A Deeper Sense

-

 When I'm deep in my Spirituality I have a sense of everything going on around me.  It's more about what I feel as opposed to what I think.  I am to receive my Carter Hall later today and can't wait to try it.  Tobacco has a tendency to keep me settled down both about my Spirituality and about life itself.  My pipes serve a Divine purpose although most wouldn't think so, but tobacco adds to my Spirituality.

It makes me more reflective and I focus on my feelings when I smoke a pipe.  I can't say how it does this, but it is a tool used to connect me to Spirit Guides.  And it's more about feelings than thoughts.  I simply feel connected to the Divine with a pipe.  Of this weren't true I might not have a reason to smoke a pipe.  My tobacco choices are a big part of it.  

I wish I could say how or why, but it's more about feeling connected.  I think more about my feelings when I'm smoking a pipe.  I could go days without a pipe and have.  But it wasn't about quitting tobacco, but more about convenience.  A pipe isn't addictive like cigarettes or even cigars.  A pipe is a tool.  Cigarettes and cigars can be habits, but for me a pipe is a tool.  

It's a simple tool.  Nothing complex about a pipe.  We're sending a pipe out this week to get it fixed.  It's my "haunted" Gettysburg pipe.and I will have that back in a few weeks!  I thought it might be too expensive to fix, but Smoking Pipes recommended a place in Idaho they send their customers and after a few email exchanges I arranged to ship it there.  So, maybe by Christmas it will be like a new pipe!  

The fact is that maybe I need to smoke my pipe less, but if I worried it was a health hazard maybe I would.  And it's possible we could live in a place where smoking is not allowed.  But I'll cross that bridge when and if we get there.  Meanwhile I consider my pipe a tool for my Spirituality.  Today it is my Peterson Irish Harp with some of my Special Blend and my coffee this morning is Manatee.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you,

Dave

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
