List. Cant you see the breeze is just a change in pace?

Song playlist of serendipity for a Saturday morning with nothing to do but stretch and feel the beauty of muscles and soft sheets and blue sky out the window and anticipate coffee, ahhh delight delight three tunes on RNR sooo dance-able and yes of course some days you should just fall out of bed, celebrating....

  1. Southside of Heaven, Ryan Bingham

Instructions for reclaiming wild sensibilities if its been more than 24 hours since you've breathed the sun

  1. Barefeet
  2. Get near something green that has roots and eats sunshine and air
  3. Find your back breath: Recognize your feet. Be solid, but open. Recognize your belly breath. Next! Center. Breathe into/from back of neck, into back of shoulders and then to back of back on down. This is where wild-sense lives, dormant. You are part wild animal. You have rhythms that remind you and ache for you to run in the breeze. Breath these parts awake again. Re-connect.
  4. Listen. Feel. Open. Breathe.

Poetry

  1. Is a way of living which includes or perhaps is reliant on following what turns you on
  2. Spanish turns me on
  3. Words and stories turn me on
  4. People turn me on
  5. La mama: Nature and Life turns me on
  6. Library has lots of poem books
  7. Study introductions, especially if written by other poets
  8. Lay in the sun on second hand sheet eating food you made yourself and drinking cream soda
  9. Read poem a word at a time. Read spanish translations a breath at a time. Harmonize
  10. Harmonize. Harmonize

Pay attention. If not now, when? Why not?

  1. Beautiful friend in middle of great heartbreak/heartmending life change over delicious dinner under trees and starlight says forget about living each day as if it were my last. I AM LIVING EACH DAY LIKE MY FIRST
  2. These could be just words. They are. They are also more.
  3. Are they?
  4. If not, why not?

Fear and sadness resign oneself to unconscious greed and acts of selfishness. Jealousy clouds vision. Inverse relationship of not owning self projects outter whirls of powerlessness on to everyone else. Matter is atomic. Everyone changes.

  1. Be honest with myself fear and sadness are natural and normal as is jealousy a common defense
  2. Be honest with my friends and the people on my path entrusted to help you care for your heart
  3. Be still. All things pass, and later come again
  4. Life goes on and that's just it: LIFE. It is the most affirming guide there is.

Carl Jung wrote that 35 is middle-aged. Is when one steps in to the afternoon of one's life....

  1. I turned 33 one month ago
  2. I for the first time in my life can actually say that I know myself, know with confidence at least some certain parts of who I am, and feel confident going forward trusting in the room and grace and space within that I've taken the long years to own and love in to light
  3. I see this not as the afternoon. I am barely just now first breathing!! I am just now taking first steps, this is the First Day!

In meditation gentleness ease and non-judgment are encouraged. As is comfort of posture. Prepare for yourself a soft sweet inner place of silence and refuge where I and only I can always go. Be the warrior traveller of your own domain.

  1. I meditate under a soft blanky, laid out straight chillin like I'm watching tv
  2. Often it helps to remind myself to ritualize. So I start with time to center, let what I'm doing sink in. I put a tender smile on my face
  3. Time is mutable
  4. When found to be scattering up the walls of the monkey mind, begin again
  5. There go the thoughts and there I go with them, ahhhh well, begin again
  6. Begin again
  7. It's ok. Be gentle. Begin again
  8. Witness all thoughts and feelings without becoming them, without judging them
  9. Ooooops, became them again. Begin again...
  10. Metta is the practice of loving kindness
  11. End all ritual with practice of loving kindness. Start with self. Then intend outwards towards all of Life
