Grass glistening in the low autumn sun shine

I love Fall! I love the low angle of the sun glistening on lakes and grass blades. The bright colors of autumn against the bright blue of the clear autumn sky. The dark green, fresh with dew grass - so thick in the cool air.

But, it's windy today and I see the leaves trying desperately to hang on but losing the battle. As I glaze out my patio door from the second floor and see the warm shine of the sun I want to bundle up and get out there to run. So, why am I stalling?

Could it be I love to type? I have another reason. I must allow the ZipFizz I just drank to settle. It's chilly inside. I have no heat on. But why? It's 64 degrees in here. Yesterday the afternoon sun warmed my condo to a very comfortable 71 degrees. Yes, I quasted in the middle of the building at an angle from the wind. By late morning the sun shines across my floor with loving warmth.

Enough writing for now. It's time for yoga postures to warm up to running. I'll keep it short today. Maybe swim this afternoon. I have a half marathon to do this weekend. But, I've been doing about twice a week for the past three weeks about.

I'm so looking forward to the event. I'm not the fastest! The idea is to get out there and participate and over ride my fears and concerns. I get anxious the night before and find it hard to sleep. I wonder who can? I begin running the race in my head in preperation for the event so my heart rate increases to higher then when I actually run I think. The mind is a powerful thing! I try to turn the anxious thoughts off but can't. Actually, I believe one year that I did sleep well without aid. But, today merely thinking about the event, I can feel my heart begin to subtly begin to pound in my chest! Go figure! Whatever happened to mind over matter. I'm not afraid but excited. I can't wait to get out there and run with the crowd and feel their energy. It will be spiritual.

I ask the universe now as I type this to make the event spiritual and magical! I asked as much for this past weekend events and it was exactly the way I experienced it - magical and spiritual.

I ask for today, beginning this moment, to be very spiritual and magical and learning and bright and cheery and calm and peaceful and loving with grace and graditude for my health, beauty, riches, wisdom, wealth and knowledge. I pray for a clam night prior to the run with deep un-aided sleep and comfortable and warmth.

This weekend was magical because I requested it to be. The sun glistening on the grass and lake! The bicycle ride with my love feeling so comfortable and close! The spiritual drum blessing fire and chatting the evening before in the brisk darkness warms with seasoned cidar and hearts so pure and holy - holy cow! Sound spirit - the named drums. The silence of love without saying!

I thank the universe for my many blessings. I thank my special spiritual guides in the universe and on earth living right around the corner. I am grateful! I feel guarded, guided, gifted and dream granted. Days filled with freedom and love and talent. Such musical talent. Such warm rich friendships that do not go unnoticed!

I asked the universe to keep my loves and myself happy, healthy, properous, winning, pain-free, energy filled, memory enriched, super-intelligent, filled with common-sense, clear veined, happy, loving, generous, gracious, glorified, and filled with abundant words of wisdom and guidance and faith.

I thank my special spiritual guides Emma, Ezekiel, Edy and Georgette. My magical in touch spirits. I feel this wisdom, their warmth, their love, their guidance. They are here surrounding me. I wish to be clairvoyant, psychic, with extra-sensual perception. I wish to see the future by feeling the intuition and wisdom in "just knowing". A hunch perhaps? Just knowing some things naturally!

I wish to have an eagerness of learning and photographic memory and audio memory. Once heard remembered always to match my photographic memory of words and thoughts and lines in books. I am hear to learn and be magical and spiritual and all knowing.

It was once said that we alone do not know our mental capacity. And that we only use a small portion of our mind's strength. Is the mind in the brain? I personally believe our minds extend the boundaries of our brains. Our thoughts, our minds, and our sub-consciousness is with us from life time to life time. We are all magical and mystical and spiritual but many are too earthly, too busy being human, too notice our mental powers. We have only to wishfully tap into them to reveal and experience our mental powers. I am so blessed to realize our mental powers. I beleve exercise brings forth our mental powers and physical powers. So I must first do yoga postures to stretch before I run. It's cloudy now.. looking windy, cold and sad. I will turn this into magical and wonderful -warm and sunny in my heart. The clouds will pass and warm sun will appear before I step out my door in a few moments.
