Beloved Kavisho (I love saying that!),
I have a feeling that things ARE speeding up. And fast. I hope I can keep up.
Love,
Sadhvi

Dear Sadhvi, I was so glad to read your
comments and feel so in tune with you. Thanks!
It is like a whirlwind taking more and more
speed and momentum….
I have been longing for a slow down, me the dreamer!!
Yet just at the center of the cyclone, nothing happens, but I got to be right here, in Presence so to speak… a split second away and the whirlwind takes hold of me….

I need a lot of time alone… and in nature…

And yes.. I am overwhelmed and have a hard time
to feel trusting, happy, contented and positive.

Feels good to share this.

Hi Janice,
Oh, just so you know, it might not be as easy to drop out of FaceBook… or should I say, “delete your profile”. I tried it, and kept getting emails hounding me to “rejoin”. Even trying to make me feel guilty by using “friend on FaceBook”, saying that they “missed” me.
Let me know how it goes.
Good Luck!
Sincerely,
Sadhvi

Thank you for this great and timely post. Things are moving way too fast. And if you aren’t overwhelmed, you may not be paying attention. I’m playing along with most of the progress–have even tried Facebook, but may drop out and stop worrying about people not commenting on my status updates.

Thank you Sadhvi!
I am still in the “Stone Age” of all this so called progress on communication – my computer system is still dial up, so I can’t even watch YouTubes (much too slow). Do I care?- not really! Too much stuff out there (most of which is not of any interest to me at all) but not enough real commuicating out there. Seems a lot of people have lost the art of concentrating, listening and focusing. I guess that’s why they call them bytes- I prefer the whole meal!
I still pick up the phone (yeah I don’t have a cell phone either) most of the time to talk with friends, but I do use email and surf the internet. I also still send paper birthday and other holiday cards to friends and family.
I can’t even imagine wanting to read a book on the computer. I still love sittng in my comfy chair with my morning coffee or sitting in bed snuggle up under the down comforter at night and reading. Well I may be a dying breed but I’m fine with it.
Time spent in the woods is more important than time spent Facebooking, Twittering, I phonong Apping or whatever comes next!
Just be happy and healthy.
Marcia

hi tosh,
i am so glad that you got a chuckle out of the post. i picked up a friend of mine last night and the minute she got in the car, she was telling me that i had to slow down! that i had to stop! i believe she was genuinely concerned about my well-being after reading the post. i felt like i had dipped my legs up to the knees in the cool stream of “everything fast and furious” after reading your comment. you are, as always, the one that can make me feel more content and relaxed…

hi hilarie,
yes, that was the start of the new age of feeling overwhelmed for me too. i think it was back in 1990 and i had just come to the states for a visit. all i wanted was my regular crest toothpaste, and i spent a long time trying to find it. like too long. nowadays, i don’t go shopping much. there are just too many things to buy and too many choices!

love this post! thanks, I guess it’s just a more complicated version of standing in the grocery store aisles with a gazillion choices for cereal…. I just go the the few that work for me and leave it at that.
Love to you, and yes I do like that HARK add there on the left!

You’re too funny, dear friend! I just received an email alert on my phone that my favorite communicator has just posted a new blog post. (If I had missed the email alert, no fear, I would’ve picked it up via your RSS feed.) I dropped everything to read it. Your post shares a great YouTube video. I’m able to interact with you instantly via comments. This is wonderful! I love hearing from you! Yes, it’s all overwhelming. It’s going to get even more so. The trick is to treat it like a river. You can never experience the entire river, but you can nourish your soul by dipping your feet into its refreshing coolness once in awhile. And then you just let the river flow on, as it would anyway. Lots of love to you!

Good Morning ol’ pal!

You are soooooo right on! You expressed EXACTLY what I have been saying! I’ll call you, the old fashioned way later. For now, thanks for expressing my sentiments. I posted it on my facebook site (if I did it correctly, that is).
