I must be a gypsy too.  I find it very provactive-positive-if -travel-equals-life-affirming- in- love-with-this-life-erotic-on-the-highest-love-not-romantic-or-sexual-level-all-the-highest-potential-sea-water-mystery-loving-journey....the Jypsy's Journey to the far East on a massive ship. 

My degrees of measure on this trip have been less.  What if my first 42 degrees of writing burned away all obsessive feelings and healed me.  So now I am a calm -waiting, but not a desiring, sad, or even compulsive female pulsing with the other's energy.  I have returned to my aware self- glad of myself- and of the Other, the mystery, how life is in the here and now.  

I have a friend who travels to the far east and works extremely hard for 42 days.  That is the end of the story and thus my degree of burning seems low and almost to have no fire...but here is the good part.  

The fire is that quiet and deep heat-  a penetrating ember of fire -the underneath red glow, it doesn't really smoke, crackle or jump high in the air.  It is the low Earthy pulsing kind.  
When you close the wood burning stove...after the fire has really taken off and it is hot and the logs are half burnt which makes the heat form...and you lock it in...cut off almost all air...down to the point where there is just enough to make the heat of the embers last a long, long time.   It heats the whole house, sometimes the tile around the stove is so hot you cannot even step on it It even appears that the fire is not moving, but it it is...
I am the starter of this fire, the sustainer, the reaper, the keeper....I just need an Other(a water gypsy-kind) sometimes to ignite It once in awhile. 

360 Degrees of Fire: The Human Potential

6th Degree of Fire:  42 Degrees Within the 360 Degrees

The name of this blog is 42 Degrees of Fire.  It has been on my mind that my own evolution may not be more than 42-45 degrees on 360 Degrees of Fire.  If 360 Degrees is the ultimate full circle of life.  But the problem comes in when you think of yourself as a three dimensional being.  Then things become more complex.  You are vertical and horizontal.  I would say we only show 42 degrees of our fire.  We are a full 360 degrees of three dimensions of potential.  Do we go the 360 degrees?  Do we know our 360 degrees intimately?  I do not know.  If someone ask me randomly do you pursue all of your 360 degrees of Fire...what would I say?  I only show 42 degrees of my fire.  Maybe?  

One place I feel my 360 degrees is when I am on the tennis court.  I have think, fight, be healthy, strong, in shape, skill beyond anything ever encountered before, and  exhibit my will.  I am so much on the court.  I am my highest potential.  Sometimes in the classroom I hit 180 degrees.  When I am in a relationship with someone that I have known for 43 years, I feel the 300 degrees of fire.  Sometimes you are lucky and meet old friends and they bring out a good 80 to 120 degrees of fire in the first meeting.  It is mysterious and wonderful.  

The Jypsy has a wide potential.  The hero of 42 degrees of Fire is a Marine Engineer, a Back Country Skier, a sailor on small intimate sailboats, a surfer, hunter, builder,  plays the guitar, mountain biker, explorer, son, brother and once a husband.  All these archetypes are avenues for us to fulfill our highest potential.  I am not sure which one will deliver us to our enlightenment.  This enlightenment is different for each of us.  Some of us have our purpose so well written that it is spelled out perfectly.  Some of us on the outskirts live with massive possibilities but never pursue them.  A sort of gypsy myself, I understand the degrees in which inspiration comes.  It is not easy to choose one path thoroughly.  I am not sure if we are suppose to pick only one.  

In the end our 360 degrees of passion should be explored.  We are so much more than we appear to be.  In the end we should not limit ourselves to the flat 360 degrees of a drawn circle.  Remember than you are a sphere that includes mathematical equations that Einstein would be jealous of.  We have Pi and many calculus equations that are happening in the now.  Our DNA is a massive amount of unknown potential.  Presently, it is said, that we only use 3 % of our DNA.  That means 97 % of our potential is unknown.  This is the mystery that still lives.  

So if we say that we show and perform only at 42 % of our potential which is 360 degrees of vertical horizontal, mystery, energy and intentions all within one sphere that is our mind, body and soul then we have a lot of work to do.  The space that exists within a sphere is not empty.  If you imagine the body of Da Vinci in is famous drawing of man, with a circle around it, then you understand that we are complex three dimensional wonders.
