Monkey business


My Path, process and processing, and other things a bit more personal in nature.

Peacock & Feathers

… A quick rambling from a busy Monkey, concerning a message sent in a dream and recently revisited in physical reality… PEACOCK, recent experience in physical reality: A beautiful bird, seen in the wild… one confident in itself enough not to be shy or threatened by humans approaching. It jumped down from it’s low perch…


Greetings

Ah… Hello and greetings, everyone! It is a bit odd to be writing after such a break from the blog-o-sphere, but Spirit has mandated a return, so here we are once more. I have already delayed far too long. So what happened that the Monkey disappeared, and so suddenly? Well, I got caught up in…


Feathers!

Feathers! Big, lush, luminescent iridescent feathers! Peacock feathers to be precise… and with the turquoise and violet and brilliant emerald. Lush tones evoking memories and reminders of all that is, all that was and all that will be. Snatched from the edge of forgetfulness on the ending edge of a dream, so fractured has my…


Out of the Habit

Ok, I admit it – I’m out of the habit of sitting at the computer, writing down my thoughts and impressions on the greater reality of the physical world… There seems too many things to do in the course of a day lately and simply not enough time to decompress enough from the physical aspects…

My creativity has been taking a visual twist lately, and so posting the newest monkey sketch of a stuffed toy seemed appropriate… Enjoy! Namaste. Image copyright 2007, One Mystical Monkey. All rights reserved. Please do not take, alter or use this image without prior written consent. Thank you.


monkeyishness

Restless, Unsettled, Anxious and bored. Looking this way and that way for some escape from the ordinary and mundane. Monkey mind constantly chattering nonsense. Monkey mind begets monkey actions begets monkey decisions and monkey emotions. Hoping for external solutions, and searching for alternatives, Escape is not an option. Reality is what we make it. Whether…


shades of a dream

What has become an occasional recurring dream, this time it appeared with a new twist. Instead of confusion and indecision, although a bit of that remained, the message on this newer version of the dream was clear: Collect and sort through old and as yet unseen notes and papers, then close the door to those…


What’s in a Name?

The innate human quest for meaning and the drive to define ourselves on this plane can be a powerful thing. Sometimes meaning in one’s life can appear in the strangest places or at the strangest times. Other times, it is provided by the culture in which one lives or by the belief-systems to which we…


Observational Twists

“Man’s mind once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimension.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes After spending so much time delving into and evaluating the Inner world, I’m suddenly drawn to looking at the Outer one once more. This shift in attention is partly due to the changes being wrought in the physical…


Questions and Answers

It seems once more I’m in a period of (new) growth and transition… recently (or is that ‘currently’?) mired in the physical, it’s been difficult to find the time to meditate or to blog or, on occasion, even sleep. But being always on the move has provided an opportunity to experience the physical once more…
