When I woke up

When I woke up this morning, I heard the sound of silence.
All was quiet within the mind net.
I can feel the space singing it's own song when the mind net is down.
And even if it's because they are asleep, people are different when they are quiet.

My day was filled with such fullness, abundance, love & joy, as it is everyday.
This day was extra special because we as friends were all able to gather together
in one room. People get spread out far, in the dessert, across the country, above us and below.
When we are all able to celebrate with one another, the flights of fancy parade.
We drink, eat and play.
The aromas of game, root vegtables and go go martinis fly in the air.
Our bellys are aching with food and laughter.

Then the night begets the quiteness once again.
Till tomorrow...

I caught the Happy Virus last night

When I was out singing beneath the stars

It is remarkably contagious -

So kiss me!

I had dessert first.

Everyday is great.
And today is/was special.
I very much enjoyed waking up to another day with my Beloveds.
We meditated together, had some breakfast, then went to the nursery.
Lots of beautiful plants to add to our GORGEOUS GARDEN it's transformed and become
a beautiful oasis. The plants we bought today were all native to California, which makes it
low maintenance, and drought resistance. One plant that I purchased today is called Euphorbia,
it's a really beautiful shrub I've been looking for, it has greenish purple leaves with a chartreuse green
flower head (when it blooms). I bought them all out.
I worked in the garden briefly with Minor, while the B napped. After her nap i visited with a lovely couple
Andrea, and Henning. I met Andrea at the Mother Nurture group , she has a 3 month yr old son Lucas.
They have a beautiful modern-designed home, the bathroom tiles are the tiles I've had my eye on at the
Home Expo, small iridescence bluish whitish pinkish tiles, very cute. We visited over tea, the mama's brownies,
angel food cake, and chocolate covered strawberries - MY Favorite!
Next the little B and I met mursshud, sayler, the mama, and beeliscous at Apsara Temple, aka Beeliscious's new apt.
She prepared a to die for dinner. Filled with wonderful flavors of the East, Thai peanut sauce with noodles, salmon,
spinach, Tom Kai soup, tofu dish, wild black rice....I think that's it. Wow was it tasty the flavors were great.
It was a great dinner after my dessert!
For once I didn't have my camera or camera phone with me, so I don't have any pictures to show for of today.

This is a bouquet I made from our garden ;)

Most of all, I encourage people to go into their difficulties and to cope with the change that's taking place even as they are paying attention to it. Our life is nothing but change and it is to this change that I bow deeply. I bow to this change, I bow deeply to life itself. _ ruth Dennison
