intentions, questions and confusion....

i'm always three steps behind....
for a month now i've been wanting to figure
out where i'm going this year with bone sighs.

i'm finally just now giving that the thought
i've been wanting to.

and i haven't a clue.

but.....something kept ringing thru my head
this morning on my walk.....

'what can i do to help?'

that just kept runnin' on thru the brain.

i thought of intentions.

when i first heard of the concept of making an
intention, it was years ago. and several different
people were getting my attention and saying straight
at my face, 'terri, you need to make an intention.'

i kept thinking 'yeah, yeah. i gotta do that.
and i'm not exactly sure what that is. but it sure
sounds like i gotta do that. i need to look that up
and read about it....'

i never did read about it. what i ended up doin'
was stumblin' into making one without even knowing
enough to officially call it an 'intention.'

what i clearly remember is when i decided on what
i wanted for that year, i remember being filled
with a knowing that it would happen.

i think that's the secret key part of an intention.
altho, i'm not really sure as i never DID read about
them!

but that knowing part......that's the key in life,
isn't it?

so.

that's runnin' thru my head along with 'what can i
do to help?'

and i'm thinking......terri! you can't do a question
and an intention together!

can you????

i don't know.

after i scolded myself, i got to thinking......

it could be a really cool combination.

the intention to help and knowing that i will.
the openness of not knowing how.
that seemed like an okay thing.

don't know.
it's all just hittin' me now.

gonna be thinking on this for a bit now......

just seems like such a good question:
'what can i do to help?'

Ter,
It seems to me that you do a lot to help many people - some you know, others will remain strangers. Your art, your blog, your sons, your tender heart, they all fall under the category of helping don't they?
