Wow. Bill dropped me off between the two trees where he picked me up from yesterday, and drove off.
.
Thank you Bill. Then 2 min later he returned and asked if I like oranges. When I said "Yes." He said, There on the back seat, I picked a few for you this morning. Thanks again Bill! You're a legend!
Meditation Time
(Look, Listen, Laugh, Lighten)
Break at 10:45 for ~30 min.
Off again at 11:20am.
11:30 coffee time (real coffee)
Jean-Marie & Valérie from France (New Caledonia), now retired in Yamba near Coffs Harbour, are travelling to Darwin to visit a son, and hoping to make Mitchell tonight, but they saw me, pulled up and offered me (in the richest French accent) some water or a coffee.
.
Then they added to that some cake, and a banana. How nice to have a coffee in the middle of farm-land, from an espresso machine! (see what's in between their heads?)
.
I read them today's reflection/ meditation (The servants of creative love…), attempted to draw Valérie, and we exchanged phone numbers.
Then about 12:10pm I raced them (in their big Land Cruiser) to the next guide-post - and beat them!
Thank you. Merci. Jean-Marie & Valérie. Bon Voyage!
And thank you to my walking partner creative love, who seems to really enjoy doing this. I must say that I really enjoy being part of it too.
I got some reception about 20km out of town. Then I thought that WhatsApp said that a mate had rung me, so I rang him back. We talked for 3hrs as he cooked dinner and went shopping, about life, the world and everything. Then I rang my Dad who had texted. We talked for an hour. How good to have time to catch up with important people. I got to my destination around 5pm then found a text sent earlier to say that Michael could pick me up from where I got to, just give him a call. So I did, & he did. Dropped me off for a shower where I was staying and invited me to share dinner with his wife and himself. He'll pick me up at 6:30pm. How lovely. Thanks Mike and Mike's wife. Thanks creative love too!
OLD TO NEW WORLD VIEW
Despite that science tells us "This world is
not what it seems on outside, to the feel,
with layers upon layers forming things",
I still believe that our ol' world is real.
Our scientific story tells us that
despite what we all see here (think we "know"),
there's layers of "community" which mat
together, and which interleave.. (quite so):《1》
Inside, within each body, making up
the living ones, are individu'l "cells",
or living creatures that can be corrupt-
ed, or combined to make a host where dwells
the multicelled "community" we see
that's planted right before us "on" (or "in")
our ground of being. Even you and me.
And these can be disrupted or can win!
The ways that these communities would seize
things 'round about to aid their tiny parts,
to work together: shelter, feed, and ease
their life, to bring a thriving from their starts,
are called in this Our world "to feed", & "clothe
and shelter", self or fam'ly, other lives.
The old words from Our world that covered both
are "love", & then there's "peace"- which meant "life thrives".
But smaller yet, each body that exists,
of rocks, or gasses, animals or plants;
(and irrespective of "life" tagged to its
existence as an entity, per chance..)
is made of smaller atoms, molecules,
or other things that kind of are like "seas".
But smaller yet (these aren't just words of fools)
are forces "circling", balancing with ease.
Where either particles or waves "impart"
existence to those higher levels too.
But here we haven't even made a start
on bigger things, like Galaxies and U-
ni-verse, or other categ'ries rehearsed,
like Supernova, Nebulae, and Giants,
Dwarves, and other stars that shoot and burst,
to cook up compounds, elements and ions
from which all of the rest can start to "be".
Invisible dimensions in this way
we start to understand, and maybe "see"
within our "mind's eye" - as they used to say.
But still our story makes more sense, or less
of all dimensions we've encountered here,
since we were born - to order and to mess,
with this ol' world. - And this is where I cheer
myself as I move on, and others too.
The world we "started" in, that let us learn
about dimensions and these worlds that you
have just now been reminded of, don't spearn!
The story that's apparent: God made this
whole world with more dimensions than you'd poke
at with a stick, does not seem so remiss
and starts to look less like it was a joke!
"The best is yet to come", as AA found
in fact, through living in this re-al world.
And there's a higher power hanging round
to see if we would reach out and be curled
within the love of biggest Dad, or Mum,
and let the Great Creator's fam-il-y
look after us and grow us, and then some..
towards more of a nature that is free
to love back, as we have ourselves been loved.
And that's why most religions in this world
admire, and think good-life was surely gloved
within the life, that we have mostly hurled
our insults at, and blamed him for our faults
and misdemeanours, laziness, and such.
It's him I would commend to you. Us dolts,
we killed the model human God loved much -
the second Adarm (and would kill his Eve,
that God brings from him while he's "not around").
In jealousy and ignorance, we'd weave
a net to catch them yet, like beasts been found
and named. So if you ask me to I'll tell
the story of the glory of God "THERE",
who loves his kids, and wants them to do well,
take on creative love, and learn to share.
