Early Morning Ponderings

Photo credit: www.damabeats.wordpress.com

It is almost four o'clock in the morning...what! In heaven's name...am I doing up?

Short Answer: I have no idea :)

Slightly longer answer: I have taken note that over these oh so short summer months that I adore and long for all year a new phenomena has taken hold: Pre-Dawn Epiphanies. I will find myself up when all the world lays deep in slumber (well most of the world in this hemisphere)- doing what you may ask...it really depends...reading, drawing, having deep spiritual conversations (yes mom with a real person :) ) or as I am doing now- writing. One thing these Pre-Dawn Epiphanies have  in common- besides the hour of the morning they take place is they generally have to do with the 'evolvement' of my understanding (of myself, circumstances or the world in general) in some form or fashion- or they are very creative in nature (drawing/writing) etc.

Anyhoo- so in spite of my efforts to tucker myself out- here I sit in my quaint 'studio' surrounding by wisdom (books) and life (plants) where I find I channel the 'doer' within. I encourage you to get yourself a journal, blog or both to record your own observations (the physical journal tends to be a lot more convenient at times I find albeit a bit old fashion for some- although I really find I am fascinated by paper texture...anyhoo)

What revelations have you had in the wee hours of the morning?

Be the Best You

The Resurrection

Hello All,

A friend of mine recently encouraged me to start a blog to share my many thoughts about the world around me and specifically with my interactions with it (especially the people) .... so true to form I set about "researching"...what does one say in a blog? who will read said blog if it is created? what will I say? what if I have nothing to say? what is my purpose? This litany of questions and very little concrete answers harassed me to no end for weeks upon weeks and then I made a decision: I will start a blog! All of a sudden it made perfect sense and people all around me were encouraging me to write about my experiences. Once the decision was made of course I had to mull it over some more, there needed to be a title, all of the experts said you needed a specific topic to write about...endless thinking and pondering...until TODAY.

Today I decided to put my fingers to the keyboard and go through with this non-daunting task that seemed so in my brain. I opened my lap top and typed in the wonderful Google search bar: Blog- a selection came up, I was thrilled, maybe this wouldn't be so hard after all, was my thinking- the page that came up was someone's blog entry- I figured I would read it for inspiration. The more I read the more intrigued I became- this person had an interesting view on life, excellent vocabulary- all two of her blogs were very well written- then I looked at the name signed at the end and it looked like a name I frequently used meaning 'Earth' and the words seemed eerily familiar. Wait for it... IT WAS MY OWN BLOG!!!!!! SMH LOL I found myself on the web- sneaky Google :). Not quite as dramatic as somebody's idea of the second coming but hey, whattya gonna do?

So they say that no one's idea is original and apparently "they" are right back in 2009 I attempted to embark on the world of blogging and apparently didn't get very far- however here I find myself back full circle so it must be meant to be (I even liked my title...so clever of my 2009 self)

So here I am to try again- committed to sharing my encounters and thoughts concerning the world around me with whomever shall partake.

Read, Comment, Share!

Blessings,

Welcome to the Many Meanderings of my Brain

Hello All,

I am beginning this blog as a way of officially and confidently stepping into the 21st century. After creating profiles, commenting, reading various web social networking sites I decided that blogging should come only natural. I am also beginning this blog because I have lots of thoughts that run through my head and I am not afraid to share them.

This Blog will be dedicated to my wanderings and discoveries of this beautiful thing we call life on this thing we call Earth. I am truly fascinated and most of the time humbled by the utter perfection that surrounds and sometimes devastated by the magnitude of our (human race) ignorance and destructive natures (which by the way I do not completely believe is inherent). I feel the weight of responsibility to make the world better than when I came into it daily, and perhaps this blog is a way of sharing that burden as well. So happy reading (and thank you for reading) Comments and Questions are welcome

Until we Meet Again,

Ela
