Hello to all, Hello to myself,

Yesterday was not a unique day in the sense that it came and went with little to note.  Now that I am trying be aware of my days, to recognize my thoughts, to be more present and open to the roles & participation of thoughts in my life, to be open to understanding… It seems that I am initially aware of one thing… the possibility that this ‘yesterday’ might be an often reoccurring day in my life.

So… that raises a few question for me.

• Is a day of little note… a bad thing, a good thing, or a thing?
• What determines the definition of ‘little note’?  Is there an issue of relative perspective involved that creates an unfavorable result regardless of the actual day?  If so, what do I need to understand in order to move away from this false self-imposed perception.  Why do I so easily make this assessment of my ‘regular day’, my ‘yesterday’?
• Is it possible to have acceptance of a day as if it were a single musical note.  The composition of a great song would not contain only high notes that repeat over-and-over.  It would have many different notes that when isolated, are just notes… some high, some low, some long, some quick… none better, none worse… but when they are thoughtfully arranged, then they something beautiful.
  • If the day is a note… Am I the composer?  Am I the instrument?  Am I the sheet or the pen?

I know that this may sound weird but in writing about my thoughts as I am right now, I can see these thoughts more clearly than when they run wild in the mind.  I can see their relative place or existence in space.  I feel like I am freezing a thought in time and space, then allowing me to float around it and ask it questions… everything slows down and I can sit with it in a calm and collaborative state.

I don’t know that I have specific or definitive answers to the questions above, but I have spent some interesting time with them.  Part of me feels that since I posed the question that I should share my thoughts on the ‘answers’ or the ‘contemplations’.  However, I am not going to share the conversation of my mind about each one… I guess that I feel like the question is worth sharing… my contemplations about them is for me.

I will say this… the grace of perspective is its ability to change.

Thank you for being, Michael.
