mdehnersWhile the majority of my Physical projects for the yr are on hold until after my surgery, one isn't. For the last 25 yrs I've had a bad habit of having cereal for breakfast. While that cereal has improved(Organic with Nut milks), still, it hasn't the effect of my pre-Chuck meal; Miso Soup. Sometimes with Chix broth instead of Dashi, with land and sea veg. Even ever so often Tofu(it's pretty much the only place I like it in);>! I've had this esire to add Natto but the texture is off-putting. Maybe familiarity will breed at least Tolerance;>!
My Spiritual projects are sort of up in the air as well. Definitely the Heiti memorizing but still not sure for the others. One thing pretty certain is related to what's been bugging me the last couple of yrs. It deals with where you are on the "Ritual or Relationship" religious spectrum. Most folks(or all I've known) are stronger on one or the other. Me? I've always been the Relationship side. To me knowing and interacting with the Deity is more important than the Rituals done, even those for Them. The last decade I've been more on the Ritual side than I Feel comfortable with(though it took me more than a yr to figure this out;>!). The Rites were more important. Often, the Regin felt more "windowdressing" than the most important part and it bugged me. Maybe with all that's been happening the last few yrs it became more apparent. Some of the surviving Rites are more secular, so much so I feel like Christian holding Prayer meetings on Election Day.....
So, I'm definitely going to be focusing more on Them this yr.
Cheers,
Pat
