By Debra Basham, on May 26, 2024 Themes seem to emerge into awareness while I am doing things other than looking for themes. Like peeling potatoes for potato salad for today’s Memorial Day meal to be shared with my sister, Janis, and my brother-in-love, Larry. Or while I was out riding my bike and meeting a breed of dog that looks a […]
By Debra Basham, on May 12, 2024 I was awake a few times during the night. My friend is in the hospital. She just got home from Florida on Tuesday about dinner time and when I took “Welcome Home” cookies to her about noon on Wednesday, it was obvious she was not in tip-top-shape. This friend had MAJOR back surgery while in […]
By Debra Basham, on May 2, 2024 I have been working with a habitual habit energy. I’ve been at that place in the process where I could see clearly it was habit energy but I was not yet able to see what was driving it. You cannot see it until you can see it, and you cannot release it until you can […]
By Debra Basham, on April 17, 2024 I almost did not go for an out-of-doors bike ride today because of a threat of rain and a fairly stiff wind, but the newborn leaves making their debut on the trees outside my window moved me. About 7 miles in, and very near home, the three walkers looked a rather odd trio from behind, […]
By Debra Basham, on March 21, 2024 Today is March 21 and I have absolutely no “excuse” for not having posted on Yellow Brick Road since February 26. Yes, we have had house guests off and on for the past six weeks. Yes, I have been riding up to 20 miles per day on my bike this year rather than the normal […]
By Debra Basham, on February 26, 2024 Early Saturday morning I woke up dreaming. I knew the symbols were significant so by the light of the digital watch I keep on the nightstand I wrote in my journal:
Dream
Am sliding head-first down a piece of card stock to show a friend she can “trust your own story/writing….”
My scribbled note […]
By Debra Basham, on February 22, 2024 It is this disinterested but completely allowing contemplation of the body in the world that the body loses its ‘me-ness’ and the world loses its ‘not-me-ness.’ In this way bodily sensations no longer cry out ‘I am separate, I am exclusively you” and perceptions of the world no longer cry out, ‘I am separate, […]
By Debra Basham, on January 16, 2024 To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. ~ Will Durant
From the book In God’s Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery: “The real root of our struggle to speak well of others is the pain we suffer because of our low self-esteem, and diminishing another person’s worth, unfortunately, gives […]
By Debra Basham, on January 1, 2024 And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings. ~ Meister Eckhart
Today is the first day of 2024.
Yesterday afternoon I went into a different area on my bike ride. I was only lost between 8.88 miles and 12.22 miles….
Suddenly I knew I had gotten […]
By Debra Basham, on December 23, 2023 Light rain was tap dancing on the metal roof of the lanai as I sat in the darkness waiting for the sun to make its debut thinking about a dear friend of mine whose brother-in-love is going to be having lung cancer surgery soon. She has been a champion of ours for decades, having thrived […]
