Sunday
The name comes from the Latin dies solis, meaning "sun's day": the name of a pagan Roman holiday. It is also called Dominica (Latin), the Day of God. The Romance languages, languages derived from the ancient Latin language (such as French, Spanish, and Italian), retain the root.
French: dimanche; Italian: domenica; Spanish: domingo
German: Sonntag; Dutch: zondag. [both: 'sun-day']
Both my hands lay upon the ergonomically designed keyboard, and with increased ease my fingers are nimble on the "j,kl: and space bar." My right fingers are healing as my right arm heals. The whole rest of my dear old kino (the body) is making adjustments to the fall I took nearly two weeks prior. With the injury, the splitting apart of body-mind-and spirit happens. I attend to those messages and though I am not always accurate in my tuning, I must commend myself for the commitment to stick with the atunement. I am a seasoned seeker, not new to the process yet always humbled by the reality that being 'fixed' of my foibles is really not the goal. Grateful for this Sunday, I work at the keyboard with an old favorite guide at my left-side--a book. For years now, I have been void of books and found replacement satisfaction through the screen, when I could have one. This Sunday, I have been savoring the tactile page and the promise of words on paper. More from Gabor Mate ... about "commitment" "Commitment is sticking with something not becasue "it works' or because I enjoy it, but because I have an intention that overrides momentary feelings or opinions...you just have to do it and to understand that if you have lapsed, it doesn't mean that you have failed. It's an opportunity to begin anew..." (p. 377 "The Four Steps: Plus One" from In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts)
