Instead of letting my hair and beard grow rampant for 3 months like the last time I was here I thought that this time it would be a good idea to have one of the sisters shear me.
So I asked Aileen to do the deed and thankfully, she happily obliged. I shared with her that I was thinking about an inch thick line from the back of my neck to my widow’s peak and that I would finish the line down through my mustache and beard. Zip, zip, zip, I envisioned it done in 5. Haha, hilarious! I’m crackin up at the thought of it. This however wasn’t to be the case as Aileen had a design of her own in mind. The pic of her awesome job shows the end result of what took a half hour. As a bonus I experienced an opportunity to let go of having it done my way and in my timing. I’m pretty happy about the outcome I hafta say 🙂

For the second installment a week or so later, we came up with the idea of cutting in a tree design. Then, in the midst of it all she tells me she’s gonna make it a christmas tree with lights n everything and I had to draw the line. I mean, that’s just weird!

This one stayed for a coupla days and then Hannah offered to scribe in a fish. She did and it looks like a shark cuz apparently there wasn’t enough hair to do a steelhead. If you wanna see a pic of it then click this link to her site, FLYFISHERGIRL.COM. Next, we’re gonna wait a coupla weeks for my hair to grow back and do it up in to a steelhead. I’m giddy to see what she comes up with. She says she’s gonna post it on her website and potentially run a contest. The winner will have the best fish on his or her head and will receive a prize!

There’s something about my hair that I used to be attached to but I couldn’t say ezactly what. Acourse, like us all, during my life I’ve had multiple opportunities to experience attachment and one of the first times I realized I had an issue was when I felt the pang of having to give up a long used and well beloved toothbrush. A toothbrush! Holy man, at that point I seriously considered the fact that I might benefit by getting some therapy. Time actually won out as I didn’t feel the cost to reward ratio of hiring a therapist. So, I reluctantly let go of my toothbrush and set upon a path where things like letting go of hair that grows back anyway, now seems like an elementary exercise. Everything is temporary; change being the only constant.
As I see it for me, the trick now is to apply this lessoning to all attachments in my life and in this moment I am reminded of more than a few people who suggest that food, air and water are all attachments we will all eventually let go. For now I’ll start with the obvious ones like beer, coffee and cigarettes… along with a whole buncha other things… like sex… and chocolate. I have noticed that if the object of my attachment ain’t about then I don’t have to go lookin for it like I used to was. I call this a pseudo-addiction only cuz it differs in the jonesing department. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the thing about life is that it is all about giving us opportunities to look at what ain’t workin for us, so that we might reconsider.
I think I even have the answer where sex is concerned and sisters n brothers, it’s called abstinence or celibacy (post upcoming). I ain’t 100% clear on that tho… whatever, I’m on it and in the final analysis: Everything as it is in the Universe’s own timing 🙂 My experience has been that as long as I stay on the path of making me a better me, then that which ain’t compatible with my intention just falls by the wayside – no efforting, no trying, no using of will power – just seek me first the kingdom of Awesomeness within and all that I desire will transpire.
That’s me for this post. LovenPeace to us all 🙂
