A HUG AND A TEAR

It didn't surprise me to hear, “Mom?” out there in the moonlight. I had felt Sam's approach ever since coming up from the notebook Sari had handed me.

“What's going on, my man?” I asked, stock response to my little boy, all grown up.

“Well, Running Man and I have remembered a whole lot, and they are planning on taking off here in a little bit,” he paused and drew a line in the ancient red dirt with his sneaker.

“Well, I sure hope they don't charge a lot for a ticket. Did you bring any cash?” I asked

Sam looked up from his idle drawing to look at my face. I was smiling, as I handed him the notebook. He took it into his hands, chuckling, reset just as quickly as always. He opened the notebook.

Twenty minutes later, Sam joined Sari and I on our rock. Sari was still serenely floating. My ass was cold and sore, bony as it was. “Mom,” Sam said, “I just can't believe it. It's a dream come true, Mom.”

WHEN? WHERE?

We looked at each other, shock and awe reflecting from the other.

“I just can't believe,” Lily sighed, “how deep we are into something so multidimensional. It's sort of taking my breath away, really.”

“I am curious,” I asked, hoping not to offend, “how one goes about packing for a vacation like this.”

What a vacation we had already had! Both in our flannels just minutes after Sabrina and Eddie took off, we decided to get to sleep by coming up with the perfect vacation scenarios. We'd each do one we'd always imagined taking alone, and then we'd imagine one taken together, and we did that for, gosh, maybe eight rounds.

Remember, we are each travelers, by soul, so it was really hard to stop, actually. The best vacations we had ever dreamed up were the ones we would have gone on whether we were alone or with someone, so those were the ones we decided, in the end, to concentrate on.

It was hard to narrow down the field. Here is our attempt to solidify a dream vacation.

TAKE A TRIP WITH ME

First let’s go to your “tool” box and find out what you have there for tools to use for said purpose. Ah, there’s a prayer, meditation, exercise, knowledge, information, hammer, pliers, chainsaw, ah here we are, found a good one!

“Attention,” yours. Let’s use this one due to the fact that it is the most powerful one that exist in your tool box.

Yes, the most powerful “tool” that you have to create your reality is your attention. Use it wisely and with consciousness, that will bring to you awareness. Know when you are in use of this important tool. Know what it is being used on and for. Know that you can rest the tool when you wish. Keep close in mind that when this tool is not on leave, being rested, that what ever it is focused on is headed your way.

If you were using a chainsaw cutting a large tree down, you would certainly keep you eyes on it to know which way it will fall, right? Speaking of this all powerful tool, your attention, what is it on just NOW? Is it on these words, the concepts/meanings within them, or is it wondering, drifting from on event to the other in your past, present or future? Being in the NOW is the power behind this power.

When you focus this power on The Power that keeps your body at about 98 degrees, and life in it from mostly automatic breathing of the air all around you and making your heart beat perfectly for an entire life-span, then That same Energy will return the focus with much, much more power and energy than what you are giving it.
