Thankfulness, Awesome power of Nature

I posted our sadness the day after we discovered that the morning doves, nesting in our hanging bougainvillea, on the back patio, had left the nest all night during a freeze. I had moved the basket with bird sitting inside to a hook closer to the windows, to keep the flower and the bird warmer.

Well, when in the middle of the night, we discovered there was no bird on the nest we went to bed very sad - we just really knew these eggs were now dead from the cold.

Susan moved the basket back out and the bird resumed sitting on the eggs. We 'knew' they were dead but she didn't - even more sadness...

Well here's the picture of the power of nature... You can see each of the head on either side of the mother.

Well here there are -really amazing us that they are back, in spite of me moving their nest. For more great stories of nature see here...in the middle section called 'fun and goodies'

Does anybody really care?...

so goes the song, so goes the Presidency.
He' s in we did it horay... so let him work now that's why we worked to get him elected right?
hope not. He can't do it alone and neither can congress.
why?

simple a car needs a driver, navigator too; that is YOU ! all of us.
the loudest squeeks will be heard, go silent and guess who's there?
The machinery is place in Washington - has been for centuries - for the rich and the big interest groups to get what they want passed. See the legally blond 2 or was it 3 - they were great -weren't they!

If we want to see change rather than keep forking it over at the pump, grocery store and everywhere we need to cut dependance on foreign oil and energy...

We need to ad it to our personal targets or goals and plans to do something daily or weekly or what ever. It takes FOCUS and the machinery in place in DC has that focus. They also have the experiece and no how to push their ajendas - just look at the padding on these bail out bills - man just send me about 5 million - no one will even miss it... I won't mind a 1/2 million bonus as a cap on my radio show giving it to me annually -would you?

If we want to see change we have to be the change. you in?

From the desk of T. Boone Pickens
Boone here.
I promised to tell you, every month, whether or not we are making progress on cutting down on imported oil.
In January, I reported to you that in December we had imported just under 380 million barrels of oil at a cost of $19.3 billion.
Today I am reporting on the January imports In January, according to the Department of Energy, we imported ­­­­­­­­­­­­­408.7 million barrels which cost the United States ­­about $17 billion, so the transfer of wealth from America to foreign governments is continuing.
That’s an increase of about 7 percent over December’s imports. But, here’s the thing: Congress is in the final stages of putting together a stimulus package to send to the President.
As a member of the New Energy Army I am counting on you to stand with me. I need you to visit www.PickensPlan.com/action today to contact your U.S. Senators about the stimulus package. Let’s make certain they understand how important the Pickens Plan is to America’s future.

OM, Burrrrrrrrerrrr....

meditate on the cold?
OMG why?
some of you like it that way...
riding up a ski lift freezing your legs off... :-)

my hat if off to you in the NE who were without power for so many days...
it is cold up there!

I drove to work this morning, it was 40 deg. on my Camry dash
and I could put my hands on the steering wheel w/o gloves..

Big deal -right?
When I had to help build a log cabin in the Laurentian woods one winter,
we were swinging axes at 32 degrees with our shirts off.
It was a lot warmer 72 deg actually warmer than a few days before at
40 below 0 Fahrenheit; where the manual transmission is locked in place by frozen crankcase oil...
(I ran back inside the kitchen...mumbling about the Yogis who live in the Himalayas with only underwear on in the winter... hot tea was good - going to town, had to wait)

But it was 80 deg the day before; living Santa Fe where 75 is hot summer day... I hated driving to Dallas...
but we get used to 90's even 100's
& I tell you when the steering wheel is first 40 deg
I need gloves...

So it was interesting to note that I didn't today...

There was a navy seal trainer on a TV show sitting in an ice water tank.
OOPPSS, back up - first under stop watch, he ran a short obstacle course, and had to fire a pistol at one of 3 targets - 1 of was the 'enemy'. He did great...

then he was sat in a pool of ice water; ice added every 20 minutes or so...
most men would pass out after a short time...
he stayed in there for 60 minutes!

Then scored the same on the obstacle course with in just seconds of his first baseline time trials....

His core body temp never dropped below 95...

Through meditation, and practiced conditioning in Navy Seal training in the cold ocean, he was able to control the automatic muscle shaking that happens to the rest of us to keep us warm...
This is what dolphins can do is to regulate their use of oxygen, and control body temp in vital organs, to dive deeply.

The movie 'Blue' is about deep free divers who can do the same...

Meditation is powerful.
your companion self is awesome...

You have the power !
how will you use it?

Next time you are cold or your electricity is out - get out of there
get to a warm place now.....

after that ~ if you like ~ and are cold ... relax and imagine your inner heater coming on inside you...

or go train as a Navy Seal.....

Happy New Year...unleash your inner power...
