As-if Frame: Green Stick Bug

By Debra Basham, on July 27, 2024

The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world, with millions of books, films and video, audio recordings, photographs, newspapers, maps and manuscripts in its collections. The Library is the main research arm of the U.S. Congress and the home of the U.S. Copyright Office. According to the Library of Congress, “In the […]

Agitation and Imagination

By Debra Basham, on June 26, 2024

Agitation is interesting.

Instead of trying to make it go away, allow it to be fully present, so that you can watch and learn its nature clearly.

~ The DailyTejaniya

It is difficult to recall how long ago now I saw so clearly the futility of speaking about a situation that is […]

Lord, Help Us

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 […]

Anxious Feelings – Power of Presence

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 […]

From All Sides

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 […]

Hair Experiences

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, […]

The Guest House

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 […]

Trust Your Own Story

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 […]

I Am Made of You

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, […]

Snow Bird Sees Rare Bird

By Debra Basham, on February 12, 2024

It has possibly been the longest ever period between posts for the Yellow Brick Road…. and I cannot say what has kept my fingers off the keyboard, but this Snow Bird before doing anything else this morning has to write about having seen a rare bird.

The significance of this bird began many years […]
