A sudden golden flock of little birds...

Posted on Jan 6th, 2010 by TimeToShine : Corrinacorrina TimeToShine
Blue sky and sunshine, and we; spooned together relishing our last few minutes in our warm morning bed. Suddenly a little flock of bird wheeled around, and the whole flock glowed golden as one, momentarily caught in the sun, before landing together in one tree. 

I gasped and Ryan inquired.., and I described what I had just seen, whereupon they did it again, for both of us to see. And we did.
bird glow

And then I laughed because yesterday I was sitting in the afternoon matinee of Fantastic Mr. Fox and one Fox glowed (was it her or him??) when she announced she was pregnant, then ("12 & 1/2 fox years later!"), when she again announced she was pregnant, they both glowed, signifying the sweet maturing/evolution of their relationship.

I don't think I'm pregnant(!), I just had to say, "How cool is that!"

"3 Conscious Angels: Water, Air & Sunlight"

Posted on Jan 5th, 2010 by TimeToShine : Corrinacorrina TimeToShine
after the prayer

Come to sit with my dying friend I say; "How are you James?"

To which he replies with clear blue eyes and beautific smile; "I am attended by three conscious angels who abide with me always; Water, Air, and Sunlight."

His words alight on me. I am alight. I am utterly astonished; fluttered, lit up.

20 years since I first picked up that little book at Findhorn; The Gospel of Peace of Jesus Christ, and I have loved those Jesus words since first ever I read them, and uttered them silently many a time in diverse situations in my Planet Earth sojourn, but never has someone delivered them back to me.

I love how this plane astonishes me back to myself.

"Hurray for 'Funny Monday'... "; extended by popular demand

Posted on Jan 4th, 2010 by TimeToShine : Corrinacorrina TimeToShine
Between Christmas & New Year
There was ONE Monday: 

"Hooray for Funny Monday
The only Funny Monday in the Year
When the world-of-normal
can't quite rein it all in
before New year hits...."


This window in time drew on two numinous pieces of data in my memory-bank/archives:

Home schooling two daughters back in the '80s, they had surprised me one Saturday, saying how they just LOVED Saturdays. Why does it matter to you; you who are not bound by the Monday to Friday regime? I was curious to know. At which they both looked at me aghast that I didn't get; the whole world feels different on Mondays; can't you feel it??!!

It was years later that I learned the statistic; that more people drop dead of a heart attack around 9: 00 AM on Monday morning than at any other time of the week....

JOYLESS STRIVING....

So today {January 4, 2010) is the first Monday since that 'Funny Monday' declaration I made (to my family on Facebook!) and the ramifications of that were so alive in me still this morning, that I am very happy to report; another 'Funny Monday' readily manifest: 

We went out together on our bikes in the morning sun (I more often go alone). The San Lorenzo River mouth, out  to the sweep of the magnificent Monterey Bay was all sparkling in the winter sun. We cycled round the harbor, along the canyon and up to Staff of Life, got wheat grass & coffee and fruit and sat outside, relishing the bright warmth of this early January day. 

Ryan has been reading aloud at my request, from Jung's 'Memories, Dreams, Reflections', which we are both loving renewing/reviewing, and I am crocheting a mad multi-colored hat that will find its head in the fullness of time.

Beginning the day in this way, I do believe constitutes a 'Funny Monday' {life-enhancing} Act, which may well extend out through the whole year!

How I Have Loved This Length of Days..

Posted on Jan 4th, 2010 by TimeToShine : Corrinacorrina TimeToShine

How I have Loved this Length of Days
No clock alarms.. no knot-nerves-frayed
The inward turn'd, the rain, the lights
our music and our special rites

Thru New Year's Day & weekend still
to give us time to still;
Be Still...

In this America we needs
must take such time
to tend to seeds
we scatter'd;
scattered as we ran
planting
chanting;
Yes We Can!CCR McF,  January, 2010

Okay fellow Scorpios, here's your 2010 encouragement...

Posted on Dec 29th, 2009 by TimeToShine : Corrinacorrina TimeToShine
"It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" 

""It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" is a Jazz tune composed in 1931 by Duke Ellington and Irving Mills. 

In accordance with your long-term astrological omens, I propose that we make that song title your motto in 2010 - the standard you'll keep referring to as you evaluate which experiences you want to pursue and which you don't. Please proceed on the assumption that you should share your life energy primarily with people and situations that make your soul sing and tingle and swing."

Christmas Eve & Quark Stars: To Drink A Magic Potion......

Posted on Dec 24th, 2009 by TimeToShine : Corrinacorrina TimeToShine
Be you but 3 or ninety-four
the voices echo through
and though you be light years from here
Loved Voices; part of you  

You must make a Christmas potion
And drink it in one go
From all the winter berries
(except of course the Sloe… :(  

You must make a magic potion
that is steaming hot and red
And drink it on sweet Christmas Eve
before you go to bed  
Kendal kissing bough

The berries of this year have grown
and will not come again
and everything you have been shown
will bring forth fruit…..
or wane  

What things you choose to name and praise
what things you dwell upon
will grow and what you choose to leave
like compost will be gone  

Then name the things you love the most
delightful and delicious
then each to sup the Christmas cup
and name your heartfelt wishes 

What kindles best the oft-forgot
it takes a certain match to start
It's the merry-making magic
that is kindled in the heart  

Then place your magic potion cups 
beneath the '09 tree
And once upon asleep 
you'll dream A Piece that's yet to be 

Not set in stone, not guaranteed, but something to re-member
Things all too easily forgot
Are sparked by one small ember  

Now should you think this magic stuff is old time quackeroo
it's best you duck the ten ton truck of quarks that quack at you 
For though Quark Stars* are fairly new in our old line of thinking
it's levity that's overdue and gravity that's sinking (us)  

Thus you must drink this potion; be you child or quite (up) grown
And make the magic strong enough, since it has now been shown 
That y =equals z 
and x is a spoof 
and v is a sort of jam
and life is algebraic
as well as made of ham  

The real truth of the matter is
that you are made of stars
whether you originate from underground or Mars 

And what you're bringing through has not been brung before
And what you weave with kindred now Reveals an unseen door  

There's doors we've never stepped through
nor ever dreamed we could
Yet doors of your deep dreaming
are not made out of wood  

They're made out of far-reaching
beyond this time and space
from overnight deliveries
from your unique home~base  

No one but you can make the trip
no one but you can bring
that particular particulate
with your familiar ring  

To return now to the potion
that you drink on Christmas Eve
it's not childsplay and thus this elf 
with you one thought will leave  

A truly awesome spell is spun when you opt to drink a potion
Threads are set to shimmering and events are set in motion 
That will carry your deep dreaming across a thousand years
to all the children yet to be
from ancestors to peers.  

While Planets turn and Seasons morph and shooting stars still shine
The present is the gift 
and the gift: 
two thousand NINE 

Unwrap the gift before it fades and help each other to
recall the highlight moments that were for In-Forming you  

Thus you shape the things to come; by naming what has been
Appreciating assets means 
Re~counting what (you  love) 
you've seen   

Appreciate.. Appreciate means 
increase expand extend and grow
Appreciate means integrate
So you know you know you know 

The silent K in knowing
stands for hitherto unheard
So speak your piece and thus release
The awesome K-know ker-bird.  

beeKoz... 
that bird is awesome; 
an awesome wingéd thing
into our sky that bird will fly… 
but only when YOU 
DO YOUR THING! 

CCR McF. 

*Quark Star  A strange star composed of strange matter. This is an ultra-dense phase of matter that is theorized to form inside particularly massive neutron stars.  

It is theorized that when the neutronium which makes up a neutron star is put under sufficient pressure due to the star's gravity, the individual neutrons break down and their constituent quarks form strange matter. 

The star then becomes known as a "strange star" or "quark star". Strange matter is composed of up quarks, down quarks and strange quarks bound to each other directly, in a similar manner to how neutronium is composed of neutrons; a strange star is essentially a single gigantic nucleon. 

A strange star lies between neutron stars and black holes in terms of both mass and density, and if sufficient additional matter is added to a strange star it will collapse into a black hole as well.  Quark Stars feature of several cosmological theories. Quark Stars are largely theoretical at this point, but observations released by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory on April 10 2002 detected two candidates, designated RX J185635-3754 and 3C58, which had previously been thought to be neutron stars. Based on the known laws of physics, the former appeared much smaller and the latter much colder than they should, suggesting that they are composed of material denser than neutronium. 

It remains to be seen how the question of strange star existence will play out.  

Wishing All a Quarky Christmas Eve!

"Virgin Galactic will be using clean and safe technology, tech that is many 1000 of times more environmentlly friendly than any previous manned space vehicle.

Already Virgin Galactic's carrier  White Knight II is the world's largest all carbon-composite aircraft. With the end of the oil era approaching and climate change progressing faster than most models have been predicting........ robust, safe, and more importantly environmentally benign space travel is more important than ever....."

Suggest you just watch the water in the crisp ice and snow  of winter and listen to the words..

But if you want to cut to the chase of a phenomenal parent to child communication, go straight to 5:55 minutes and hit play

The Human Equivalent of birdsong

Posted on Nov 27th, 2009 by TimeToShine : Corrinacorrina TimeToShine
Bird_song_pure
I had landed in England on my birthday; 11:11. My first English-soil birthday in 20 years.

And now, at my sister's house, every bed & every bedroom was full after my birthday celebration. I was sharing a bed with one of my daughters. In our room also was 13 month Holly and 3 year old Minnie.

And there, in the pre-dawn darkness, pre-verbal Holly sang out; one melodic line that plucked me from sleep in utter astonished delight. 

Then silence, as I lay, alert now, almost breathless at what I had just heard.

Minutes passed.. then she did it again, another glorious melody~string. Another silence, then some rustling of bedclothes as she transitioned into infant-like chatter of which I am familiar; also delightful but with the former glorious human-birdsong still reverberating through my awed psyche.
