"Am I In-Tuned With My Nature" --by RusticWoodArt

Frank
You sure live in beautiful surroundings, I looks like you’re a little short on snow, like our area.
The people living in the country are starting to have frozen drain fields, because of lack of snow, & it’s early into the winter.

Forgive me, frank, but this seems like an ideal motto for an ‘old age home’.

Never mind the going, just keep on.

and so I wonder how many people spend their lives just “decorating the landscape” rather than truly living.

keep on pondering..

—-your excused Don;
....you just didn’t sit long enough to hear the flavor of the word ’evergreen’!

An ‘evergreen’ tree knows no-season as they are ‘coniferae’ and retain their leaves all year round, as trees of the family ‘decidere’ cannot manage this feat of living.

I do not believe you will ever find an evergreen tree living in an old age home and that is why I study their habits, or as I say—-study those who live long and learn from them. “The Oldest Known Tree In The World”,....”is a specimen of this species located in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest of the White Mountains, with an age of 4,700 years, measured by annual ring count on a small core taken with an increment borer. It bears the nickname “Methuselah”. An older specimen, nicknamed “Prometheus”, was cut down in 1964.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Basin_Bristlecone_Pine ; and http://www.infoplease.com/askeds/world-oldest-tree.html ,,,,and ”Methuselah” is still alive!

That why I’m a believer in, ”Never mind the going, just keep on”! If you will just pay no-attention to ‘the going’ or ‘the doing’ and just keep on, you will find that your feet are always moving, and your hands will always be doing. The way I am, takes no-heed and pays no-mind, and so I keep on,....this to ‘just is’.

In the case of “Methuselah” there, well he just keeps on growing those rings, kind of re-minds me of another golden oldie by the name of Ezekiel when he talked of the wheel within the wheel and it just keeps on turning.

GODSPEED,
Frank

Quote Frank: ”...the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest of the White Mountains, with an age of 4,700 years, ...”

“But how about 10,000 years old?”

Another thing, Frank, is it actually correct to say that they retain their “leaves” all year round? Is it not the case that they lose their needles all year round? In my experience, conifers continuously renew themselves by sloughing off the dead needles as they grow new ones. I have some Cyprus Pines that shed their needles onto my roof and into my guttering. It’s a continuous task to clean the gutters to keep them from being blocked by the needles.

Hi Don;
—-actually ‘‘coniferae’ or ‘evergreens’ retain their needle leaves all year long, or it might even be more correct to say that evergreen trees do not lose all their needle leaves at once and so they retain their individual leaves for several years. Pines that are healthy will retain there one and two year old neeldes and shed their third year old needle leaves. And then there are those spruces that retain their needle leaves from one – six years and then shed those needles that are older.

As far as 4,700 or 10,000—-well its all by the they have ‘said crowd’ and these are the same ones who tell me how long I have to live. Never could see the point in paying them any attention as I’m too busy spinning my wheels and keeping on!

GODSPEED,
Frank

I listened to a podcast that said that we are no longer who we were when we were young. Every cell of our body has been “sloughed off” and replaced by new ones, and yet we appear the same. We just keep going on

Even more important than the renewal of the physical body is the renewal of the spiritual self.

”...if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Hello Debbie;
—-and this is why I just keep on!

What we now are writing in the areas of science and physics, especially quantum physics and healing, says that every seven years I become a new person. Another way of saying this is to understand that our cells are being re-placed every seven years with new cells.

Now if I understand what is being said here, then it becomes to my best interest to speak new thoughts or good words into those cells which now make up my body. As Obi was saying yesterday on your blog about ‘what’s in a name’, “as a man thinks so is he”.

There is a proverb that goes as such: “Pleasant words are [like] honey from a honeycomb- sweet to the spirit and healthy for the body.” When I speak words into my body I re-mind it of what it is now, not what it used to be!

GODSPEED,
Frank

or what it will be…. it only “is”.. oops there went another moment .. hello “now’.. and again it has passed.

I like the idea of speaking to the body, welcoming the new cells, getting them acquainted with the Spirit, the Intentions, the journey…

And so I just keep on
