FUN FOTO FRIDAY:  OUTTAKES FOR THE WEEK 4/21/14

4/25/2014

 
I've been waiting this morning for life to speak to me. Listening to life is indeed an art, particularly given the plethora of distractions.  Those distractions are like the incessant commercials that loudly punctuate network television until I’m pushed to throw the baby out with the bathwater and simply silence the idiot box altogether.   

The house is blessedly quiet after a raucous start to the day.  What, you protest!  How much noise can two empty nesters generate first thing in the morning? 

When you’re really listening, the kitchen offers a cacophony of sounds to herald that break in the usual nocturnal fast.  There’s the thud of cabinet doors and refrigerators closing; the clunk of pots and pans finding purpose; the click of gas burners igniting, the whir of mixers blending, the swish of coffee makers delivering a cup of joe; all conspire loudly, with my lover, to announce the morning meal.   

Jimmy is indeed a blessing, as is the life we have together, the life I have within me, the life all around me.   When I really listen to life, I learn to trust life, to live without fear of being loved, valued or challenged. 

It’s deeply satisfying to feel such a reverence for life, for relationships.  Wisdom comes with befriending life, with allowing life to flow through you rather than around you. 

Whoa!  That was deep. 

Let’s dig out with a few Fun Fotos.  No better way to celebrate life than with laughter.  Okay, maybe just a few chuckles.  Whatever!

Yes, I'm digging pretty deep for Fun Fotos! Things weren't all that funny in the Middle East.
