Here and Now...What's Happening?

Ho'oponopono

I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.

Going out to walk my lunch hour, with ho'oponopono for a mantra.

Love to all.

Cool guy, this Commander Chris Hadfield. Even though he is a NASA employee.

It is because he is Canadian.

Only a Canadian would take time from its charged schedule to learn how to sing so nicely.

A little extra word: I am surprised he is not French Canadian, this would fit our spirit very well. Lol (could not avoid saying this )

I've known enough Canadians in my life to be able to agree with you.
Can't say that about French Canadians, though, as I can't judge.

This Hadfield guy reminds me of one good friend who retired in Barbados after having been a test pilot in the Canadian air force, taking off and landing on one of their relatively small aircraft carriers.
After retiring he took to painting miniature pictures of flowers and birds, which he then distributed to his friends as Christmas and birthday cards. I wish now I had kept one.
He was an Aries.

Yea, and who knows, they could be used to drop food and water into areas after natural disasters. Hmm. There could be a thread to brainstorm beneficent uses for some current technologies.

To all my beautiful friends,

You know this thread means so much to me! That is why I gravitate to this so much. It actually does brighten up my day! Duh! Is this not why this is the most popular thread, BY FAR of any other?

You can come here and feel like you are on Ulli's porch breathing the fresh air of Costa Rica and having a beautiful convesation. Laid back and being yourself!

And that goes to a lot of you Avalonian's, who I feel I could do the same thing!

Thank you! A lot more than the almost 2000 thank you's that I have pushed a button to. It comes from the heart!

Here and now.

Sitting out on the deck drinking a cold beer, stressing over my daughter's wedding on Saturday. Some people not RSVPing before the deadline, saying they are coming. MY wife, bless her heart, trying to arrange with the caterer for another 25 plates. Saying he needs more $. Have you seen Father of The Bride with Steve Martin. That's me! But I don't have all the money he has. We even have our own Franc! The wedding planner. lol!

Anyway, sitting on the deck whatching the sun go down. A lone hawk(chicken hawk I presume) came soaring through the air gliding. I was thinking, I wishI was that hawk. Not a care in the world!

Then an ephipony(I know that is the wrong way to spell it) hit me. That hawk has to work every day for it's food. There is no retirement like I have, they live life to the fullest everyday and make due with what they've got. When they can't take care of themselves, they go off and die.

It made me realize what a lucky man, I am to be able to walk my daughter down the ailse, to give here away, as well as gain a son, to dance that first dance with her. A quote from her
"I am daddy's girl"! She will always be my girl! Good vibes for Saturday May 18th!

Hi guys...not sitting on my Costa Rica porch right now; still busy getting ready for the trip.
But my next post might be from the porch in Barbados...

I'm sure the wedding will be perfect, Roy. You have my best wishes for a happy day.

What an exciting day around here. The energy in the car on the way to drop Em at school was electric. Last night she finished the rough draft of her Essay on the illegality and unconstitutionality of teachers sharing their religious beliefs in a classroom setting.

Mike is concerned about repercussions. Or, he was. This is the way I put it to him, though. I could have picked up the torch, put on my warrior persona, and kicked some butt on three distinct occasions on this issue. First, the teacher reassured the students nothing would happen on 12-21-12 since the book of Revelation says Armageddon will happen in the year 2016 when there are five blood red moons. Second, the teacher played Gospel music during class. Third, I could pick one of several instances when she brought God into the science discussion, most memorable to me was that God created the periodic table. (eye roll) However, in the interest of protecting her from the fallout in this small town and choosing to teach her how to be true to herself and be tolerant as everyone is on their own path, I refrained.

This essay assignment was simply to write two pages about any topic of interest to the students. Em chose this topic. She researched it. She felt strongly enough to write it, knowing it would not be a popular topic around here. In this case, it is my daughter being courageous and truthful and I will by-gawd be at that school in a split second if she gets any flack for writing it. So, truly I am not worried about repercussions.

She did quite a good job with this. One of the sources she used extensively was a website for teachers, one faq page in particular. One of the questions a teacher asked was, "Can I wear a cross (necklace) to school?" The answer is, "yes. However, if a student asks why you have worn it, you can only say that it is an important symbol in your religion. You cannot say anything like it reminds me that Jesus died for our sins." There are also non-profit organizations that have been created to defend the students' rights to a religiously neutral learning environment. In Ohio, about four years ago, there was a teacher (reminds me of someone) who played Gospel music during class, used a Bible as a hall pass, and had a stack of Christian pamphlets next to her pencil sharpener. All of these things are actually unconstitutional. So one such organization was contacted, and wrote a letter to the school district. This "bad behavior," as Em calls it, promptly stopped.

The girl has some chutzpa. That's for sure.

I understand why this paper would be personally offensive to most of this town. But I've also been a teacher in Texas, and I have found that most teachers understand this is not an issue of right or wrong, morally or spiritually, it is an issue of appropriate and inappropriate behavior according to the Constitution and specifically according to the Establishment Clause. This is another case in which (some) people will do exactly as they like, and if this behavior is against certain laws they will stop only when made to.

An added problem here, in this particular town, is teachers who are bullies. It is very sad for these children. There are parents who know this, and there is even at least one teacher I know of who agrees. And bullies don't like to be told their behavior is illegal, so I expect someone up at the school is not going to like to be told their behavior is over the line.

I'm ready, though. I'm excited. I'm so proud of her. I did, of course, caution her repeatedly that this might cause a ripple. And since she has accepted that and decided to move forward, I pity anyone who takes issue with the content. And, I can hardly wait to hear the responses

Guess I'm off to water the garden. Much Love, Village.

For those who like their crystals, singing bowls and links to Lemuria – here’s a series of 3 vids where an enthusiastic Liz takes a tour of a magical shop in Mount Shasta. Bev Wilson studied structural engineering, and now helps “shepherd” the crystals within the store. The conversation between them sparkles, but for me it’s the bowls that are the stars of the documentary. Their presence is felt more in part 2 onwards.

There’s joy and cleansing. Delicious.

I’m not likely to own one of these beauties any time soon; they can cost up to thousands of dollars (sigh ) But the vids are an enjoyable journey, worth it for the ride.

”A captivating interview about Lemurian seed crystals and demonstration of holographic singing bowls with Bev Wilson, proprietor of Mt Shasta's Middle Earth, the Crystal Room. Liz Millar is a DJ, yoga teacher and quantum vibrational healer. She trained as a sound healer with Tom Kenyon the week before this video was filmed.”

I posted this quote on Beren’s thread about Beauty, and am loving it still...

"Let us …remember that although to all outward appearances music seems to be over as soon as the last chord has sounded and the celebrants have dispersed, this is not the case. It has also been created on a subtle plane and remains like an exquisite flower hovering over the sanctuary. No musical vibrations are ever lost, even though they are dispersed, they will go on vibrating through the cosmos for eternity, because the subtle effects of sound linger after the audible sound has died out, so that any results are long lasting."

...The lovely thoughts of Renee Brodie, who you can see in this trailer, which contains more singing bowl enthusiasm. Renee appears fleetingly around 2:43. https://youtube.com/watch?v=pRsCmUiga-8

May sonic inspiration find all who seek to cleanse
