Take a moment to notice all the little things going on around you. The feasting animals, the falling leaves, the relationships ebbing & flowing. This is life. Every breath is a moment of change.

Hi Honey, sorry I'm late. I've been very caught up in redoing my character database for my fantasy (alternate history) world. Trying to simplify was too much work. Starting over isn't as frustrating, for I have learned a few new things.
Anyhoo... Today's reading. Giggle, shrug, well...
Humorously enough, during the meditation before the rune cast, I was looking outside the windows and revelling in the variety of nature... the squirrels and birds eating and thriving, while the leaves colored and drifted. (leaves don't fall. They drift, la, la, la. Sometimes they are blown. But I don't recall seeing a leaf fall. Branches fall, oh my aching foot, yes. Leaves, no.)
So whenever I had a few minutes today, I tried to remember to contemplate the outside. But as I was thinking about what to write, I came up with this...
The importance of those little changes is that they affect us, whether or not we manage to notice them. All the bits and pieces of change and drama and celebration going on out there, they cause that ripple effect that leaves us sitting in our kitchen wondering what the heck happened to our cheerful mood. We can't blame us or them or anyone else. We can just be aware.
Of course the reverse is true also. Everything we do ripples out to complete strangers in alternate universes. Should this paralyze us? Should we change what we're doing?
Not unless we want to. Happy or sad, good or bad, everything affects everything else. The necessary tool is simply to be aware of the fact. What can you take responsibility for? And what not? And, again and always, what makes you happy? For that is all (in my opinion) a person can take charge of.
I hope you had a great day! Except for one moment of "What the???!!!!" I did.
