Groundhog’s Day, Candlemas & Imbolc 

Been reading a few pages of a great book by Sam Keen called Fire in the Belly.  

Pages 220 to 223 have really hit home.  

It begins:  "Marriage is: an aphrodisiac for the mature; a great yoga; a discipline of incarnate love; a task that stretches a man and a woman to the fullest; a drama inwhich a man and woman must gradually divest themselves of their archetypes and stereotypes and come to  love each other as perfectly flawed individuals."  (Cool eh).

More about me than I want to know (lol):

Growing desire to visit Esalen.

Listed 850 items on Ebay.  One thousand is the goal. 

today i tried ("tried"?) to meditate ...couldn't quite settle my mind, couldn't quiet my mind.

at first, i felt the usual warm, heavy/light floating feeling...

then, i was thinking... thinking...

so... 

shhhhh....

be quiet, mind.

then, after that didn't work,

i somehow realized, that i was still meditating -- even though i was thinking and thinking

i realized that, the meditating was like a quiet, comfortable undertow... underneath my thinking and thinking and thinking

like something that is always there... the meditating

and that the thinking-thinking-thinking did not STOP the meditating, only obscure it... like maybe the meditating is like a stream, and the thinking-thinking-thinking only obscures the stream,  causing it not to disappear, but to run underground.

Thank You Albert & All Here

A few days ago the modem on my computer had an ‘injury’... after the tech ‘healed’ my internet heartbeat I was unable to log into ithou. I did not know if the site had been interrupted or if my connection at home was off due to the previous modem issue.

The next day, I checked ithou while at work and was able to log in. A total AHA moment of relief! And got me thinking about how much I appreciate the powerful connectedness of ithou

Eastern Sunrise lights up body, mind, heart and spirit with Simplicity

Last night’s Lodge was quite intense, funny how each sweat is so entirely different…a few new attendees and both have a connection to Esalen….***Smiling***

As the Western door was opened and healing energy circulated, I could smell Pacific mist and hear prominent waves rolling to and fro…
