ORCAS, travelling is interesting, getting a little old, people want change and don't want to change


people with strokes:
want change

though even there
some want to just wait for magic
to transform them

children with special needs,
parents want to see them have a rich
life

people in pain:
sometimes they are open to
learning an amazing way of
reawakening themselves,
sometimes not

people doing
"okay"
almost always
want to stay
in whatever rut/ comfort/ pattern
they've found for themselves

And is that true?
Posted  a couple of years later.
Is it true
is it true
is it true?

And what if I'm in a rut
of complaining about other people being in a rut?


life is good.

SONOMA: Love is Big

plane
Left Atlanta on March 24,
my son's birthday.

Here's the plane wing
over the clouds.

Sometimes it's so nice
to be above the clouds.

Kind of like when we come home to our real selves
and don't identify with the
petty thoughts/ complaints/ demands/ beliefs
that can keep us so mired
in
a messy world
of our own making.


Came to Sonoma,
but spent most of the time
completing the basic training
of the ANAT BANIEL METHOD.

Did the ten segments,
each nine days,
with my son, Brendan.
brendan and anat

Wonderful wonderful group
of people.
Wonderful experience.


Meanwhile back in Sonoma
the kind lady who was housing
me
didn't want to partake of the lessons,
which was sad for me,
not being able to give,
and sad for her,
in my opinion,
since she didn't get the sweet
grand gains
of a series of lessons.

Some people seem
to fear a change
even if it
would be a sweetening of their lives.

Again, my opinion.

And of course:
sometimes I'm like that.


However:
on the birthday,
yesterday,
April 13,
up to a new house,
right away someone took
received
gained from
enjoyed a
lesson.

And,
they made me
a raw birthday
cake.

And I got to sleep outdoors,
second time since back to Sonoma,
the first being wild wonderful
Brettt with three t's b-day
party (his April 6 a week before
mine)

His party:
up at Sugarloaf.

And sweet presents:
calls from Brendan and my daughter Wenonah
and my former intimate friend
and now
becoming sweet friend
again,
Marlie.

We had a few rough spots,
but my loving that she has
a new man who treats her really
well
this she can finally believe.

Love is big.
It's not owning,
it's wanting the best for the other.

My opinion.

Good?

I think so.

ATLANTA: failure yes, failure no




I set out to travel
and to give as many lessons
as possible
in whatever place I was in.

Then I realized I had to make
some money
so offered free
lessons the first week
and then,
to charge.

Not many taking me
up
on it.

Oh, well,
this is my job to fascinate
intrigue
inspire
more to join
the learning and miraculous
possibilities.http://www2.blogger.com/img/blank.gif


Meanwhile
with the special needs
wonderful child
Bentley-Grace
lots of lessons,
lots of progress,
lots of learning.


Good.
