Tuesday morning call in 20 min. I'm up in the dark with the blinding bright florescent light instead of candle light in the bedroom. Edward sat by me on the desk and purred as i read folks' journal entries. The cat door is now open. I'm not sure if Edward is out yet because Greycie Loo, the great strategist, bolts out first thing so she can guard the narrow pass on the other side.
A friend had wondered if not eating wheat was the cause of my cankers. I don't think the breads i used to buy were particularly fortified with iron. Or B complex or D. I do wonder about my diet that i am low in D and iron. I haven't ever eaten a great deal of red meat, but "i need something green" with spinach or kale or cabbage has always been with me.
OK, well, there you go. Apparently there is iron enrichment in some breads.
I think i'll look into snacking on sardines and smoked oysters. Yum.

When i'm in Meeting, i try to practice the pendulation i'm learning from my therapist. Pendulation means not sticking with an intense experience over a long period but allowing my attention to swing. I am QUITE capable of sticking with the intensity, but at this point in my life, doing so simply drains me. It's not sustainable, so ignoring the "the right thing" perfectionist in my mind, i let my mind wander to creating things while in Meeting. It's the case that i have often met my Muse there, seeing color and designs and patterns while in worship. I also accept that as part of my relationship with co-creation.
But, oh, do my ideas surpass my skills.
So, i have been reminded of a sweater i have started, only to be vanquished by the collar. I don't think i've worked on the sweater for two years: the hassock cosy was started after. I've much more experience since i last did the sweater, so the sweater is the top of my mind.
Looking at my list:
* can i crochet sachets for all the rosemary i have as Yule gifts?
* Posting DeckBills to folks is still important to me
* another Yule thing might be photobooks.

I've tried to stay on top of the issues in Colombia since meeting folks in the San Francisco meeting who lived one of the Peace Communities of Colombia: one way that people try to stay on their land in the midst of such a long running civil war. I don't speak about my concern for Colombia enough, I don't write my representatives enough, and i don't know that hitting the "Like" button is enough -- but i can share this much with you all this morning.

Eating a diet with iron-rich foods can help treat iron-deficiency anemia. Good sources of iron include the following:
meats - beef, pork, lamb, liver, and other organ meats
poultry - chicken, duck, turkey, liver (especially dark meat)
fish - shellfish, including clams, mussels, and oysters, sardines, anchovies
leafy greens of the cabbage family, such as broccoli, kale, turnip greens, and collards
legumes, such as lima beans and green peas; dry beans and peas, such as pinto beans, black-eyed peas, and canned baked beans
yeast-leavened whole-wheat bread and rolls
iron-enriched white bread, pasta, rice, and cereals
OK, well, there you go. Apparently there is iron enrichment in some breads.
