Billie's Folly

BEING PRESENT In my last post, I mentioned that during periods of my life I recognize I was "creating the life more than living it."  It’s an unsettling thought which led me to some wondering and research.  I wonder, can I be  in an quiet, uneventful afternoon without my mind lifting  me out of my actual life?  

  Life can only be understood backwards  but it must be lived forward.   ~ Kirkegaard   Another birthday  ― time for reflection!   We all go through life stages, generally determined by our living situation during each period.  

I don't want the Seven Dwarves, pink flamingos or a parade of whirly-gigs, but I do like the occasional garden ornament.  The random animals throughout the garden might verge on tacky, but hopefully everything's spaced out and neutral enough to blend in with the landscape.  I'll take a walk around and point out a few.
