    Here and now...Life is not what is appears. And I have a lot to uncover. I was going to say I have a lot to learn, but that is not wholly accurate. I have a long way to go...yet...possibly the biggest hurdle for me is Trusting what comes. The connection gets stronger, then I doubt. One day it will happen...or possibly over many days. It is a matter of finding the Will to continue to touch the Infinite. One might think this would be an easy task. Or perhaps one would think the task is impossible. But...it is the task set before me.

    One step at a time, one day at a time, one nudge from the little voice at a time.

    It is in here. And I will find it.

    Much love,
    Life is a road we don't travel alone. But everyone's on their own journey home.

    Much love,

    After at visit with the purple lama I thought you would be ready to take on the universe, like a boss.

    I had those thoughts yesterday, too, about one step at a time. But then I got struck with
    One step, and you are there. And then I was THERE, in the infinite. Peace, silence, no ruffles at all.
    But today my body is saying tired tired tired. And rest rest rest. And my mind is saying get up and DO something.
    So with body and mind battling like this I have to confess I lost the connection, yet again.
    It won't be forever, but for now I have to ride this one out.
    Mercury square moon, transiting today.

    GAVIN FRIDAY. WONDERFUL IRISH COMPOSER.

    DEDICATED TO KYLA

    No, I'm not myself today.
    Je suis Salome... I am romantic
    Je suis Apollo... I am gigantic
    Hey! Stronzo,
    I'm standing next to you in the supermarket
    Yeah! Your are obvious, I am oblivious

    Salome, Apollo, in Technicolour
    I walked on the moon to touch the stars,
    A legend in my lifetime.
    Oh momma! My Rosa! From an early age
    I was used and abused, no more those bad reviews
    Take me back to '72 my coo ca choo,
    Oh! Ignorance was bliss,
    Spunk-a-flow, to the joy of my first kiss

    I'm not me... I'm not me... I'm not me... not me...
    Non sono io!

    Oh my lord, I'm so bored, what's on the TV?
    Do we really need these pissy popstars
    When there's not enough of me!
    Oh Dada, my Dali, un chien de Lou Lou...
    I am the art in your party,
    Not a twist cap sniffing bore.
    It's tough in the queue, it's as unto a platform shoe,
    Oh! Trampled underfoot,
    I'm Fred Astaire, I face the music and dance.

    I'm not me... I'm not me... I'm not me... not me...
    No I'm not myself... today

    Oh glorioso deliver us not into frustration

    Salome, Apollo, in Technicolour,
    I walked on the moon to touch the stars.
    Hey Stronzo... Ancora!

    I'm not me... I'm not me... I'm not me... not me...
    Non sono io!
    Heave ho... heave ho...

    Leonardo! Marlon Brando! Machiavelli!
    And Bertolt's Belly!
    A millionaire with curly hair, I'm your burning empire.

    Greta Garbo! Andy Warhol! And his jam-roll!
    Nero plays his violin, Seezer his accordian


    I'm sitting in the bathtub watching the dirty water
    Swirl down the plughole... and on my stereo...
    ..is Caruso

    I went to an informal dinner party last night with folks I have known for a long time, just 10 or so. I have socialised with these people a number of times before and it was always just polite social chit chat, which bores the crap out of me. Last night though was different... there was a distinct feeling of love and brotherhood and genuine acceptance and friendship that made a situation I was not looking forward to, an absolute pleasure.. what a lovely, tangible indication of changing consciousness.
    At one stage during the evening 9/11 came up and I was surprised to hear that all but one had changed from believing the mainstream story (Some of these folks that I had talked to about 9/11 previously so I knew their stance) to a more educated viewpoint.
    'the times they are a changing'

    My neighbor had some furniture delivered yesterday, I started to do my thing with the delivery man- then stopped when he said whats Fukushima! "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change," - came to mind.

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    I tell people everyday about as many things as I can including Fukushima and most say oh yea
    I kinda remember that several years ago.......

    At the grocery store or restaurants I am always asking where the seafood came from and half never know
    and almost all do not care and then I show them my gamma scout rad detector and they all go white.

    One of these days it will start chirping...............

    Just beautiful. I really felt that Irish spirit while listening,
    and their defiance against their arrogant oppressors.

    This is what the collective NOW is about.

    Oh, and Dan33...memory stirrer that you are....
    These lines triggered long forgotten memories of mine.
    of when I worked as a projectionist at night, while an art student during the day, in London, UK

    Oh Dada, my Dali, un chien de Lou Lou...
    I am the art in your party,
    Not a twist cap sniffing bore.
    It's tough in the queue, it's as unto a platform shoe,
    Oh! Trampled underfoot,
    I'm Fred Astaire, I face the music and dance.


    These lines refer to a movie I used to show,
    "Un Chien Andqlou" by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali
    During the most surreal period of my life.

    As a bit of an aside...glad to see PurpleLama is back to being called PurpleLama. It's good to see the wizard once again appropriately attired in his correct colour.

    After at visit with the purple lama I thought you would be ready to take on the universe, like a boss.
    Well, I’ll tell you. Standing at the fire altar was an amazing experience. After several libations, it got quite…surreal. Lines started to blur. And when he handed me something and said to do thus and such with it, I *knew* I could. I was. I will. And I have, and I do. Standing side by side, there is no doubt whatsoever.

    That happens right before the thoughts come. Thoughts like, “Aw hell, that’s impossible. How could that possibly be? That is outside the realm of logic. That cannot happen. This is not real.”

    Another, more concrete, more easily described, example is this. I was playing with PL’s very special little boys. And five other “children” appeared to me. Three on the right, two on the left. And they were very happy, excited. Not children of matter. Not ghosts. Not spirits. For a split second, I *knew* beyond any doubt they were there. I could see them, sense them, watch them, and enjoy them.

    And after about a minute, I was doubting whether that could actually happen. It did happen. I know it did. So why would I need reassurance from anyone else that they were there? I couldn’t explain their presence. Were these children real? A figment of my imagination? What were they? Was it a memory of lifetimes ago? Was it in this moment? (Which are the same thing depending on where I’m centered.) I think it is my mind, trained ever so well, trying to make sense of things. Things which cannot be taken apart and analyzed but must be accepted. In order to cope, they must just be accepted.

    Or possibly that is not my mind at all, but the trained outer lying influence pushing its way in to subtly make me lose my mind.

    That’s where the feeling of insanity comes from. For me anyway.

    Meditation is the only place of solace. Problem is, to get to that one single beautiful place of all and nothing, even for a moment, I have to fight that battle on another level entirely. The back and forth just will not shut up. So it is a matter of watching to see what is outer and what is inner. And for me, this is not always an easy task. Outside thoughts can be disguised very well…when looking for the place of no thought, spiritual thought is still thought, and thus not what I want.

    Sorry, I ramble I think. I am off to battle the thoughts in order to find a moment of solace and connection.

    Blessings to you All and Much Love,
    Life is a road we don't travel alone. But everyone's on their own journey home.
