People Who Enjoy Quiet Rooms

Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

The Sun shows about a minute earlier everyday until the solstice in June.

How did we forget?

Fire and electric lights... is the answer.

Undertaking this Wonderfell project has taught many things, some practical, others metaphysical, the thoughts we think at daybreak.

At least poets do. O/

Like: If the Sun isn't up and it's past 6 AM in the Northeast, it's Winter.

Real quality of life details we so rarely consider. Every plant cares when the Sun rises, each animal too.

Fire and electric lights got us out of sync with the World.

They're a help in so many ways... sure.

But we have to use our technology to compliment rather than deny Nature... to encourage and direct her.

It's gratitude and taking care of our house.

And ourselves.

Our bodies are made of the Earth. The smart thing to do is to recognize how the World works best and mirror it to care for our bodies.

When we push against Life, life pushes back.

The most interesting thing regarding showing up at the same time everyday to keep a 'what's on your mind' journal is the eclectic nature of the entries.

My life is a writer's life: dependable comfortable peace and quiet is obligatory.

And well earned.

Artists must be soft in their lives to be loud through their work.

In a culture that's put sensationalism and a go-get-it get-er-done attitude on a pedestal our lives, the ways of successful writers and artists, don't easily add up to so many.

The space required to do our work is a quiet room. People who enjoy quiet rooms are labeled depressed, or so many other things, these days.

If everyone in the World could easily sit quietly in a room alone everyday for thirty minutes, almost every tragedy of humanity would subside.

Readers and Artists know this truth.

There's more to life than fireworks and faster.

There's the beautiful dream called yourself.

And it is Beautiful.

Have you checked in with yourself long enough to recognize it?

Life isn't an arbitrary duty; it's an opportunity to make something wonderful.

Take care and make something wonderful.
