Explanation of Rule Number 6

Two prime ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of state. Suddenly a man bursts in shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk.

Haiku ~ sort of

 
I’ll let the haiku speak for itself - Its been a magical morning.

Troubled sleep, early morning walk
Loons laughing at me
Rule Number 6*

morning dawn songbirds wake
loons cry - me cry

stirring

"Isn’t it beautiful?"
a loon, a lake, a dawn
yeah

The loons are [...]

I’m Back from My Retreat - Revisiting Some Trusted Old Friend

 
Well, three & a half days of being away from email, telephones, email, and news is a good thing. A cabin wallpapered with 3M flipchart paper, a comfy bed, a jacuzzi, and a fireplace. I wanted one more day.
Here is a new drawing for the LivingIntentionally Model. This [...]
