Gratefulness
I need to hear the same concepts with the same words and new words frequently. I suspect males (or yang personality types raised in yang cultures) need to stop, look and listen long enough to read these words and let them penetrate.
The cello has been a good teacher to me, though after years of practice, I still have “bad” practice days. But who cares when the point of music is to feel a little joy, do a little dance, and glorify the One. It can be hard to remember, amid...
The cello has been a good teacher to me, though after years of practice, I still have “bad” practice days.

But wait. What if you were voting for the beetles? What if you had a bumper sticker, a sign on your front lawn, went to meetings. You would be ecstatic at the current situation. Go beetles!

Keep listening for the Crickets and love those beetles!
