Feeling Rather Than Doing??

    So often I see people doing, and doing and doing. Turning in circles, and feeling nothing.
    Going through the motions, to where?
    The whole point of being here is to DO and FEEL!! or Feeling before doing? OR just being still and feel. Quiet and listen, stop doing, especially the stupid stuff. My stupid stuff and yours may be very different, which is cool, just don't waste your earthly visit. It is Earth Day, do something for your planet, before its gone.
   Husband of mine, and I were returning from Hilton Head this week, and all along Route 16 there were bags of trash to be picked up. I am talking hundreds of bags, that jailbirds had picked up, and pushed to the curb. I became crazy, " Bill (driving) are you looking at these bags!!?" " Jesus, what is wrong with people, how can anyone throw trash out the window, and lots of it.?" Well, you may know by now, Bill is not hysterical in nature, like his wife. "He said, at least the prison people have something to do." " Oh for the love of God, ( this may be me talking) they are walking in sunshine, for doing something wrong, let them stew and feel what they have done wrong.( I don't mean torture, just not TV, or Ipad!!)." " How about people not throwing trash all over the place! Look at these bags, they do not stop!" "OH MY GOD, look in front of us, the truck that has picked up all the bags, did not tie them down, and trash is flying all over the highway!" I may have had my voiced raised. " Get the car tag, I am going to call it in to somebody!" Mild mannered Clark said, " Who would you call, and I am getting around this truck?" and I just heaved a big sigh. I did not know who to call, or what to do, I was waving at the driver of the truck, trying to sign language trash flying out of the back of his vehicle, both of us going about 75 mph. I feel things, and want to do, you cant always, but I will write a letter, you know I will. AND I will blog, and try to reach even one person, don't litter. I do not understand stupid. Recycle, reuse, refuse to act like a fool. Respect your garbage pick up people, and be the answer to the problem, not the cause.
    That is a little Sunday rant of feelings.
    When I was little, my family would always say, I was too sensitive. Wore my heart on my sleeve, which I still think is a good thing. ( I may have held my breath and passed out! but that was another special Bonnie characteristic!!) ( short-lived with Homer around!!)
   Feel the air, the trees, your family, birds, the list is endless. You can do also, but not without feeling first. This is not rocket science, love the earth, the universe, yourself, all living things and ROCKS!!
   I think Rocks may be living also? they are just still!! Be still like a rock, and just BE!
        Two more little short tidbits, Thank You to Aunt Linda Baron, for the great hospitality and laughter. You and Uncle Mike are very special. Most of all thanks for the recipe for Romanoff Sauce, I made a double batch and licked my fingers and the spoon. It makes fruit the dessert that it should be.
    Thank you John Avlon, Editor of Daily Beast. You are my favorite news person of the moment, and trust me, they are all dropping like flies!! If I find a picture of you, I will place it on my laundry detergent bottle, just like I did of Ted Koppel, years ago. I put some of my favorite people in places, that I can see them everyday. The laundry room, is a place of honor. Thank you.
   Also, Thank you Purlotta, for wanting to design a bracelet that says, WWBD on it ( what would Bonnie DO) because you liked the birthday gifts I sent you. It was my pleasure and I like being a spirit animal to some.
        New course, on Coursera, The American South: It's Stories, Music, and Art. it is awesome, quick lessons, short course, and delicious. Professor out of Chapel Hill. ( like EdX better, but like to spread the love around)
        Also new book going, Varnia by The Cold Mountain Author.
      Keeping the brain and body, moving, growing and learning, feeling each second.
     Barbara Bush left us this week, and took her pearls. She left a good feeling, which is pretty much, the best thing you can leave behind.
