The Life and Times
This would be the random thoughts, often meandering and incomplete, of Dan Abernathy. This is "my space dot something." A place to keep everyone up on what's going on in my life and how my mind is working, or what state of chaos and confusion that I am in. Here are my thoughts, rants, introductions, new images and projects I am working on and anything else that I want to place here. Here there are no rules! This will be like opening up the mind of Dan Abernathy and looking in, for some entertaining, and wonderment. For others fear and bewilderment. I will also be sharing excerpts from Trolling For Coyotes, a book that has nothing to do with coyotes, just me.

Be advised; I am a atrocious speller and for this I apologies, but I am also to old to really care, or try to learn how to be better. I rely on spell check and friends to proof my spelling, If you find something smile let me know, I'll be smiling when I hear it. Thanks dan.

Complex Simplicity

Things are always more complicated than they seem ... and they're also always far simpler. It all depends on what level we look at. Examine events on too microscopic a scale, get distracted by day-to-day ephemera, try to do too many tasks at once, turn everything into a crisis --- and life becomes impossibly complex. Or focus on what's really important --- and life is suddenly simple. Most of what we worry about is unworthy of us. Some situations, individually or in conjunction, are critical. Keep watch for them. Relax & be alert.

No Mater Where
Why is it no mater where you place a trashcan, trash will find it? – dba


I walked by this aspen tree and it told me to stop and look.

A Fraction of the Truth
When you hear someone talking about another person, take the sum of what you have heard, which is the sum of the whole and divide it by two. Then take the remanding half and subtract fifty percent from it. Take that sum and divide it into quarters. Delete all but one quarter and subtract fifty percent of that sum. Now, in theory, you should have a fraction of the truth.  - dba



If you don’t know where you are going,
any road will get you there.
Lewis Carroll

I looked around, but didn't find anyone naked in the bush!

Forty is the old age of youth;
fifty the youth of old age.
Victor Hugo



Deer tracks over an anthill. I wonder if the ants heard them.

Ant Hills
What are the construction criteria for the building of an anthill? Why do they pick the spots that they pick? Does a single ant, a committee, make this important decision or is it done as a true democracy and every ant votes? If all makes this decision do they all have the same goal and commitments without ill content? If there is, are the naysayers lost in the masses and ate? –dba

Imagine It and Do It
    The only way we can ever expect to be happy and at peace is to fallow our heart. We must allow ourselves to dream, to dare, to move on to truly find our own capabilities?
    Imagine, right now, doing something different. Quitting the doldrums of right now and start living in the now. Living as self in the now, the self that resides in your mind.
    If you can imagine it, why are you not doing it? When you think about living, live. Do not let the reasons why you cannot, drift into your dreams. Can't and shouldn't are doubts and fear placed in our minds by our controlling people and a controlling society. These negative elements do not live or survive in the self of now. Fallow your heart and your dreams and it will sit you free.
If you stop searching you stop living. - dba



This image and the one above are sights found on my walks into nature. These treks are becoming more and more frequent and needed as the bullshit gets in the way.
