The 30-Day Sit Spot Challenge is a way for you to connect with the depth of the natural world through one spot in the nature.
You can learn more about this 20 min. a Day Exercise, and why I think the experience can provide interesting opportunities for Writing Prompts, in the Introductory Post, and then follow the link, at the end of each post, to the next chapter.
Question #30: How will you weave the lessons learned over the past 30 days into your life?
Quote to Ponder:
Roots creep underground everywhere and make a firm foundation. Shoots seem very weak, but to reach the light they can break open brick walls.
Imagine that the brick walls are all the problems we have inflicted on our planet.
Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots, hundreds and thousands of people around the world, can break through these walls.
YOU can change the world.
Dr. Jane Goodall
Is Jane Goodall right? Can I help change the world...through what I do, and what I write, here, or on Meowsings, or even still on Cycling Dude, somehow? In the last 12 years of my life I've learned new skills, made new friends, and created 4 blogs, 3 of which are active, all of which have helped me break open brick walls of many types. I am a different, and better, person than I ever was before this period of my life began. What happened to me Friday Night/Saturday Morning scared the hell out of me, and has made me begin to think about my life, and my future, in ways other than what i'm used to. On this cool, and cloudy, Mother's Day evening I remember my parents, and the struggles they went through, how they both died far too soon, He a mental patient at 65, my Mom, of Diabetes, and Leukemia, 2 years later, at 61. That was in 1988, and 1990. There is so much I can do to take care of myself, eat better, and get out of the house more, all great ways to help me live until I'm 100. ;-D My upcoming visits with a neurologist, and my Doctor, will be the first steps on the journey that will be the rest of my life. As I sit here one last time, more grateful than I can EVER express that I am even able to do so, I ponder what I've experienced, and learned from this month long adventure, and it's very hard to put in writing, right now, because I do not yet fully know, or understand.
