AD:  Sounds almost irresistible.  What a visual!

Morning, Alicen; writing about spirituality reinforces the best in my spirit.

That will be part of my next topic, in fact.

PS:  Where you live, the Full Moon will indeed be October 4, at about 1 o'clock in the morning.

AD:  Night before last, the bedroom was as though the lights were on.  It was so bright!  However, we've had rain and clouds the last couple of days.  The sun's out now, so there's hope.  We have a very good view of the moon "rising" from the south side of our house, which has lots of window space.  That is, we have a panoramic view from the south side and can see the moon "rising" in the E-SE behind the branches of some trees.  Beautiful!  I've always loved it. 

I remember being two and three years old and believing that I could see the moon through the walls.

Being older now and looking back on it, it was most probably because I usually knew where the moon would be if I could see it, and with the visualization powers of a child yet unconstrained by later development, that visualization could make it seem real.

AD:  Yes, education drains out so much of the creativity in children (and adults, too, if they're not careful).  As a small child I had an imaginary friend who was as real to me as any "real" person would have been.  Not only was she real, but she approved of everything I did!  I was okay in her book.  What a friend!  She didn't have a name, nor did she need one.  She was just "there." 

I don't know where she went. 

And I thought a full moon in October was bats and werewolves..... : ) 

ALICEN: your 'imaginary friend' is your spirit guide :-)  She didn't 'go' anywhere she is still there you just have to call her back.  Mine is Mimi and she has been my friend since I was 2.  Most people are told so much that there are no such things that soon that is what they believe and your 'friends' seem to disappear. I was lucky enough to have had a mom who actually encouraged me in that regard.

Hi Witters!  Love ya.  :)

Spam code MTZUI:  It could be the next generation economy car.

AD:  I'm going to see if she's still around.  We need all the applause and approbation we can get!  I do, anyway.

ALICEN: sit quietly and talk to her - she will eventually come to 'see' you. my spirit guide and my angels have protected me for years. many think it is 'bunk' - I know it is not. 

Well, WP, I don't think I have a thing to lose.  Especially after seeing Sam's last Weedpatch Gazette.  Thanks, kiddo.  (new name?)

I never had an imaginary friend.  I do talk to myself all the time though...when your companions are dogs it's easier to say you're talking to them.  The bad thing is when I get sharp with myself the dog goes to his corner.  He hasn't figured out just who I'm ticked off at so discretion is the better part of valor in his eyes.

Nancy, how funny! 

While I had an imaginary friend, I never actually talked to her.  I never needed to.  She was just there, she knew me, she knew what I was thinking, and, above all other things, she accepted me just as I was.  I needed no correction.  What better friend than one like that???  Besides, if I had begun talking to her, my mother would have known all my secrets!

I have GOT to find that girl. 

As to your dog, it accepts you just as you are, right?  Just don't start getting sharp with yourself.  We can't have you telling yourself off, now.  (There are so many on this site who will do it for me, I know THAT for a fact!)

My mom set a place setting at meals for my 'friend'  :-)  'friend' and I had back yard tea parties too :-)

ALICEN: names other people call me are not repeatable here!!!!!  I usually just thank them for recognizing my special talents!!!!  :-) 

How about WRPR? aka witter pitters!

WP:  Oh, I don't know.  Wit-Pit?  WTR-PTR?  WRPR just isn't glamorous enough. I think I like the first one first.  Wit-Pit.  It's so descriptive, too!  Don't you think so?
