*in case you missed yesterday's video post, I am picking a POSITIVE Word of the Week with my family starting this week.
I hope you will join us.
•
WORD OF THE WEEK: Present (or Presence)
•
I found my Presence today with our dog, Farley.
•
We shared a bowl of potato chips.
She's gentle, ladylike to take the people food I offer her.
•
Which is frequent now. She's an old dog, flirting with the end of life.
•
I am in social isolation. I don't flirt. I hang on by my threads or I'm fine or I'm sort of depressed. Saddened + scared by it all.
•
Or I am joyful. Full of hope + inspiration.
•
And sometimes I surprise myself by how much I can’t care about everything.
•
That means, Farley gets whatever food she wants.
•
And she's a dog about the chewing.
•
She chomps a chomppy chomp - gum smacking, yellowing teeth out.
•
It's a half of a chip but you would think it was a chicken bone-in.
•
Her head even moves with her mouth.
•
She licks the salt.
•
She's always been like this. A loud, dramatic eater.
•
And after her meals, she wanders about - sniffing - scoping for more. Then she retreats. She settles. She sighs.
•
It’s one of my all-time favorite sounds.
•
And I heard it today.
•
Because I was Present for it.

#TBT That time in 2012 when he pretty much nailed how you cope with any challenge in Life....and foreshadowed how you would handle being Safer at Home during COVID-19.

Five minute runs look a lot like 60-minute walks these days....but it's working.

Move your body, move your feelings.

Field Notes – C.V.1.9. Day 11 # We’ve arrived.

Field Notes – C.V.1.9.
Day 11
#
We’ve arrived.
#
We find ourselves in this unfamiliar, dangerous, beautiful, together but apart world.
#
People get sick here. Many die. A virus dictates the social norms, which are the EXACT opposite of what they’ve been since any of us can remember. People are adjusting – they seem to be at times hopeful + other times, depressed + scared – even terrified. Some of the people believe it’s the end of the world.
#
I am not one of those people. And if it is, well – my notes will be here for anyone to use my understanding to get more of their own.
#
This place is riddled w/ fear + anxiety - an atmosphere of dreaded Unknown.
#
Also, there is Hope here – a certain class of resilience that thrives in these conditions.
#
It’s a place where children + families bike like it’s 1982. A dog or cat’s companionship is more valuable than the stock one owns. Warm smiles + friendly waves to neighbors are abundant. Community helpers are angels. Presidential leadership is weak, servant leadership is strong. Online content explodes to restore peace + create structure. Face time happy hour w/ friends. Kitty O’Meara’s words go viral: this place knows poetry offers an essential PRESENCE. People laugh here. They dance. And all of their prayerful questions + faithful answers can be found in music. People sing Lennon’s “Imagine” b/c they know they MUST imagine….the New World.
#
Here, art saves the people.
#
Learning empowers them.
#
The truth sets them free – no place has ever been truer than this one.
#
There is not one person who can outrun, outsource or outstretch the outbreak of Truth in one’s experience now.
#
Isn’t it interesting the virus doesn’t infect our ass or our ear – it doesn’t get lodged in a toe or the back of our neck? It replicates between the nose + the throat – it kills at the bottom of the lung. It enters + attacks us where we BREATHE – that thing we do to know our most authentic being, to heal, to grow…the activity we do constantly + rarely stop to notice or appreciate.
#
Stay home. Breathe. Face the truth.
#
This place requires it - for Freedom.
#
More notes soon…. #livewhatmatters #wedothistogether #thistooshallpass #ibelieveinus

We got a break from rain in LA today.
•
In the spirit of keeping all things clean, I facilitated afternoon enrichment on car washing: 80’s hair band style.
•
The lesson went REALLY well. Everyone learned.
•
Especially from the lyrics….
•
Tell me – what’s your favorite hair band song?
•
@shanjroberts this one is for you!
