TAO, INSOMNIA & ONE-CLICK PURCHASES

Tao, Insomnia & One-Click Purchases

I’m worried about Identity Theft.

Cautious about giving my Credit Card number

to Amazon or Best Buy.

But,
 once upon a time,

I was awake at 2 a.m.,

a time when,
 apparently, my rational senses had left!

AND


I had recently created the 
ONE CLICK PURCHASE!

That night I ordered a midnight blue

JVC camcorder.

I not only easily learned it quickly

and how to upload,
 but also,

 this beautiful blue camera

takes stills,

and that has changed my life!

Nearly a year later,

I was awake at 3 a.m.

listening to the BBC World Service.

I heard an announcement

for a MY WORLD BBC Film Competition.

I used the camera, I-Photo & my own music

through Garage Band to make a 

mini-movie!

 The folks at BBC liked the submission
and encouraged me
to develop the original idea

into a narrated script.

It made the BBC Short List.

Somebody recognized my talents

after all these years!

This is affirmation

of a new found faith in something

invisible working in a benevolent universe.

I just need to attend to what I love most.

Gardening, photos, and poetry.

And maybe I’ll sleep better, too.

Nature photos led to the next mini-movie

After An April Rain

The camera takes amazing close-ups

 has opened up the small unseen world

in my own back yard.

Like all the beautiful fungi

growing on the branch.

and two more mushrooms

that sprouted over night.

That’s what the Tao is about.

Paying attention to the natural world.

Tao works with what is natural.
