Hunting in the Grass

Having settled that objective reality is whatever most people vote for, and that subjective reality is whatever seems real at the moment, we can now move on to other things.

As I smile at my first sentence I wonder what the second sentence should be. There have been a number of distractions here recently that have kept Pegasus mooning in his stable. First a sick cat who is “miraculously” getting better thanks in part to Herculean struggles by Julia and me designed to send two pills and a squirt of liquid down Buffy’s throat rather than onto the tabletop, the floor, or Julia’s blouse. The daily romp of catching him would make a slapstick movie.

Then we had two human colds to get through (quickly, thank heaven), camcorder demise, still camera breakdown, three days of almost completely nonfunctioning Internet connection, and presently a failing home water heater.

I hesitate to touch any other appliance or get into the car.

The happy news is that the catarrh is gone, the Internet modem and router have been replaced, and a new water heater will arrive tomorrow. Not to mention the good news that after many cold days we are now up in the sunny 70’s. Young squirrels are racing around in circles, bright-breasted robins are pecking in the grass (this is just a stopover for them on a journey to I don’t know where), and the omnipresent azalea shrubs are coming into bloom.

I’ve found myself hesitant about a post for this blog because I don’t know where to go from here. I want PEGASUS come from my head and soul rather than from research projects, and I’ve used up a lot of internally stored subjects since I began FLIGHTS OF PEGASUS in mid-January. Fresh material isn’t as easy to bring to light as it once was. I feel that some really fascinating topic is about to come along, possibly something about prayer -- but it’s not quite here yet.

I can’t resist writing that like a robin, I am hunting for something in the grass during a journey to I don’t know where.

I’ll try to do better. Maybe some kind reader will provide a stimulating comment.
