If the parts if the soul are: the emotions, intellect, heart, mind, will, desires etc then “soul harmony” would be a beautiful blend of all their voices joined in one song in perfect leveled tones.

This is not just a sweet little piece of prose.
Every line is a Rock-Solid-Knowing.
Do you Know them too – or are they just ‘nice’?
Do you know them too – or do you think you can’t be included?
Tonight I asked Mr Google why a dog would eat it’s own vomit. Turns out it’s because it’s not revolting to them.
Their sense of smell picks up the same ingredients/scents that were in it the first time they ate it.
September focii (don’t think that’s a word but it suits my purpose)…
Margin month: Choose any of the last 3 months and go round again!
I’m rolling with August!
Proverbs often refers to people in generic descriptive ways like ‘fool’, ‘simple ones’ or ‘the righteous’ but it also refers to people more specifically as ‘man’, ‘woman’, ‘king’, ‘son’, ‘father’, ‘mother’.
This month, notice and consider each of the specific addresses and whether or not it’s truly only considered to be specifically and only for application in the role addressed or if it’s a generality or example, for emphasis or simplicity of expression- or something wider, broader, more encompassing – exclusive to the role mentioned or not.
INVITATION
The stench of bat droppings and the heaviness of dark encroaches on the senses where the only louder sound is the terror of the killer silently approaching and the desperation to get beyond his deadly intent.
The need to move outstrips the fear of the crawling black backs that glint in the approaching torchlight as you search and grope for the hidden lock.

Read every day looking for Head, Heart and Huh? moments.
Head – look for the Proverbs you have seen play out in life as true.
Heart – look for the Proverbs that have deeply worked something in your heart beyond a head kind of observation. Words that have specifically come ALIVE in your spirit!
Huh??? Look for segments that make you scratch your head and think “Huh?! What’s that mean? I’ve never noticed that! That makes no sense to me!”
There’s a very long string of reasons why I found myself in this exact location, under this giant leaf canopy at 7.30 this morning in Whangerai New Zealand…. The last three of them being – the allure of coffee at a local cafe, the cafe being closed for Anzac Day and then the onset of rain sending me for the cover of this tree to see how serious the rain was planning to be. It wasn’t very serious at all but I was so glad the uncertainty sent me hurrying to this incredible spot.
This photo cannot convey how glorious it was to be in the filtered light under this sprawling umbrella. The photo is as an onlooker instead of as an immersion.
Nudged.
Covered.
Enveloped.
Shadowed.
Sheltered.
Lit.
Immersed in beauty.
Loved.
It’s the 30th of December 2021. The second last day of the year. A strange year for many reasons for many people. Yet the repetition of this week between Christmas and New Year is striking to me… the week when the days of the week are confused, where time matters little, days stretch long in the heat looking forward to the cool of the night and that strange feeling – that I once would have labelled ‘boredom’ lurks around the edges.
