Spaced Out Thoughts


I am not the first to ponder this nor will I be the last but it continually blows my mind that Earth out of our solar system is the only known planet to have livable gravity or an atmosphere conducive for us to live in; that we know of. Regardless of whether you lean to the Big Bang Theory (not the popular to show), or a high deity let’s God or whatever you call him, why planet Earth and why have eight other planets that pretty much are useless to us? Okay, Jupiter does catch some of the asteroids headed for us but we are the only planet so far with gravity, our homo sapiens make up pretty much limits us to surviving here regardless of what we might find on other planets.

   What I know about astronomy can fit in a shot glass, in school it bored me to tears but over the past twenty or so years as I awaken to higher levels of the world around me and other worlds around the world I live in; what hangs up in space somehow matters now. It fascinates me and makes me wonder.  Part of me wants to believe that WE are the only multi facet beings on a living breathing planet but knowing that there are other galaxies and layers upon layers of infinite space I can’t say for sure that we are.

  Just a closing footnote here, If Mercury is that close to the Sun why hasn’t it burned to a crisp?

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical. The elephant is quite large and nobody can just pop one in their mouth but oddly enough there are people out there that want you to over tax your system trying to get one down in one bite. Apparently, there are some lucky individuals out there who can unhinge their jaw and eat an elephant in one or two tries so that sets the bar for everyone else. I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
