act sense ably

Without sympathy self promotion becomes defensive pathetically.
Role playing was the most enlightening practice of my mediation training.
As a parent to teens, the opportunity to sure up my foundation comes from the acceptance of self interest, care is tricky or they (teens) won't!
This stage of emotional hygiene easily goes pathological when the care for appearance denies a feeling for integrity (honesty.)
Attention (to detail) can sense the act discomfort amplifies if care isn't realized generously.
Response abilities can easily misappropriate care as limits (& budgets.)
Credit care to fund potential power plays - act better naturally.
"Never appeal to a man's "better nature." He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage." - Heinlein, pg. 244, Time Enough For LOVE

son draws dad theme

Dick is still leading songs on his own & with The Roof Raisers. His arthritis seems less restrictive the more he plays guitar. He is so sweet, he has to control his diet to keep from being diabetic. He'll be 87 on April 29th.

standing balance

The Heaviest influence is gravity,
The source of gravity is the sun (Sol system)
The Sun is the creation of light,
So take yourself lightly.
Allow what is coming (lightly),
and let go (of the heavy)

My son bought me that T-shirt -"not MY president"

righter than happy

How dependable is your relationship with happiness? Does it ever let you down?
Happiness and frustration are as related as day to night.
Desire for happiness is a frustration amplifier.
To be happy is materialistic accumulation of advantage.

Consider contentment as desire-less.
Emotional balance is the best projection of what we desire happiness to be.
Contentment might be what most people mean by being happy.
Attention to this detail might allow better response to how we relate equally.

The Founding Fathers could not make any of the thirteen colonies happy but crafted allowances for all to be content as United States.
As individuals' needs (to be happy) become frustrated, patterns of recognizable processes develop graceful composure. Content with self allows satisfaction with others as individual rights.

tension balance

When everyTHING goes right we are SO happy to NOT be frustrated.
Realizing how preparation (intuition) has saved us from frustration is happiness.
Personal ownership (of reality) starts the maintenance of care investment.
Reality has properties that power the value system.
Measuring (having) awareness allows spirit to enter (& control) an (animal) body,
depending on
LIMIT of what IS provided
to balance needed attentions.

w/ contentment counseling, taichi, yoga, exercise of more interest, intention development, etc.

order light . .

bright enough to see.

assume attitiude

where do you place your point of view
between critical and approving
and could that contentment become more approving?

leaking advantage

Taking advantage of being able to impose standards (on others) that you wouldn't tolerate is the basis of slavery economics. We all start indebted to a caregiver for basic living needs. Conditions become a value system. Balancing conditions become a creditability. Sharing advantage is educational.
Is education an entitlement? How will it credit all involved? Could how you got it be more important than what you have? Grant credit freedom to liberate.
Why can't credit institutions see how (that) they are enslaving our freedoms with liquid standards? I still can't believe I'm buying water in bottles (enslaved for profit).

pointy opinions

Opinions are foreplay until the climax understands us all.
