Harnessing the Senses

Body is a teacher. I notice that I get off balance in social situations and I've had to apologize recently to a couple people about comments I've made. Comments more insensitive than negative. I'm learning how to contain my senses: the mouthpieces of body. It must be about "harnessing." It feels like/looks like a gyroscope. I'm on new learning curves now that I engage more fully in community in this realm.

A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of angular momentum. The device is a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to take any orientation. This orientation changes much less in response to a given external torque than it would without the large angular momentum associated with the gyroscope's high rate of spin. Since external torque is minimized by mounting the device in gimbals, its orientation remains nearly fixed, regardless of any motion of the platform on which it is mounted.

The senses are not meant to run wild. They are meant to be aligned with higher force.

I live next to horses and pasture and yesterday put horse manure on my garden. The connecting of dots is what makes life enchanting and magical because the force behind the connecting is universal. It's what fills me with joyous wonderment. I wish to expose these "germs" and "viruses" to others. I hope to see this enchantment spread like wild fire.
