blogging & daffodils

I've been blogging for a little more than 2 years. I really love it for the immediate gratification of instant publishing, and especially for the relationships that have begun and developed with friends and other bloggers, including members of my own family. And how fun to have new blogging friends within the last few weeks, since Don began his chicken blog and they came over from there.

Two years ago, almost to the day, I posted these same daffodils and I've been thinking about that this week.

Blogs give us a chance to show the continuity of our lives through personal details. My blog is called Synchronizing, inspired by the little handheld device I use to coordinate my PC work calendar which says "synchronizing" when the data is being shared between the computer and handheld via a port hookup. I thought it was an apt word and concept for what I was going through at the time, which was learning to live in the moment.

Two years later, I'm re-reading Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now because I need reminding. I'm not worried about enlightenment, I don't strive for it. But I need to practice, again, letting go of judgments and labels that separate me from people.

I'm grateful to the daffodils for reminding me that we're all connected, all hooked up under the surface. I also love living on this farm and feeling Nature's cycles infusing me with a new rhythm. Well, I guess it's a very old rhythm, isn't it.
