What was the last game you played?

There is a guessing game on my shout it has been there a couple of days and no one responded.so far.  What is big, hairy, and flies?
I like word games, guessing games that require thought, games of skill rather than chance. I was asthmatic, allergic as a child and that was before inhalers so I never got into sport much, but that is water under the bridge. I enjoy the occasional prank too, the last was with my partner who is not a gardener, I persuaded him to plant a few pumpkins, which he promptly forgot to nurture,  they struggled.  i went past a stall that had giant pumpkins and purchased one - secreted it among the pumpkins he planted and awaited his reaction lol he really believed he had grown it til he realised it was not attached to the plant.!

What is your favorite holiday tradition?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 25, 2009:

Usually the family gathering together, is what is best, we all get on well, exchange presents and play daft games together, chat and enjoy thre festive fare,
We had planned to spend christmas at my eldest sons, however this morning when Mum woke she said I feel awful, my hearts been going bumpity bumpity bump and she looked quite wan and pale, last time she had a heart attack she had no pain, so to be safe I rang the doctor, after ECG and checks it was decided she need not go into hospital, so it was a quiet day at home, and rest for her and visit to my son cancelled, she is tucked up in bed now and  i can relax with a nice cup of tea niclely christmas spiced, with clove cinnamon and ginger. Family all had a chat by phone,  will hopefully make up for it be together at new year. So much for our plans, Mum was priority today.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

What has been bringing you balance?

Posted on Dec 23rd, 2009 by Zephyr : Poeticspirit Zephyr
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 23, 2009:

Life can be made safe and predictable and boring zzzzzzzz, , or we can venture and adventure, and streeeeeeetch ourselves, it is worth a few tumbles but we learn to dance on a shifting carpet, or to surf the waves, as we explore we see more of life, of All until we see our interconnection as One. Then we join hands and dance into the future together supporting one another, caring for all including the planet, as we aim to do here at Gaia.  Loving, supporting and caring for one another, other species, and our environment, that is real balance.

Please give Gaia a special christmas present

Posted on Dec 22nd, 2009 by Zephyr : Poeticspirit Zephyr
Giant rainforest trees, tiny fungi and wild coffee plants are among almost 300 species that have been described by UK botanists for the first time in 2009.
The finds were recorded by researchers from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, who carried out surveys involving teams in 100 countries around the world.
The discoveries showed how little of the world's plant species had been documented, the researchers said.

They warned that nearly a third of the finds were in danger of extinction.

What do you think the planet is asking of you?

Posted on Dec 19th, 2009 by Zephyr : Poeticspirit Zephyr
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 19, 2009:

The planet doesn't have to ask, she already has my gratitude,  my love and my respect.
 I am keeping my emissions low, not travelling much at all, planting trees at home and abroad, growing my own veg and fruit in alignment with nature, and adding to the  fertility of the soil. I'm using eco friendly products, recycling and renovating, shopping ethically considering sustainability, my needs are few as far as resources are concerned. I thought this through a long time ago, and changed my ways to be in alignment with life and spiritual growth. Mother earth has my love and I wouldn't knowingly inflict  any further harm on her or all who inhabit her.

If you could pick up one new habit, what would it be?

Posted on Dec 13th, 2009 by Zephyr : Poeticspirit Zephyr
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 13, 2009:

I am more of an adaptable, intuitive open to change / growth, spontanius, in the moment sort of person, rather than a creature of habit.  I am prepared to change my ideas or try something new if it feels right intuitively and it means progress towards aligning life and love / higher self.  I'm aware I may not always be right, things can change, indeed life is change, No judgements either way, habits may suit others, no right or wrong way, this is just my way.

How do you feel about yourself?

Posted on Dec 11th, 2009 by Zephyr : Poeticspirit Zephyr
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 11, 2009:

Pretty amazed at my capacity to cope at the moment, the universe has thrown a lot at me lately, but moment by moment and step by step I am coping with it and things seem to be working out OK gradually. My neighbour was doing DIY, excavated footings for garage foundations, and instead of filling it in as the building inspector instructed he left it empty, we are on a hill. and with all the heavy rain we had, the path and fencing at the side of mums house fell into his excavations, undermining the garage and kitchen wall, the garage door came off its runners,  It's still subsiding a little.  I had to arrange resiting for the central heating and get a surveyor in who then said get a structural engineer in, who then called the building inspector in, Mum is a full time job day and night, and christmas is getting nearer, my respite carer went off sick, but the worst has happened, the heating is restored, our purse is much lighter, thanks to having to pay surveyors and structural engineers and builders up front, but it boils down to the neighbours negligence and hopefully it will come off his insurance not ours, hoping they will pay up if they don't because of his negligence then it means taking him to court, luckily our insurance covers legal costs., hopefully it won't come to that., so say a little prayer for us. I have learned I have a strong constitution and staying power for a 69 year old,.

What are the qualities of true vision?

Posted on Dec 7th, 2009 by Zephyr : Poeticspirit Zephyr
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 07, 2009:

Well perfect vision might be the obvious answer, but it is so much more, it depends how we define vision.,
       A blind person may have vision and pick up on something through other senses, that the person with perfect vision misses.
       Perception is important, Some have the ability to pick up something not actually visible, through foresight, or mental acuteness, sudden revelation or realisation.
         Recognition or creation of something posessing extroardinary beauty can be described as true vision.
          The power of imagination can play a great part in true vision, seing possibilities others haven't and bringing a  project or artwork into being, or a leader with the vision to bring about beneficial change..
          Then there is divine vision, something supernaturally revealed, through a dream or synchronicity, and being in the flow with One / God.
        So I guess it is seing, percieving, and imagining the whole picture, natural and
supernatural,, lateral as well as linear vision, now and as Is ,as wll as anticiptory vision.
