Isn’t it nice when you feel that mutual admiration with another person–and they seem to feel it with you too?  I seem to be dealing with enjoying the state of satisfaction lately.  A new job is settled down to routine, wolves are fed and stopped howling at my door, commute is accepted.  And yet I find that when things settle down, or seem to go well, no drama, that I get restless.

I’m not irritated or discontent–yet.  But I am familiar with the restlessness and recognize that it is time to find another creative endeavor.  Hmmm, maybe cleaning out the basement would do it.  …..Naaaa.

I pray today to be more crystallizing grateful for the mutual admiration that I feel with those who nourish my spirit.  They ask about me, laugh at my jokes, and give me warm hugs.  If I stay centered in the here and now, I may feel that ever-present admiration from the Lady of all Love, Sweet One that dances in the dark when I sleep, wide-womb Ganesha that shields me beneath her chest, endlessly rooted ancient Tree that stands by me forever.  Now that’s mutual admiration.
