A quick note as I was shopping just now at the grocery store, Publix for those you know it. They were playing music on the overhead speaker system, PA system. And a song came on by Cher. It was Believe. It’s an old song older and I immediately thought, “Do you believe in life after life or life after death”? If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
I’ve been working with Dr. Raymond Moody volunteering as one of his email correspondents. Life after Life was the book he wrote years ago. He brought to the awareness of the masses, something a phrase he coined, which was a near-death experience (NDE). His book Life After Life figures prominently in my life right now because I use it in a lot of my research to answer his correspondence when people write to him.
The song comes on and I’m thinking yeah, yeah, right now I am. I believe in life after love. I believe in life after life, life after death. I thought, how porous of me! And the longer I stood there pondering the word porous. Porous – poor us, right?
Rich or Poor?
But, on the way to the store I had been thinking, we’re ALL rich. What if we could just make out a mantra every day to say to ourselves, I am so rich in experience. I am so rich in love. I’m so rich because I have my relationship with my family, my friends, the clean air I’m breathing and access to a car, that kind of thing, right?
So I stood there in the checkout line contemplating that word porous. And I thought that would be the best. I had a Drew Barrymore moment I guess and I got all excited. I almost wanted to break out into dance, you know? Right there in a Publix grocery store!! Ha! I just saw myself as Drew Barrymore going–that’s it! That’s our podcast name. Porous – Poor us! I thought I like the word Infuse too. It sort of meant the same thing but it didn’t quite have the ring to it that porous has.
A sponge
As an empath. I believe that I’m porous as a sponge. .I’ve said it even in job interviews! I’m porous. I soak in a lot of information from a lot of different perspectives and subject matter and when I go to events, I love that because I bring in–just soak in information from all sides, all angles, all different cultures, races, creeds, religions, all of it!
Soak up from Omniscience
Of course, as my spirituality has matured into the omniscience that it has, where everything is omniscient, everything living is omniscient with life. So nature is omniscient. God is omniscient. You know, it’s all beating with us breathing with us being with us, feeding us information and information out. We’re just part of this network in this cycle. It’s all cyclical.
Yin and Yang
It’s all you know, growing and shrinking. We’re expanding and we’re shrinking at the same time. You know, the one I’ve talked about before many times in Yang, you take the yin and yang, you blow it up like a balloon or a ball and you squeeze one side. It appears to get smaller, but the other side just gets bigger. And the circle everything contained in that circle stays the same. It’s like my friend Nikki says, Balance is tricky because balance can be 50/50, 60/40 or 8020. If you imagine that yoke the yin and yang as I started to say yoga ball. While we don’t have to go that big, maybe we do you know, maybe the ball is the earth right? And so, metaphorically speaking, you squeeze one side the other pops out bigger, but eventually squeezes to release the tension. So now, things can be more in harmony and work closer to 50/50.
Right now our country seems like it’s the USA anyway, seems like we’re at this 50/50 point. And our Republican-Democrat, pro-anti-Trump, pro-anti-Biden administration, you know, that sort of these conversations, even if you just break it down into conversations about specific topics pro-choice, pro-life, pro-immigration, pro, no borders, you know, pro-guns, pro knives, I mean, you know, pick your poison people you know, evil lies in men’s hearts.
If people want to hurt somebody they’re gonna find a way to do it whether they have a gun or not. Though, yes I’ve heard the argument of course that a gun make it easier, and a sword can be pretty easy to–if it’s sharp enough and you know how to use it. If you know how to wield the sword, so to speak, but not to go off on a tangent. No spiral thoughts today. Just wanted to get that out there.
Connects to previous conversation about ‘Strong Enough’
[Verse 2] What am I supposed to do Sit around and wait for you? Well, I can’t do that And there’s no turning back I need time to move on I need love to feel strong ‘Cause I’ve had time to think it through And maybe I’m too good for you, oh
Am I strong enough? She thinks she’s strong enough to get through it. But she also seems to be questioning if a man is strong enough. I don’t know. How do you interpret that?
Porous – Poor us?
I wanted to share that kind of Aha and see what you think about us (Richard and I) doing a podcast. I don’t know. I mean, we may start it together. My husband and I just have a lot on our plate right now. So we’ll see how things go in the next couple of months. Please comment and share. I’d love to build a community here. If you want to and if this resonates with you Thank you so much.
Blessings, Blessings abound. And remember, We Are All Connected. Many blessings much love! Peace.

If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
Enough
I just saw a short amount of a movie that my husband had on. I had been in the other room working and when I walked through a bit of the dialogue caught my attention. What it amounted to was this idea of the law being close enough to right, like the law isn’t necessarily going to find the truth in a trial? So a verdict, whether it’s for the person or against the person, the perpetrator is only ever going to get close enough to the truth and that struck me because recently I’ve listened to Sheryl Crow’s song Strong Enough, and I guess the word enough to is somewhat triggering. We’ll say, I’m sick and tired—enough is enough, right? So I just had that word enough kind of stuck in my brain. And when I walked through the living room and heard that bit of dialogue about the law, just trying to get close enough. You know, I thought that rings true.
Hand stand strength
And so I told my husband I said, I want to see that movie. I want to but he was almost done with it. It was near the end, which is why I’m not going to tell you the name of it because I don’t want to give it away. But it had an older actor in it that I really liked too. I said, you know, maybe it wasn’t a movie I would have been drawn to for any other reason. But I said now that I’ve heard that bit of dialogue. I’m curious about it. So curious I think I want to go back and watch it. And I think he watched it without me because he didn’t think I’d be interested. This happens a lot in our household.
So this idea–does this intrigue you? I mean, it intrigues me that, like Sheryl Crow questioned would she ever find a man that would be strong enough to be able to handle her as a strong woman. No, she’s a very strong woman. She has an incredible work ethic she has if you’ve not seen it, there’s a documentary now out about Sheryl Crow and her life and of course since my husband and I are musicians (my husband more than me, but you know). I’ve sung all my life. I’ve been interested in music all my life, and certainly interested in helping him during the 20 years we’ve been together and known each other. So we often watch music documentaries.
Spiral thought: I love that song, Tough Enough.
Walls
When you’re a strong individual, and I’ve known many in my life, men and women. And I find it difficult to work for those types of people, because they are so driven. They’re typically an entrepreneur or business head, a chief among the workers. It’s difficult to work for those kinds of people.
So I got it immediately when Sheryl sang that song. Are you strong enough to be my man, even Stevie Nicks did a version with her because I can imagine Stevie Nicks is that kind of person as well? They are very driven and tend to be bipolar types too. They’re, very up–very high. They’re very low. Temperamental is another word I would use to describe those types of people. Judgmental and typically have such (strong boundaries), you don’t have to talk to them about drawing boundaries because they got walls. They don’t have boundaries. They have walls and they’re not going to let anyone infringe upon them. To the point of probably having issues with authority. I’ll just say it. And it’s probably why they’re like counterculture-ish, too.
Strong-willed
But anyway, so that again, I come back to the idea of enough, what is enough for you, you know, and greed comes into play here too. Like when you’re talking about money or investments, retirement strategies, and all of that. What is enough? I’ve never like put a dollar figure on what enough is for me.
I’ve been with men who are too strong for me, both ex-husbands, probably because the first one wasn’t driven enough but very strong-willed and controlling in the second one was bipolar and an addict and definitely controlling and definitely would fly off the handle if (to use an analogy often used in the recovery) the tea kettles on the wrong burner on the stove he would be upset about it and a huge fight would ensue. So I mean, he would just pick something to be upset about, and a huge fight would begin. Because of course, back then my mindset was always seeking the truth. I didn’t want any bullshit excuses or that kind of thing.
What’s your “enough”?
Boy, this one took a different direction than I had planned when I started talking about all this. Suffice to say I’m just curious what your “enough” is. If you were to say, I need more XYZ in my life; I need a spouse or a relationship, or I need a different spouse. Or, I’m so happy to be alone, but I don’t have enough XYZ. Right? I don’t have enough friends, or enough good friends solid, true friends. Friends that won’t spaz out on you. If you say no to an event that’s another story. And what is enough for your retirement your nest egg, what’s enough income for where you work right now? Are you satisfied with that?
Who’s strong-willed in your circle?
Do you have strong personality types in your circle of influence? And or are you the strong one? And do you tend to push people away because they don’t measure up to your ideals of work ethic or honesty or punctual attendance or attending or calling you enough? That kind of thing? Right? So just think about that and let me know in the comments. I’m always really glad to hear from those of you who take the time to read my blog articles, especially if you do read the whole thing.
Please comment
I know that I tend to ramble, which is where the spiral comes from, the spiral thoughts, and so forth. Tangents. I thought that I would just throw out some ideas and see if this might garner some conversation and some chat among us. And of course, always feel free to send me a comment. I have to approve all comments first (or they will not display under the post). Unless I’ve already approved you in the past in which case all your comments will come through as approved. But if you do want to send me something that you don’t want made public just let me know when you comment at the beginning or end of your comment, say, you know, confidence or keep this private or please delete after Burn After Reading or something like that right? And I’ll delete it if you would like to just let me know in private, of course, you can still comment, and then I won’t show your comment on the website. Okay, fair enough.
Thank you and blessings to you and many in all ways. Peace tranquility, and serenity. Serenity now. Yes, Serenity now. OM
