Do You Know The Boomerang Man?

I put out joy. Joy comes back. Joy is a boomerang. So is hate. So is anger.

I know what I want coming back to me. What about you?

I know the Boomerang Man. Not many people can say this but those of us who can generally grin when we say it. I met Rich of theboomerangman.com in 1976…maybe 75. He was out on my high school band’s practice field (no we didn’t own it…lots of people used it). I watched this guy whip a curved stick away from him only to have it return.

He saw me and asked if I wanted to try it. Oh the wicked man! I was so hooked on the hooks. I threw as often as I could. I purchased some fairly pricey ‘rangs too. Wish I had them still. I might go find a field and throw again.

He always laughed at me because I have a really weird throw. Instead of a straight arm throw, I cross my chest. Anyway! This Emperor from the Navigators of the Mystic Sea always makes me think of Rich.

Then there is this quote by Florence Scovel Shinn. She states, “The game of life is the game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.”

I’ve found this to be very true. Have you? It’s one of the reasons I watch what I say and do. I screw up…believe you me, I screw up. But the overriding theme in my life of seeking joy? That’s the one that comes back to me more than anything.

I know what I want coming back to me. What about you?

Today I create joy. Today I open up to the good in the world. Today I laugh. Loved and loving, I love each of you. Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on.

Ups, Downs + In-Betweens

Because what is life if it is not a series of ups, downs and in-betweens?

Today’s card is from a deck I am not familiar with. I have this image from another project. But the idea it represents really works for the Fool.

He slides down on one ribbon but there are so many other choices he could choose. The word here is Emanation. There are several definitions of this word. I think that the one that is best here is this one:

: the origination of the world by a series of hierarchically descending radiations from the Godhead through intermediate stages to matter.:

And out of that definition the one word that speaks to me the most is “series”.

And what is life if we don’t live it?

One of the things I’m working on right now is my word for the year. Last year was GALVANIZE. I think it was a perfect choice. So now I’m on the hunt for this year’s word. Last year I came to the word by letting go of all my preconceived notions of what would be the “right” word. Once I tossed that out, I found GALVANIZE and it resonated.

I know that I want it to be a verb. I know that I want it to resonate. Those are the only two requirements.

It’s part of I keep hawking (grins at Dolphyngyrl). I’ve done the releasing. Now I’m moving into the setting up for next year.

Do you choose a word for the year? Do you have any requirements for that word? I’d love to hear about your process.

Remember that I’m doing three card readings for anyone who purchases (any version–personal, business or combo). Yes, you can give your reading away as a gift if you like. This offer is good through 1/30/2014. Yes, there’s a contest again this year. So that’s part of my push.

But really? The real push is because I honestly believe in this process. It worked for me.

Back to you. What’s your word if you have one?
