Lavender Storm
Where dream life and waking life converge
here I am, with the storm I felt brewing, and it is beautiful
woke to figments of blissful sleep with images of love in view
respectful warrior boy dressing my body in kisses before letting me go about my business
B.Rose giving me design ideas and blouses embroidered with gold triangles and swatches
Fallin’ & Flyin’
I was goin’ where I shouldn’t go
seein’ who I shouldn’t see
doin’ what I shouldn’t do
and bein’ who I shouldn’t be
a little voice told me it’s all wrong
another voice told me it’s alright
I used to think that I was strong
but lately I just lost the fight
funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
I got tired of bein’ good
started missing that old feeling free
stop actin’ like I thought I should
and went on back to bein’ me
I never meant to hurt no one
I just had to have my way
if there is such a thing as too much fun
this must be the price you pay
funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
you never see it comin’ till it’s gone
it all happens for a reason
even when it’s wrong
especially when it’s wrong
funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
I was goin’ where I shouldn’t go
seein’ who I shouldn’t see
doin’ what I shouldn’t do
and bein’ who I shouldn’t be
”…you don’t need to inspire anyone, you just need to be inspired. Because we automatically inspire by virtue of BEING inspired. It’s a reciprocal process.” -Duncan Wong (in “Blessed to Serve”)
Pains become pleasurea, poison turns to nectar,
the world becomes deliverance: this is ´Siva’s path. (pg/ 78,The Gods At Play)

Platinum Gold Rain
Last night’s Zzz brought about numerous folds of energy and imagery.
One dreamscape was of a reuniting of Emz and me…. after greet one another with pleasantries, I observed her Goddess like features as we relished in the enigmatic presence of our divine Goddess Lacey. We lounged amongst satiny sheets that draped from an invisible ceiling… All around us was Lacey in the form of heavenly rain that softly dispersed and misted into our exchange of reverent gazes.. We each became increasingly beautiful with the love floating into and overflowing from our souls. I observed her radiance grow as I felt our awareness merge into one and each becoming our Goddess.
It is fascinating how things emerge for us.
Yesterday was a beautiful day. I spent the midst of it with Alex on the UA campus… What tremendous dialogue we engaged.
I fell asleep to infinity and woke to infinity. It was a blissful night.

Dream Angel Dog (draft)
…had an interesting dream
I’d say nightmare if not for it’s powerful reminder that life is not over even in the face of death.
Life for those who still live continues of course, but life of the one who has past as well.
Energy doesn’t just die, it transfers ~ there’s even a word for it: “Transduction”
My dream was that my family’s dog was killed, but when I received the news from my father’s lips DJ was still jumping about by my father’s side… I asked where it happened and my father didn’t care to answer, he was too enamored by the presence of the DJ that was here regardless of the ‘body.’
Building a Labyrinth
Some of the most important aspects of my life and cornerstones of my values come from connecting with the here and now, namely through nature.
Something I have deeply enjoyed is walking a labyrinth that was built in the dry desert wash that runs north from my parents home. Even without walking the all of its paths precisely, I have gained peaceful experiences sitting at its center or draped across the rocks of which it is composed.
A tentative goal I have now is to construct a labyrinth outside my home.
