Snippets from random days. There is a lot that is the same from day to day. There also a lot of differences each day.
Eleven pm. I hurt and I’m awake. A not uncommon problem lately.
9 am. Awake. Had Mixed melon chunks and vanilla Greek yogurt for breakfast. The lower back aches. Munched the meds. Home alone and performing the morning hygiene rituals.
10 am. Stilton Blue Cheese and Roasted Garlic Triscuit crackers for snack time. Watching a bit of television.
Hanging out in the bed resting the back. Hopefully it will ease up some.
Around 1pm. I’m watching a movie. The pain meds have finally mellowed out the pain. I have scans coming up to see what is going on inside this body.
I managed a short outing for some groceries and a stop at Bullet Coffee for a Java Chip Frappe.

This back pain sent me to the oncologist. It’s gotta end. I am a wimp when it comes to pain. Meditating on the pain helps. Remembering I am not the pain. Remembering I am not this body. There is a blessing found in this opportunity to mindfully explore Terminus.
We visited the food trucks for supper. I had delicious handheld chicken pot pie. These days there is a collection of bottles that accompany me.

Living with Terminus is a psychedelic mind state. It’s living in wonderland. I wonder what will happen next.
Not much different than before Terminus.
I will say this, living is awesome and dying is perfectly safe.

Not suitable for the close-minded.
The word is not the thing. The word is not the thing. Hi Ho the derry o The word is not the thing.
In February 2022 I was camping full time. I was very active, easily hiking and riding my bicycle for miles.
April 2023
Amazing how much has changed in a year. Today I can barely walk to the mailbox and back.

Today I was reminded that I am allowed to live my life the way I am able to and the way that I want to.
With Terminus as a companion I find the horoscope below particularly helpful. I should spend some time with the myriad of feelings currently flooding my existence.
My favorite Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, wrote the following: “In us, there is a river of feelings, in which every drop of water is a different feeling, and each feeling relies on all the others for its existence. To observe it, we just sit on the bank of the river and identify each feeling as it surfaces, flows by, and disappears.” I bring this meditation to your attention, Virgo, because I hope you will do it daily during the next two weeks. Now is an excellent time to cultivate an intense awareness of your feelings—to exult in their rich meanings, to value their spiritual power, to feel gratitude for educating and entertaining you. ~ Rob Brezsny
I visited Galley Smokes and picked up some CBD gummies. screens, some flower, a grinder and a pipe. The CBD helps me sleep. Catacosmosis came by with painting supplies and we spent the day arting around. It was much fun. My Masterpiece.

A few more finds from Keri Smith’s book The Pocket Scavenger. I would like to include some of these as part of #The100DayProject.
Sumo oranges are easy to peel and they are delicious.
QOTD: “You are free to regularly revise your philosophy of life to account for the ever-changing contours of your own destiny and the ever-evolving urgencies of our shared culture.
You are free—FREE!!!!—to care dearly about what images and stories and words you allow to flood into your sacred imagination. You are free to regard omnipresent advertising as a form of propagandistic brainwashing. You are free to recognize that other people’s freedoms are as important as yours.” ~ Rob Brezsny
