Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Interesting that you say that Pearl. For as long as I can remember...severe weather or the threat of severe weather has always had a calming effect on me. Even the approach of a large tornado once put me in a totally calm state that was/is indescribable. All the drugs I did in my life never came close to duplicating the effect.

Indeed, Bob, totally indescribable. There is something there in that indescribable immensity of a thunder bolt, the dark over cast sky before a storm...or the clear unfathomable, bottomless night skies with billions of stars, galaxies...something words cannot touch...describe. Glad we can see,'feel' this together. So wonderful.
Was just sitting at my kitchen table just now, and looking out at the sunny skies with a few dark clouds hanging here and there, but the sun is way too powerful and bright and the clouds din't seem to bother and just happy to float along...some clouds were bright white and some had a shade of dark in the middle...all moving along...well, ofcourse it's us who are moving, right, not the clouds?

That's funny, cute and a bit sad I must say. :-)
Where I grew up in childhood the skies seemed soooooo high up in the day, but so close at nights.

As a child too I never had any problems with anyone, with the world, with the people, with life, but people certainly did all for nothing really. Every irrelevant thing was made into a big deal, like a big drama! :-)
