Cranky old man.

[Native spirit]

Lockdown here has bought a lot of people out of their shell, even the older generations took part,
We did a scarecrow hunt, most people made a scarecrow put them in their yard.
when people young and old passed and saw them it made them smile. it bought people together,
we are hoping for snow this winter so we will be building the best snowman
its something that everyone can do.


Namaste

Bring on the cranky old men I say....they're brilliant....it gives all the wives something else to moan about LOL...

Just smile and wave, smile and wave. It's ok to be goofy sometimes, make yourself laugh and those around you. Let the old grey elephant skin soften with the inner child in you.

Then you will never be a cranky old man, you'll be a recycled child. And the kids love those.

What if we were young again
By Crystal Hope

"What if we were young again
and feel the mud between our toes?
What if we flew a rainbow kite,
and see where it goes.

What if we were young again,
and we danced in the rain?
What if we pretend we were
a bird, a rocket, an airplane.

What if we were young again
and ate melted ice cream in the sun?
Why don't we try to be young again,
and actually have fun."

this is so funny. The cranky old man, is the inner child. No one understands the cranky old man. That is why they seem cranky. But when you are being your inner child, the cranky old man will become so RELIEVED that finally they can be their own inner child around you.
also the death experience is sacred. It is not difficult for the dying person. The difficulty only comes when people enter the divine sacred sanctuary of a dying person, with all these misunderstandings about death. Then they feel like their dying process is being interrupted by someone who has absolute no freaking clue about how divine the process of dying is. And how wonderful. And it is NOT THEIR JOB to explain to you how beautiful it is to be a dying old man. It is one of the most sacred experiences in all of the universe. And any person who is in the process of dying. Ofcourse there are endless variations of dying. Including meditation and sleep which are closely related to that process of dying / releasing resistance to the true life force that is of what you truely call VITALITY and Innocence and purity and youthfulness.

How should I know? What are you asking me for? I am tired of you young whipper snappers whimpering around her whining about you bumps and bruises. Why when I was a kid both my inner and outer child had to walk to school and back through 3 feet of snow, uphill both ways. Now get out of my sight and the next time I see your face it better damn well have a smile on it! And don't you dare track mud all over my floor either!

Damn kids these days!

Live in the moment and don't think the bruises and bumps are bad karma from a past Life, wear them like a badge of honour.



Works for me.

Wear red and yellow socks.

Wear your yellow underwear every once in a while.

DON'T CUT YOUR HAIR.

Don't tie your shoelaces.... use the no tie laces.

Don't carry '****' in your shirt pocket.

Don't wear regular pants.
