What did you learn today...?¿

[treegod]

That there is a difference between imperative and hortative.

Sing! (imper)
Let's sing! (hort)

[Darian]

In a passing days' few, this is the knowledge I've taken to. I needn't worry for what others might like, or would otherwise have me do, be, or say . Lest it is me simply being me. It is long overdue that I find my roots and be only who I have always been. I can not be you, for you are you, therefor I must only be me.

"When your day has fallen, and all hope has circled; know this, know it was a Druid who only wished you peace."

[Flutterbye]

I learnt that learning prayers & poems is not as difficult as I thought, since I managed to learn the Druid Prayer this morning, in preparation for my initiation ceremony

[mabby]

I learned to stop looking for the crane in the field. His disguise is too good to ever see him. Instead look at the field and notice any tiny variation in its pattern -- there you will find the crane you seek. So, you seek by not seeking in a way. Very odd! The dog taught me this (and much more, too).

Today I learned that I am stronger than I believe myself to be, and that maybe it really will be okay.

[treegod]

That looking back and going over old posts can bring up interesting things.

[Aphritha]

I learned that the last few bites feel alot bigger in the tummy than they looked in the bowl.

OhEmGee, yes. I often have that trouble, and learning to just leave them has been such a huge help in my weight loss efforts! I still clean my plate/bowl on occasion though.

[Aphritha]

And on that note, a new day's dinner lessons...when confronted with ice cream and potatos at the same time, eat the ice cream first. Its not as easy to put in the to-go box.

[Opal]

That termites farting can account for up to 20% of the methane gasses realised every year. They must be stopped

Well done, and congratulations in advance of the ceramony

Gas-X in their water supply!

[nia-ceridwyn]

That taking care of an aquarium is harder than you'd think. Sheesh!

[LunarLiz]

Today I learned that all it takes to hold up moving house is one incredibly inept carpet fitter

and that I have more patience than I thought - on account I haven't thrown all my toys out of the pram - oh, wait, they are all in cardboard boxes so I couldn't anyway, even if I had wanted to...

Is it gin o'clock yet???

It really is...fish are the most difficult and expensive pets I've ever had.

Is it gin o'clock yet???

How I miss my 5' o'clock gin...

[Hagar]

a poem by Rumi
BIRDWINGS

Your grief for what you've lost lifts a mirror
up to where you are bravely working.
Expecting the worst, you look, and instead
here's the joyful face you've been waiting to see

Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes
If it were always a fist or always stretched
open, you would be paralysed

Your deepest precence is in every small contracting and expanding,
the two beautifully balanced and co-ordinated
as birdwings

[LunarLiz]

Today I learned that it's a tad chilly up in the Henry 7th tower of Pembroke Castle right now,

and that I'm getting a bit long in the tooth to go gadding about ramparts

[saphera]

Today I learned that sometimes it is ok to speak up and be heard.

[Cercatore]

Today I learned that the turkeys at my job have had chicks.

[nia-ceridwyn]

Today I learned that the turkeys at my job have had chicks.

That's very cool!

Today I learned that sometimes it is ok to speak up and be heard.

Yes, yes it is. I've had to learn that lesson myself, a time or two.
