Wild garden

This year I thought to see what kind of things would grow in a garden if l did not mow it. A patch of wild lawn garden :) Very pretty whats come up so far but maybe not a good image to see it by, so I think to take others later on in the season

Iron Man

I saw this movie this weekend and really enjoyed it!  I thought Robert Downey Jr. played this part so perfectly as he did with Charlie Chaplin too, and because we were late getting to the theatre and needed to sit almost on top of the screen :) I even thought to have seen him drinking a green drink, which was funny, because they are referred to as Super food:)

The unknown unknowns

I came across this quote, which I really liked, because I too feel something in what the words say, I feel the unknown unknown’s are in the space of grace.

“As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”

–Donald Rumsfeld
Former U. S. Secretary of Defense

and from this site, http://resourceinsights.blogspot.com/2007/01/unknown-unknowns.html

where I found the quote, I also liked the author’s insights into this. I see them as relating to choices and consequences.

I looked up Donald Rumsfeld after, trying to see what this quote was said in relation to, and found out only that it was said in a speech made February 12, 2002.

So many 2’s there are, both in the quote and in the date.

so.. I also looked up and found this:)

and wonder now if there is always a retrograde before a new moon

For mother’s day

I won’t be near a computer this weekend but so wanted to post this here as a tribute for Mothers day.

the video to the right of this article is worth watching too I think:)  especially to see what the little hippo does at the end.. so much trust on the part of the tortoise and so much gentleness from the hippo.

An entry that came up..

when intution was typed in the tags of wordpress instead of intuition. I really liked it:)

A dream

I had a dream the other night, I was writing about it here earlier in the week and when writing about it the power went off and thought ah no, maybe it was not meant to be written about, but saw it here saved today so thought I would post it.:)

Usually I do not remember any of my dreams, or if I do it is just for an instant when I wake, and I always think I must write this down, these things that come in dreams, but never do and never remember them, sometimes I think I only dream that I should it down:)

But the dream I had the other night is still with me, it is one when I think of it I see it, and I think it might have to do with choices.

In the dream I was visiting someone in a place I was not familiar with. During the day when the person I was visiting was at work I set out wandering and came to a spot where I began to free-fall. Along the way of free-falling I went through clouds and passed mountains, and landed twice on tracks full of snow, sliding down on these, that made me feel I was more safe and hoping they would not run out or that I would not fall over the edge of them. But they did run out and when they did I noticed others in front of me, some together some on their own, but where the second track ran out they would jump over to something solid in the air and in my dream I watched how they jumped and when it came time for me to either continue free falling or to jump I jumped, and all the ones who jumped ended up in a village, talking and laughing about the ride, then we went shopping :). I remember thinking in my dream, how am I going to get back up to the place where I was, but I did and when I was telling the person I was visiting about it, they said, oh, yes, I know about this way, but there is another way as well, a safer way to a different place and the shopping is a bit better there as well.

When I was thinking about this dream, annalizing it:) I wondered what way I would have taken, were I told the two ways, or if I had not seen the ones before me jumping, would I still have jumped, but also, in my dream the free falling way was the left way, the safer way to the right, but then I realized as well, that in my dream I was south facing north, like being in front of the computer, and if I had have been north facing south then the freefalling way would have been right, the safer way left and wonder what, if anything, this means, since reading about the poles and retrogrades.

Questioning

I have been wondering what makes me feel sad whenever I read about cloning. I realize that it is usually when I read about cloning animals that I feel the saddest and I do want to see what the difference is between the cloning of animals and plants or vegetation.

At first I thought maybe it was because I felt one day the ways of reproducing could be done entirely without a womb, and being a woman and experiencing what I have always felt to be a miracle would be lost. But thinking about it more I realized thats okay, the miracle is really in seeing new birth, that can be experienced by all. It is what I felt when I saw the dogs, a new birth, without thinking how it was they came about. It is the feeling of seeing any new births, asexual or sexual.

But when I do think about it more, I wonder more, and think of what is natural and what is unnatural. If we are part of nature, and nature has shown to re-birth but as well to destroy , then we too must have this ability. I feel nature does so in reaction to its survival, so when thinking of cloning, do we as well do so for survival, and this is what bring questions to me still. I question if we are truly at the point when all before us is unfixable, and if maybe evolution, in its meaning of change, should go backwards a bit to see if what seemed right before, before the time it was destroyed can be made right again, to see maybe the effects of this type of evolution, or are we not meant to go back, but only forward, but when I think of this I think of something I read in reading of the Age of Aquarius and astronomy, of the precession of the equinoxes, and retrogrades, and in the cycles do we really only end up where we were before. This I feel is of nature, and so part of us as well.

Explanation: Why would Mars appear to move backwards? Most of the time, the apparent motion of Mars in Earth’s sky is in one direction, slow but steady in front of the far distant stars. About every two years, however, the Earth passes Mars as they orbit around the Sun. During the most recent such pass over the last year, the proximity of Mars made the red planet appear larger and brighter than usual. Also during this time, Mars appeared to move backwards in the sky, a phenomenon called retrograde motion. Pictured above is a series of images digitally stacked so that all of the stars images coincide. Here, Mars appears to trace out a loop in the sky. Near the top of the loop, Earth passed Mars and the retrograde motion was the highest. Retrograde motion can also be seen for other Solar System planets.
