck, me!
