"Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are;
Little birdie in the sky,
Why'd you do that in my eye?
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
Boy, I'm glad that cows don't fly!"
Wishing. We all do it. Positive thinking, forward-looking, picturing what we want to manifest.
Easier said than done, I'll admit.
I think I speak for a lot of us when I say I 'wish' for a lot of things. They're not greedy, selfish, mean, or lowly things...to the contrary. Times just ain't easy for the bulk of us, and it's a matter of learning to be at peace "as-is" until we can effectively create positive change.
With that said, I have not felt my 'usual' literary nudges from the Universe of late...like going to a well to draw water and getting sand. I am in no way stopping the blogs and book chapters....but until my overwhelmed plate trims back, I'm afraid I'm going to be going 'underground' and more silent for the time being.
There will be blog posts, but for a few weeks I imagine they will be sporadic...I do appreciate those of you who check in, but, honestly, I'm not one to 'track' readers and follow numbers trends. I have no idea who reads my palaverings, none at all, save for those that write comments.
As with anything I do in "Life", especially flutes, I simply "do what I do" and pass it on. I don't 'expect' things from others...as the old saying goes (paraphrased), don't walk behind me as I may not lead...don't walk in front of me as I may not follow....just be beside me and let's let the Trail of Life lead us where it so chooses...or we choose....
As an aside, my War-Horse laptop with Vista O.S. is showing signs of dying...I may well be switching to Windows 7 within 48 hours, and if/when I do there will be another reason for ol' Bob to be 'quiet' until I get things up and running again.
With that said, I'm bidding a temporary ''adieu" as I deal with an over-filled plate of s'ghetti. It's all I know to do....
Until we meet again....

Hurry Back !! we enjoy you very much ! take care.
Remember, the joy is in the journey! Don't loose sight of that in the face of tough times or a full plate.
"Amen!" to what Bill said!! And I for one, sure need to remember THAT today, myself!
For whatever reason the Universe decides, for whatever purpose or value or teaching-moment to behold and take to heart, it's always darkest before the dawn ... and then morning comes ... inevitably, morning COMES ... without fail or prejudice. And there IS joy in the journey!

Cute poem, Bob. Hurry back. You will be missed. I understand about being busy as my "plate" is pretty full this week and next. Bye for now, Lori
