Waves



Today's Bingo: Waves. Life is waves and their opposite. On the surface of the water, violent crashing or perfect calm. It's always changing, chaotic, and unpredictable. But below, in the deep ocean, even as the storm rumbles above, it's still. Your world is like the surface--always changing. You can get crushed and tumbled by the tumult (or lulled into thinking everything will always be okay by the calm); or, go deep. In you, in deep places, is perfect quiet. Choose to go there and the changes pass and you are always well.

Pumpkins



Today's Bingo: Pumpkins. In piles on carts, in the fields in rows, at the grocery for sale, and on hay in a bale. Painted and carved and made into pies; I like the pumpkins with funny looking eyes. Jack-o-lanterns with candles that brighten the night; the orange pumpkin is fall's opus to life.

Morning Moon



Today's Bingo: Morning Moon. "Mama, what's that?" Asked the little boy as he and his mother walked the beach one morning. "You know what that is." His mother replied. "But Mr. Moon doesn't come out in the morning. He is a night moon." The child said indignantly. "Honey," the Mother said, "He's been up all night." The child thought for a second, then said earnestly. "He is going to be a sleepy moon today."

Pure



Today's Bingo: Pure. Your mind is like a pond. It takes in everything. You choose what stays. Let the waste hang around and pretty soon you're soiled. Fill your mind with blue sky, smiles, and memories of mom's best meal: you feel pure.
