"There's another fine mess you got me into!" Hardy said to Laurel. Too many Bright Ideas are a symptom of something. Dping too much hurts my hand.

When I was a kid,
one of my favorite TV times was watching
Laurel and Hardy.

"That's another fine mess you got me into!"
was one of Oliver Hardy's often repeated lines
when Laurel's bright idea backfired.

Yesterday, at the end of the day
down at the Craft Fair at City Farmers' Nursery,
Bill had carried my last pot out to the EG Mobile for me.

"Well, how did the day go for you?"
he asked.

I told him I got some good ideas.

He said that he had a drawer of bright ideas,
but he learned a long time ago that if he wanted to
get over the hump with anything, he had to take
One Idea and do something with it.

This is a perpetual problem for me.
Too many Bright Ideas.

Then, I attempt to bring them into 3D where
each idea I have has 1000 details and asks
1000 hours of time to really bring it to the stage of
harvest.

It does not help that I have a ryrant of an inner
Father Archetype inside, a Ruler who has no sense of
body, and very little sense of living in this world.

My inner Father Archeytpe is more at home in
some other world, but lives in a Big Mess down here,
a Utter Big Physical Mess.

I had so many successes this last Spring,
I thought I had built up the strength to take on
a Herculean Mess in our basement here at the
Enchanted Garden Intentional Community.

I put my leadership into cleaning up the basement.

I called this the Great Earth Clean Up.

We had meetings.

More than 1/3 to 1/2 of the basement was cleared.

Much of one of my housemates stuff when into another
pile behind the garage. The mold problem in the parts
where I worked were taken down, not they are back up.

I got a lot of extra storage space down there.
Under my bed is still pretty clear. I can still
feel some of the difference, but with working on the
Pacific Symposium in about ten days--Yikes!!
the Laundry is piling up, and there are some
loose papers.

I got a lot from participating in this Craft Fair yesterday.

It helped me layout some of my things
that I will have at the Pacific Symposium Altar.

I was surprised to see how many pieces of the Job's Tear's
project are together.

IT helped to settle into doing Plant Your Dream with one couple,
and then with a few others. It was good to remember the steps.

The preparation also left me in a state of shock and disbelief,
common feelings.

I have been working intensely all week.

My hands hurt for the last ten weeks.
My left hand feels like arthritis.
I am not sure how much of this is due to the new keyboard
on this Imac, or foods I am eating.

It is powerful to have these pains.

They are creeping into my consciousness.

My life is on this computer.
My hand are needed to do this life.

Dark Clouds overhead:
What kind of lifestyle shift is needed?

One way or another a person as to come to terms
with their habits and behaviors and make changes.

What was the shock Friday?

I discovered masses of beautiful artwork in the basement.
I found framed pieces that were made for the Feng Shui Conference 05,
hundreds of dollars worth. I do not believe I have ever really sold
a framed piece of photo art.

I set some up yesterday, about ten pieces that I pulled from the basement.

A few comments.
No sales.

Maybe the people who buy this kind of art do not come to Craft Fairs
at a Garden Nursery. Maybe I am not asking the right questions of myself
or spirit.

Maybe in La Jolla or at art galleries people buy art.
I do not know.

Do I really have the time or energy to find out?
Not really.

Then, I started to think in terms of $$$ signs
Friday night, but more than that, my usual Impulse
to Connect and want to have a Powerful and Positive Experience
sharing something I have created.

The inventory on the Seven Love Cures,
Words that Men Need to Know and Women Want to Hear was
Immense. I organized it and brought it down.

I also set up the Job's Tear's Signage.

Meanwhile, the slide show I was working on this week,
my main energy---

[Ouch! Left hand starting to hurt! ]

The Slide Show for Bill Tall, owner of City Farmers Nursery
was running all day in a prime location by his cash register.

I set up a few of my business cards.

Doing too much, I did not check my camera.
There was no Card in it to record photos.

I did did not have my camera for the Pumpkin contest,
so I used Bill's.

Then I went home and got my camera.

I wanted to record the looks of my space.

I Record what I am doing with my Camera, the people I meet.
The projects that excite me.

The projects are generally add ons.

I love new things. I seldom complete or put energy
into what I am may be a priority.

Doing conferences helps me.
It forces me to Focus, or fall on my butt.

The last month, I have been waking with lots of
fears that I could not do this Symposium.

I had a difficult time committing.

I do not like taking things from others
and not giving them Value.

The Bright Ideas I have are like Foreplay.
I love them. They are so exciting.

I am filled with Bright Ideas this morning.

I better think twice before committing my energy.
I better spend some time today cleaning up from yesterday.

There are only so many days before Show Time.
