JOYFUL WANDERING -- 13
+ updated at 3:29pm ESDT on Tuesday, April 12, 2011
+ so many possibilities + infinite + endless + abundant + overflowing + real + delightful + enlightening + glorious + profound + YOUR TURN!
+ Last night's joyful wandering took me to Fenway Park. Well, not really. Only through the magic of television. The Red Sox beat the Yankees 4-0. Pitching ace Josh Beckett allowed only 2 hits as the Red Sox won their first series of the year. I love Baseball. Especially when the Red Sox win. Or the Giants as in last year's World Series. The first time the Giants won that fall classic since moving to San Francisco in 1958.
+ Inner Frontier offers "The Eightfold Path" by Joseph Naft. This is one of the best in his Weekly Inner Work series of lessons.
+ Inner Frontier offers "The Peace of Meditation" by Joseph Naft. This is the third lesson of 11 in his The Path of Liberation series.
Excerpt 1: "To see our thoughts as thoughts, as self-generating, automatic thoughts, to see our emotions as emotions, as self-generating, visceral responses and reactions to inner and outer events, we need some space, we need a place to see from, a place to gain some perspective on our inner world. That is one of the primary purposes and powers of meditation: to find the spacious inner peace of cognizant stillness, the true consciousness."
Excerpt 2: "Meditation shows us the possibility of living in awareness itself, rather than in thoughts and emotions, attitudes and reactions. Relaxing into awareness, into the cognizant substrate beneath our thoughts and emotions, takes us out of that busy stream."

SATURDAY APRIL 19 MUSINGS
+ Unseasonably warm today along the Erie Canal. Mid 80s. But normal spring weather is predicted for tomorrow and the next several days.
+ David Ortiz hit a grand slam homer in the third inning leading the Red Sox to an 11-3 win over Texas at Fenway last night. Ortiz has been in the biggest slump of his career. Hopefully, that's over. The Sox have won 4 in a row and now occupy first place.

FRIDAY APRIL 18 MUSINGS
+ I held out for a long time. For years I have been using one of my web pages at ABUNDANCETREK.COM as my blog. I am grateful for 2 Presbyterian Church (USA) staff people for introducing me to the concepts of Web 2.0 and walking me through the creation of a blog at a recent meeting of the Seminary Support Network. They are Dana McMahan and Jonathan Dennis of Creative Services.
+ It is getting unseasonably warm along the Erie Canal today. We may hit 80 degrees F. We have had 4 beautiful days. It was chilly, however, on Monday & Tuesday.
+ I will not muse every day but on days that I do I might update my musings from time to time so you may want to come back here again and see what I have added. I will soon be creating a blogroll for the sidebar but untill then you can find my blogroll at http://www.abundancetrek.com/blog. Scroll down on the column on the left. One of the best, if not the best, Progressive Christian blogs is Shuck & Jive by John Shuck, pastor of a very progressive church in Tennessee. He once served a church up here in the frigid North! Check out "These Are Our Mountains, Too", John's post yesterday on a successful PFLAG organizational meeting for his region. The post includes a video of some figure skating with a powerful song, One World, by Celtic Woman.
+ Manny hit 2 home runs last night at Yankee Stadium leading the World Champion Red Sox to a victory over the Yankees 7-5.
