Humans are resilient. That's been going through my head
for days. Humans are resilient. Humans are resilient. Humans are resilient.
From the day they were born.
it amazes me.

all things pink

Oh how I love thee,
they're scuffed, worn in and used by another.
and they're my Favorite shoe & they are PINK.
They were given to me by my friend Aurora, who is
a fashiontista, a mother of two and a heart of Gold.

amma n moi

we visited the Golden Bridge Village today,
and took the Mommy and Me class.
Very fun, I'm not quite sure it's as dynamic as there pre-natal.
It is always a great feeling to be with lots of other mothers
and their babes, and of course Gurumukh.

She's such an inspirational Spiritual being, Mother and community worker.

Her first time...

We were at Whole Foods, for lunch and Mursshud put her in the high chair,
she loved it!

another version

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any medium and will be lost. The world will not have it."

Martha Graham (dancer & choreographer)

Beautiful!

"Dr. Feldenkrais explains how Judo training educates one to be "independent of heritage."

To be independent of heritage means that for at least one moment we can know life in a way not dependent upon our state, size, weight, strength, form, age, gender, personal history, ethnic, or religous background.

I found this excerpt from a Feldenkrais Journal by Dennis Leary, I like this a lot.
Yoga is this way as well. It strips away all things of form, and it's not identified with forms.

Have you ever heard the cry of a teething baby?
It's hard to imagine that we all went through that as children.
breaks my heart to hear her cry


Other than that, today was great, I got a lot done. Things that I've put on the backburner for awhile.
It was refreshing, in the garden, the bank, and personal care.

We spent the weekend in Marina del rey,
at the Matrix Energetics....more like surfing the cosmic wave
This is one of the healers, docent Maggie, a magickal being!

this is wild.
Here we are at the shoe store, O' My Sole.

My sweet girl after our Mommmy and me class, getting her zzzzzzz's
Sayler and I, clowin around. You can find his blog at, http://heyyoumonkey.blogspot.com/

This morning

I woke alert, aware, awake, liberated, and clear
I had a dream.
I was in the mountains with friends and family, when
there was a coup from some cult/dark side group of people.
They took the little B.
I was looking for her, then the Mama and I escaped. Her and I started heading down
the mountain where I could get some help and put her some place safe.
As we got down the hill we were with the darksidepeople again, and in my mom's kitchen.
Then there was this dark spirit all around flying all around the kitchen. I started to pray
sending this entity love and light, and to Nityanada for his help.
The coup leader then spoke up and fessed up to his identity, revealing him as the darkspirit.
He began releasing my family and friends. Everyone except the little B.
I began to leave and let go of my attachment to her. When one of the coupdarksidepeople
asked the leader if he still wanted the little girl, he said NO. He didn't have any use for her.
He gave her bark to me, and on our way out. He gave me a business card (the leader of the darksidecoup)
that read; Sheik (so and so).
Then I woke up, alert, aware, liberated and clear.
It was a true experience of letting go of & attachment.

I Know The Way You Can Get

I know the way you can get
When you have not had a drink of Love:

Your face hardens,
Your sweet muscles cramp.
Children become concerned
About a strange look that appears in your eyes
Which even begins to worry your own mirror
And nose.

Squirrels and birds sense your sadness
And call an important conference in a tall tree.
They decide which secret code to chant
To help your mind and soul.

Even angels fear that brand of madness
That arrays itself against the world
And throws sharp stones and spears into
The innocent
And into one's self.

O I know the way you can get
If you have not been drinking Love:

You might rip apart
Every sentence your friends and teachers say,
Looking for hidden clauses.

You might weigh every word on a scale
Like a dead fish.

You might pull out a ruler to measure
From every angle in your darkness
The beautiful dimensions of a heart you once
Trusted.

I know the way you can get
If you have not had a drink from Love's
Hands.

That is why all the Great Ones speak of
The vital need
To keep remembering God,
So you will come to know and see Him
As being so Playful
And Wanting,
Just Wanting to help.

That is why Hafiz says:
Bring your cup near me.
For all I care about
Is quenching your thirst for freedom!

All a Sane man can ever care about
Is giving Love!

Here a very special boy, and the painting
he created. a.k.a my brother Daniel. He's so talented, and has so much
potential for whatever he puts his focus into.


These are post-party shots

AlJabar - the compeller & a breath of fresh air.
He joined us via iChat,
and was still the life of the party!

First off, looking back at my day yesterday. I saw how spontaneous the
celebration of the day was. Nothing planned, yet it all fell into place perfectly.
After writing my blog, I had a suprise dinner party in the house, along with some very special gifts.
Daniel, my brother who is only a mere 18, painted me an amazing piece of art work of a woman and
her child sitting under the moon. Wow it's a knockout!
As the day turned up I was surrounded with love, family and friends, feasting near and far.

Today, we had a fabulous experience today learning about baby wearing.
Carrie, a knowledgable women, I met a few weeks ago, came over and taught mursshud and I about baby wearing
with slings, mei tai's, and wraps. She has a website, peacefulbeginnings.net, with all kinds
of great conscious birthing information.
Ths particular picture is of M, and Cole, paul and Karen's son. Our lil B, was resting.
It was a fun filled family day.

Snuck up on me

I think it's the first time, I really experienced my birthday sneaking up on me,
where I didn't have any thoughts about it. Someone reminded me of it.
Whatever, It's been yet another Wonderful day with my Beloveds.
Worked out, went to the nursery, and one of my favorite stores, Blue Windows.

This weekend was full.
Today we had a deep cleaning, that's 75% done.
The rest will be finished tomorrow.
Everything here has an extra sparkle, and clear(er) feeling to it.
Our room is filled with shakti, the garden is cool and clean.
I harvested our first green leaf lettuce, very yummy!

Something in the air...

Something magickal that is.
Today was another off the charts day!!!
I had a wonderful rest, with my B's. Cuddleing and cuddeling.
the Lil B went to Sadhana and I got some more Z's. Ahhhhh

And I got my first gardening plot at the Long Beach Organics Garden,
yeah!!! Jumpin for Joy. That's three gardens I'm tending to.

This afternoon, AlJabar and I had a review of things going on, we're on the
same page, and it felt good to connect.

The Ladies and M had a meeting that blew the roof off.

We had a Goji juice party, and a pre-Matrix meeting.

A trip to the airport and bridge, a long nap, a funny movie ( Meet the Fockers),
bloggy bloggy and an outdoor bath, then back to bed.

Feeling grateful.

Fear Factor??

Arms are tied down, and eating a spider.
Typical Day. I'd defenitly win on fear factor, or whatever that
show is called.

Went to a meeting tonite, on starting a Waldorf school in Long Beach.
Very fun, a bit informative, and social.
I'm gonna have to do some homework of my own, and figure this thing out.
We're having our next meeting here at the RYC....will be interesting.

Our family.....woke up, played, worked out, ate, napped, played more....all together!

First day

This is my first post, here on blogger.

Today, the Lil' B and I went to our class. The Mother Nurture Project,
a wonderful 10 week class, on the beginnings of motherhood. It's four
women and our new lil' ones, and Kate, who runs the group.
Today was about sleep for the lil ones, establishing rhythms , and awareness
of our own parents patterns.....Very interesting for me.
