1. I forgot to post this yesterday. So here I go posting it today.
2. I am stuck with this song since friday, and its driving everyone nuts, me most of all. The song goes on and on in my head...John Lennon's "Oh my Love". Whats wrong with me?
3. Its been Cold and Rainy and I badly want to hibernate.
4. I am having one of those days where I feel like "Where exactly did I intend going?". Its like I forgot where it was that I was planning on heading. I lost the map or something.
5. I am on a Steinbeck binge. I finished reading "The Pearl" and now on to the Red Pony and Of mice and men. As I read the Pearl, I thought, it sounds so much like a folk tale, and I did a little look-see on the web and realized it was based on a Folk Tale from South America.
6. I am annoyed at the Shooting in Arizona. What is it with people? I dont understand, I cant even comprehend the reason.
7. All of a sudden.. Three clocks in my home stopped working and I cant get them to work after I changed the Battery. Its like Time planned a strike or if I go on the off beat, seemingly illogical edge, something is calling out loudly to "Stop Time"....could that even be possible?
8. Do any of you ever experience days when you dont want to talk to anyone? You would think it will be good not to speak for a day and then somehow you want to extend it to days. Its weird.
9. This is probably the most disjointed piece of writing I have ever done.
10. Its the festival of Lohri/Makara Sankranthi on the 13-14 Jan. Its a celebration of the Sun's movement towards to the North Sky and entering the constellation of Capricorn. On the day we worship the Sun.
11. I watch my children grow and I have thoughts ranging from joy to anxiety. I wonder if my parents did the same.

It seems we are more connected than ever...disjointed and all... My thoughts are so similar to yours...Even as this reply is somewhat disjointed as you peak and vale ..so are my reactions to your words... Funny that all your clocks seem to be in tune with it..and my annoyance isn't so much with the shooting in Arizona... as the pathetic speech made by a man who used this opportunity to politicize and twist it into another pseudo-heroic gesture of humanity. ( am waxing cynical here. and quite disgusted ) ..And yes today was not a day for me to share either... I do believe I have soaked up a bit too much of the world's energy and must somehow regroup. We are both caught up in a disallusionment of sorts... maybe trying to find a place where the mind can peacefully counter balance. I am glad you shared this, Rashmi... it doesn't feel so lonely now.
I feel a bit disillusioned, myself. I am shamed of the dem and repub parties. I am sad for the victims of the shooting. I am sad for this country.
As for hibernating, I have done little but sleep the past two days. Just worn out and needed to regroup from being sick. I also think it has to do with the weather.
I love Steinbeck. Grapes of Wrath is one of my favorite books.
I think all parents experience the emotions you described as they raise their kids...least my friends who are parents have described feeling that way.
Maybe the clocks stopped at once not to "stop time", per say. but to encourage us to live in the moment, where time is really of little importance???
I have been sleeping more than is usual for me also... so tired...I think those of us who are 'tuning' into this shift are all experiencing some sort of physical and emotional change.. at least it seems so...
I wonder if your black page is any indicator... It is difficult to read on the page.. but must be of some import ..lest you would have your bright beautiful colors of other times.
that's so weird about the clocks...hmmm wonder what it all means, does someone need to slow down? LOL
it's been unusually cold here too
yep I have the no talky days
I am finally reading Brida
enjoy the festival lights
hugs
Jackie, in a weird coincidence, I had my talkative neighbour tell me she hasnt felt like talking the past few days....its really weird cause in this instance, it wasnt me picking up her mood but she sort of picked up on mine...The clocks stopping made me realize, I have too many clocks in the house *giggling* I have a clock literally, in every room, including the baths. Its not like I have to walk 10 miles to find out what time it was(cause I did live in such circumstances too) so I dont understand why I have so many.. One should be sufficient.
I am sad for the victims too, I just cant rationalize the event. The country will survive, its the individuals who usually feel broken. I will them strength to move forward.
Get well soon Jo. I am sending you thoughts, healing and of hot soup with turmeric and coriander(it acts as a disinfectant for our insides).
I loved his East of Eden.. have to read Grapes of Wrath.. its on my list of "Read before Death"
That is a good perspective Jo, I do try to be mindful of the moment although I admit(I think the writing above shows) I havent been ALL there these few weeks.
LOL Jackie, trust you to notice that...(hugs)Black to me is when nothing is clear, everything is in that lull before the storm, its time to stay hidden and make peace with self.
Danette, I have been the slowest, almost sluggish. I need to pick up pace before this month ends...
Its been unusually cold back in India where I come from too.. my sibling was complaining of the chill, he is someone who doesnt notice.
I would love to hear your opinion of the book.
Thank you Danette. (hugs)

WE FORGIVE YOU...BUT DON'T EVER DO IT AGAIN!!! LOL

I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOU...AND I WILL NOT LISTEN TOU YOUR SONG JUST IN CASE I COULD GET STUCK WITH IT TOO
3. Its been Cold and Rainy and I badly want to hibernate.
WELL I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU ..YOU ARE NO A BEAR...YOU CANNOT HIBERNATE...HUMANS CAN'T DO THAT
4. I am having one of those days where I feel like "Where exactly did I intend going?". Its like I forgot where it was that I was planning on heading. I lost the map or something.
YOU ARE LUCKY IT ONLY HAPPEN ONCE IN A WHILE...I GUESS WE ALL LOSE THE MAP ONCE IN A WHILE

THE PEARL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOK...I SHOULD READI IT AGAIN...THANKS!
6. I am annoyed at the Shooting in Arizona. What is it with people? I dont understand, I cant even comprehend the reason.
THERE IS NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND, IT IS TERRIBLY SAD, HORRIBLE, SCHOCKING...NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND...
7. All of a sudden.. Three clocks in my home stopped working and I cant get them to work after I changed the Battery. Its like Time planned a strike or if I go on the off beat, seemingly illogical edge, something is calling out loudly to "Stop Time"....could that even be possible?
MAYBE IT HAS TO DO WITH YOUR NUMBER 1 AND NUMBER THREE...
8. Do any of you ever experience days when you dont want to talk to anyone? You would think it will be good not to speak for a day and then somehow you want to extend it to days. Its weird.
NOT THAT WEIRD, IT DOES HAPPENS TO ME AFTER A LONG DAY WITH PEOPLE ALL AROUND AND KIDS WANTING ALL SORT OF THINGS, AND HUBBY WANTING ALL SORT OF THINGS...I JUST WISH I WAS ALONE, WITH NON WORKING CLOCKS...
9. This is probably the most disjointed piece of writing I have ever done.
YEAH, PROBABLY BUT IT IS OK...YOU ARE USUALLY VERY ORGANISED...I GUESS WE CAN FORGIVE YOU...
10. Its the festival of Lohri/Makara Sankranthi on the 13-14 Jan. Its a celebration of the Sun's movement towards to the North Sky and entering the constellation of Capricorn. On the day we worship the Sun.
I USED TO MAKE A SMALL DRAWING IN MY CLASSMATE'S BOOKS WHEN THEY WERE SITTING BY MY SIDE IN CLASS, A SMALL ROCK WITH EYES THAT I WOULD CALL A ''CUI-CUI'' AND WHEN PEOPLE ASKED ME WHAT IT WAS I WOULDSAY IT IS A ROCK WHO WORSHIP THE SUN ALL DAY...
11. I watch my children grow and I have thoughts ranging from joy to anxiety. I wonder if my parents did the same.
YES YOU PARENTS WERE THE SAME AND YOUR KIDS WILL BE THE SAME WITH THEIR OWN KIDS IF THEY HAVE ONES, AND YES I FEEL THE SAME...
BY THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE A TEN THOUGHTS FOR TUESDAY...BUT I GUESS IT IS FINE TO POST ELEVEN THOUGHTS ON A THURSDAY...
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY ! AS ALWAYS IT WAS NICE READING YOUR THOUGHTS...
OH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS!
It occurs to me that enslavement to time , ie: schedules, security, responsibilities, removes one from the "in the moment of Being" category...As if time is more important than Being. I would not be at all surprised if the "message bringer" of your inner self stopped all those clocks for a very good reason.
I have also, Rashmi...so much so that it seems I cannot do anything without exhaustion.. even walking up a flight of stairs to my office requires great effort. The energy shifting must be of some note... The pace of time is picking up.. and our bodies haven't yet adjusted to it...I bet we are not the only ones experiencing this phenomenon. I hope you can allow it.. and not take the responsibility for it all to yourself... As sensitive as you are.. it can be very debilitating... Just flow with it.. clocks and all...
8. Nooooooooooooooo! you cant do that.
11. even I wonder.
I could not find the word "COFFEE" anywhere. prove me I am wrong
lol @ maddys, I thought it too...no mention about coffee...
i just draw a cui-cui for you on my page...
@ Josie, Thank you !! Happy New Year! to you and family too.. Thank you! for the my own cui-cui rock. That Put a Smile on my Face. And Thank you for Forgiving my Trespasses (giggling). I had only 10 thoughts but when I posted one day late, that thought became the 11th one :P. Coffee is the love of my life but it cant beat my love for myself (Do I sound conceited?)
@ Maddy... LOL, I wont do that forever, I have to get out of my cave at sometime and talk too:P I wont prove you wrong.. cause you my friend are Right. I did forget my coffee for a while...
