A yellow lovebird flew, followed by a crow over the black and white apartment building across the street. Blue skies abounded and I was amazed. Only a few blotches of cloud, but they were sparing. One small cloud looked like the fossil of a shell, or perhaps it was God’s smudged fingerprint.  Another looked like a white flower bouquet. Voices were shouting in a school soccer field –one voice came through loud from a megaphone.  Planks of wood were being sawed up at a home renovation down the street.  The wind was cool, almost nippy. Orb of Sun managed to reveal warmth, but I should have put my gloves on. A cloud appeared from out of nowhere above her mountain of love. It shined with a full range of shadows and light. A dog barked once or twice, followed by a siren wail and some car horns honking. Yellow lovebirds chirped seconds after that in a sound cluster that began at 10:36.  Yellow light and I love her.  I’m in love with Anna in this.

Inner current began 2 minutes later, as trucks rolled in the traffic and an airplane sped overhead, making a flanged roar, amid the cutting circular saw. 2 orange lovebirds dived. The ambulance siren picked up again at 10:40, just as a crow cawed thrice and a machine bleeped. I wished it was warmer but light was so crisp and the air was so dry, and I love her. I was feeling calm and collected. Trees looked more like herbs and spices. It was still the beginning of fall changes. An amplified male voice made an announcement. It was not coming from the sports field, it was some kind of passing advertisement that I could not clearly hear. A blue jay screeched at 10:46. My cold felt a lot better. Breathing came with ease and coughing subsided. Current was present and mildly moved. I was monitoring myself and found I was in love. Yellow light and I love her.  I’m in love with Anna in this.

A good clear moment of quiet when all the cars in the traffic were absent. It is a good thing to look clearly and deeply within to see what we never see in our own psychology. Commitment to being honest with one’s self-observation allows for a deeper development. The more that you’re afraid to open up, the more that you close, but the more that you open up opens you up more to your heart’s system, and more to your mind’s thought than you ever would if you were using hard desire. Functioning on hardened desire is just one  small aspect, one little ratio. It is not the whole thing, and so you r brain will turn dumb only working in a small wormy region, almost as if you were a tumor.  Lovebirds chirped sweetly in the distance, communicating constantly. I looked up and suddenly there were more than 25 crows flying around like crazy in the south. They headed over the trees past the EMSB with its 6 tall columns. All the while they were frenetically cawing with a flight pattern that was none too clear.  Sirens wailed again at 11:02.  Quick flies zipped and the cool air was invigorating. Yellow light and I love her.  I’m in love with Anna in this.

My simple visit with Tristan this weekend really gave me a lift. 6 yellow lovebirds sped by and sweetly chirped at 11:06. It is hard to believe it was that number, but it’s true and I thought it was cute. A seagull landed on the roof ledge. Her dark eyes scanning with curiosity. She walked along the green ledge until she stood directly opposite me. I coughed but she completely ignored me. She looked at some different angles. She ate a bug and then took off. A young crow flew off, alone.  Orb of Sun slowly made me warm.  My airplane captain loves her pilot path. My love letter book loves her will of God message.  My bridge sign loves her tunnel road.  My wall map loves her gate door.  My train car loves her suitcase.  My dream cards loves her psychic reading.  My spiritual sun loves her star religion.  My comet direction loves her fortune telling hand pointing.  My river oar loves her stream compass.  My lightning conductor loves her singing thread guiding.  My wandering priest loves her leading dog.  My connecting ladder loves her tree of life.  My unknown teaching loves her alternative goals.  My station manager loves her communicating commitment.  My question intervention loves her intending answer.  My ambition advising loves her fulfilling teaching. My individuation guilt loves her serpent context.  My ambivalence remedy loves her music games. I love her black lunar bible verse from my Egyptian box “I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” –John 6:35  “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6  “I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” Revelation 21:6  “He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against the stone.” –Matthew 4:6  “Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.” –Jeremiah 6:16  “For the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.” Proverbs 2:6.  I love Anna Dirksen.
