I do not go out of my way to APPEAR to be anything.  I have found that the more authentic I am, the happier I am as a rule.  the more I make peace with myself - this multifaceted being - the happier I am.  for me this means accepting that I will sometimes be sad, angry, frustrated, irritable, or other "unpleasant" things and allowing those emotions to have my attention, to explore and see what might be the root of them.  I do go out of my way to give my body proper nutrition and exercise and good doses of sunshine and moon rays and sleep and dreaming and I do go out of my way to give my ears good music and my eyes/brains good things to read or look at, be it nature or art or the faces of those I love.  I do go out of my way to take time to be quiet and I do go out of my way to spend time with loved ones who make me think and make me laugh and allow me to just be, whatever I am.  I do go out of my way to give something back to the world that has allowed me to live and breathe.  By doing those things, I think I am allowing myself more happiness and joy and sometimes opening myself up for some sorrow--  and even being able to experience genuine joy and genuine sorrow in the same moment.

Has anyone here read this book.....  The Bitch, the Crone, and the Harlot by Susan Schachterle?

I came over to Gaia to ask this specific question.  I was led here in a roundabout way by starting with a vow to STUDY spanish tonight-- all evening.  I want to transpose a bunch of different notebooks into one notebook, but I don't seem to be capable of doing so.  I walked in the door after work and cleared the decks (moved all the clutter off the bar where my computer sits and made a clean space for studying.).  I brought a beer (Fat Tire) and some Crostini and all my Spanish notebooks as well as Barron's 501 Spanish Verbs and some colored pencils into the space.  I fired up Pandora Radio -- asked it to make a station that plays Shakira, Rupa & the April Fishes (I want to be an April Fish -- in my mind -- a multi talented FarlandFish-like Pisces, only born in April,  & overflowing with creativity), Nelly Furtado, Juana Molina, Lhasa de Sela and the Buena Vista Social Club.  [Lynette - more suggestions for this weird lineup - to help me study spanish?  or anyone else -- suggestions??]  {I love Pandora -- It just started playing Black Eyed Peas' song "I Gotta Feelin'" -- which in my mind is not the least bit connected to the above artists, but I love, love, love this song and will.i.am   hmmm}   I convinced my email to sort out all the dictionary.com Spanish Word of the Day emails and pulled out my flash cards from previous study sessions.  I then used the search feature on Mail to search for Word of the Day emails with each vocabulary word in them.  Then I wrote out sentences with translations from the emails using the examples from the Word of the Day emails in my special new notebook - spanish words in purple, english words in orange, though now I'm thinking of switching them around.  I also wrote song titles en español y en inglés in my little notebook and then I started wondering about Shakira's story and looked her up on wikipedia and decided I wanted to buy a certain album because of how easy it was for me to understand the spanish words in a certain song so I went over to the itunes store, but then I decided I wanted to buy the actual disk of a certain song because (I hope) it might have the lyrics written out in spanish in the liner notes and it would be fun to read along while listening {I love to do that with some english songs too}.  so then I went over to amazon and found the album in question {Pies Descalzos - Barefoot?  Barefeet?  Naked feet?}, but amazon will give me free shipping if I buy at least $25 worth of STUFF and the album was only $6.99 so I remembered I wanted to buy the updated version of Pronoia and oh look!  people who liked that album of Shakira's also really liked the soundtrack to "El Amor en los Tiempos del Colera".  So I clicked to listen to a sample of the songs and by golly I do REALLY like them, so into the cart it goes and then {!por supuestro!} look - people who bought Pronoia also bought the book which led me to come over to gaia to ask...  "has anyone here read this book?"  and now it's an hour later and I realize that I much prefer to explore the spanish language than to study it.  hmmm.  I think it might take longer initially if I am trying to learn it this way and it might not get me the best grades on tests, but I think I'll have a deeper, truer understanding if I keep exploring it instead of just memorizing grammar rules and vocabulary.  plus -- my exploring way is WAY more fun.  but I want a good grade on the test so now.....

ahora voy a estudiar más español.  (I wrote than sentence without looking up any words or double checking with a translation website -- progress!!  yippee!!  - it means -- now I am going to study more Spanish.  it doesn't say -- right after I check out of my amazon shopping cart.   ¡ay diós mio- ayúdame!) 

buenas noches - los que están tan cerca de mi corazón

oh yeah -- what does this have to do with the question of the day, "what is your relationship to luxury?"  I love luxury.  I love that I gave myself the luxury of taking the time to explore and to share what I found. 

ps-- tink - at lunch I ate spicy lentil soup and tried to read the first page of "el alquimista".  I had to look up a lot of words, but it was good.  I think I could manage about a page a day at the moment, but I won't quit.  :-)

What was the last thing you remember being in awe of?

New York City knocked my socks off.  It's not the last thing that awed me.  I tend to get awed several times a day, but right now I am thinking of NYC because I have been browsing through the photographs I made when we were there, the only time I ever have been, for a week in the autumn of 2007. 

Oh and here's something that I just discovered -- Rupa & the April Fishes -- they are wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, awesome, amazing, glorious, joyful, relevant, and great for listening to while looking at photographs of a trip to New York City with a teenage Jordan and an ageless Farland. 

NYC album 1 - fragments of the perambulation

NYC album 2 - perambulation fragments

NYC album 3 - wandering not quite aimlessly

NYC album 4 - overstimulation continued - met, postcrypt, central park, museum of natural history

NYC album 5 - next stop brooklyn, then liberty


I'm awed by how much has happened since then, how time goes by, how the world and the people in it change and grow, how I change and grow, how some people die or go away and others arrive or breathe their first breath.  I'm awed by the magical and the mundane.  did I say how much I love this music??  I'm listening to este mundo right now.  I'm awed by este mundo (this world), the song, the album and indeed, this world.  :-)

What does God mean to you?

Fill in the blank: "God is ________________."

God is love. 

Love, love, love.....  

(the link is Sara Bareilles, Live at the Fillmore - can't embed it here - if you want more of this click here.) 

You can see God in her.  You can hear God in her. 

"Only one good thing worth trying to be and it's LOVE."  and "Only gonna get get what you give away." 

my thoughts exactly.

as soon as I saw that fill in the blank, "God is......  "  I thought LOVE.  and as soon as I thought that, Sara's "Bottle it Up" song popped into my head and I had to share it with you all. 


but before the question, before that song popped into my head I was listening to this......  (Melody Gardot, which also will not embed, but here you have the link.  methinks this is possibly the very coolest video I have seen in a long time.  note the bubbles and the reflection of the men dancing in the bathwater-- oh swoon.) 

I must say a HUGE THANK YOU to tara for gifting me with the knowledge of Melody's music.  yum.  yum.  yum. 

I think I must think that "God is Music."  as well as "God is Love."  or maybe I mean that I can hear God in music. 

God?  Goddess?  I think what I think of as GOD is both male and female, not more one that the other and neither too. 

I just finished reading, "eat pray love" by Elizabeth Gilbert.  inside of that book are some interesting ideas about GOD that I tend to agree with.  and I've also just finished reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollen which had me thinking about where we humans fit in this "creation", this "universe"--this one song. 

and today after an hour of sitting in complete stillness with a smile and listening and then an hour and a half of bikram yoga which felt almost like a fast dance after the sitting, I sat on the edge of the bed and saw out of the corner of my eye a magazine that has been on the shelf for a very long time-- the December 2003 Yoga Journal-- and I started perusing it and found an article about the Compassionate Listening Project (here is the article on the web) and that led me here-- www.compassionatelistening.org and I've now ordered the book "Listening with the Heart" and that brought me full circle here because Laurie often reminds us to "listen with your heart". 

and that makes me realize that I think that GOD is YOU and GOD is ME and GOD is mountains and sky and rivers and streams and monkeys and bananas and oceans and fish and music and dancing and loving and breathing and laughing and tears and hearts broken and overjoyed again.  We are GOD even when we are not particularly good.  but maybe it's easier for us to recognize the GOD in ourselves when we feel good- when we feel that we are on the right path.

Now I'm going to go pretend that I'm learning how to say all this in Spanish.  I've been spending a lot of time in English - the only books I've read in Spanish are from the children's library.  Me muy gusta "Un Leon en la bibiloteca"

oh yeah --- I KNOW without a doubt that God is in the library.  ;-)

is it time for something new?

Posted on Nov 11th, 2009 by synonym for light : pliable provocateur synonym for light
Img_0043__1_
this (below) is what my recorded subliminal voice has been saying to myself almost daily for a little more than a year.  I'm about to order the next deeper level of Holosync and I'm trying to decide if I should rewrite/record the things my own subliminal voice says to me.  any thoughts on the matter??

The reason that I live and breathe is love. 

I am happy and grateful for this moment.  This moment is my life.

I breathe deeply and live life fully.  With each inhale I accept all gifts and with each exhale I give all that I have.

I embrace every moment of this magical life with love, imagination and gratitude. 

I am intelligent and interested in everything.  I am fascinated by people, by life, by the earth and all it's creatures, by the universe -- the multi-verses. 

I love to listen.  I love to see.  I love to taste, smell, feel and touch.  I love to sing and to dance.  I love to make people laugh and smile.  I radiate warmth and friendship to all.  I love myself and others unconditionally and I nurture myself and others in every way. My relationships are passionate, exciting, and fun, based on integrity and respect. I communicate with openness and integrity at all times. I relate easily to people in all kinds of situations. I am comfortable and confident in all my relationships. I constantly notice positive traits about my lover, my friends, my family members, my co-workers; everyone. 

My dreams are big and I follow them enthusiastically, exuberantly, and joyfully.  I have within me the imagination, intelligence, strength, patience, and passion to do anything and everything that I wish. 

I can see and feel a whole, healthy planet, in balance.  I can see and feel the whole of humanity in love with one another, working playfully, joyfully, and passionately for the good of each other and the whole planet.  I can see, feel, hear, taste and smell a heaven on earth.  It feels perfect.  I am so thankful to be alive at this time.  I am so grateful for the unlimited resources available to me and through me. 

I give and I receive.  I love and I receive love.  I listen and I am heard.  I share and the world shares with me. 

What I sow I reap and I sow love and peace and joy everyday.

I have a captivating style that is all my own. I contribute a unique magic to the world and it comes back to me a thousand fold. 

I live in my strength and lustre.  I am beautiful inside and out.  I am unlimited.  I am valuable.

I love the simple pleasures in life - the smile of a child, a laugh of delight, walking my dogs around a quiet morning or lazy evening neighborhood, cutting the grass, tending a garden, enjoying a sunset, a sunrise or a moonlit night in the presence of my love. 

I learn and teach effortlessly; languages, yoga, dance, song, science, math, history, photography, peacemaking, everything.  I am a joyful lifelong learner and generous teacher.  I teach by example.  I speak my truth and walk my talk.  I love sharing my successes with others and seeing them succeed.  I see every challenge as an opportunity. 

My body, mind and soul grow healthier and stronger each day.  My eyes see more clearly each day.  My ears hear more clearly each day.  Every cell in my body radiates perfect health.  I find time to enjoy exercise everyday;  yoga or walking, biking, hiking or dancing and, yes - of course!, sensual lovemaking.  My body loves to move and stretch and play and I love my body.  My body is strong, supple, slender, and beautiful; radiating health.  My skin glows. I am at my perfect weight, healthy in every way.  I respect my body and the resources of Mother Earth by eating only those foods that I need to maintain perfect health and vitality.  Everything that I eat is part of the whole web of life.  I am deeply grateful for the nourishment and life that I receive from each bite of food, each sip of water and each breath of air that fills my lungs.  Every cell in my body works together in perfect harmony to create perfect health just as every organism on Earth can work together in perfect harmony to create a paradise. 

I sleep just enough every night and awaken feeling wonderful and alive.  I live every day with power and passion. I feel strong and excited.  I feel tremendous confidence that I can do anything.  I contribute to the world in a meaningful way and am paid back a thousand- fold. I manage my money, time and other resources wisely.  I willingly jump at the opportunity to serve others.  It is fun and easy to take action toward my goals.  I can be, do and have everything I want.   The more I act, the more I succeed.  I am deeply grateful for the freedom to act and move toward my goals.  My capabilities and potential are unlimited.  I am expressing my potential more and more each day.  I give myself permission to have what I want.  I honor myself and others at all times.  I am open to opportunities.  I am willing to accept the best life has to offer with an attitude of gratitude.  I believe in unlimited possibilities.  All my needs, desires, and goals are met instantaneously for I am one with everything.

 

When I feel deprived of something I remember that to give is to receive.  I am always giving and always receiving.  I am always loving and always receiving love in return.  I am always teaching and always learning.  I love the adventure of learning.  I grow everyday.  I embrace change.  I overcome challenges.  I care and I dare.  I know life is beautiful.   I find joy in loving and beauty in giving. 

Everyday I explore, dream & discover. 

I am a living sign of love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds. 

I am so grateful that my senses are wide awake to the wild beauty and abundance of this life.................

November 30 day yoga challenge and fund raiser!!!

Posted on Nov 1st, 2009 by synonym for light : pliable provocateur synonym for light
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 31, 2009:

Della_bursts_the_bubble
The question for yesterday was "What role do you like to play?"  Right now I seem to want most to be a helper.  I like to think of myself as a strong, flexbile, open hearted, generous, dynamic, fun human being.  To that end I am challenging myself to attend 30 yoga classes in 30 days this month and I am challenging my friends, acquaintances, and family members to make a commitment to donating money, time or other resources to a cause that is near and dear to them.

Here's the plan....

I'll commit to doing the yoga.  Each day, I'll post how much yoga I practiced.  Some days I'll have to double up because other days I won't be able to attend yoga due to work and school constraints.  I am also committing to donating $5 per yoga class that I complete to Cambodian Children's Fund.  I already sponsor a child through the Cambodian Children's Fund, but I really want to do more to help and this is my way of doing so for the month of November.   This video of yoga teacher Seane Corn talking about her trip to Cambodia, is part of the reason why I want to help.  Also, last summer I wrote an essay about what I would change in the world.  The words of the essay stated my heart's desire and my intention.  Now I am taking action and putting my money where my mouth is.  You can read about the Cambodian Children's Fund at their website...   www.cambodianchildrensfund.com   This cause is near and dear to my heart because they are doing so much -- providing clean water, food, education, health care, leadership training & arts and cultural opportunities-- building community and providing nourishment to bodies and souls. <3

Anyone who wants to can make a commitment to do the same OR commit to donate another amount of money, a certain amount of time, or some other resource to the helping organization of their choice.  I know that most of my family, friends and acquaintances have big hearts and great intentions.  Some have deeper pockets than others.  Some have more time than others.  Some have other causes that are important to them.  In this month of Thanksgiving, I'm putting out a call to other hearts, bodies and souls to join me in taking some concrete action to make the world a better place.  What does that mean to you?  Is it simply renewing a commitment you've already made?  Maybe it's time for something new? 

I make no claims to know what's right for another person.  I just know how great it feels to be a part of a team and I know how great it feels to be able to help out, in large and small ways.  This month I say thank you to all the wonder in the world and I bow in gratitude that I can be a small part of making some small corner of the world a better place to live and breathe. 

"and the reason that I live and breathe is - oh -  love"   ~ee cummings

If you want to play with me this month -- just post a comment here and at the end of the month we'll tally up the number of classes and off we'll each go to follow through with the commitments we've made.  I do not have any intention of collecting money and delivering it to any organization.  I do not want to be a middleman.  At the end of the month everyone will simply go to the organization they've selected and make their donation of whatever they have chosen to donate. 

so... who's playing?? 

with love & gratitude

What would you most like to see changed in the world?

Posted on Nov 1st, 2009 by synonym for light : pliable provocateur synonym for light
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 07, 2009:

"If you could snap your fingers, or wave a wand, and change one thing about the world, what would it be?"

recently I was given an assignment to write an essay about one thing I would change in the world, if I could magically change anything.  here's the answer....
 

If anything were possible—and I do believe that anything is indeed possible given the right amounts of imagination, ingenuity, determination, dedication and good, old fashioned hard work—what is the one change I would make in the world?   After countless hours of contemplation on this subject, I have come to the conclusion that I would make all existing human communities into sustainable communities.  This is a tall order, but I believe that it is entirely possible. 

I’ll start by describing the type of community I have in mind.  A sustainable community, to me, is one that meets the needs of its current population without damaging the prospects of future generations or stealing the resources of other communities.  When I think of human needs I think of these things:  

  

  • clean, fresh air to breathe
  • clear, clean, fresh water to drink
  • nourishing, nutrition-filled food
  • shelter
  • clothing
  • family, friends, community
  • education
  • transportation
  • cultural enrichment--art, music, literature, dance, etc
  • health care, medicine, preventative care
  • religious & intellectual freedom

  

In order to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land on which we grow our food, the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers would be strictly regulated and the use of natural pest control and fertilizers would be encouraged.  In order to conserve our dwindling fossil fuel supplies and again, protect our shared air, water and land, all buildings would use wind or solar or micro-hydro power for their electricity needs.  We would use passive solar, thermal mass and natural convection for heating and cooling our living and working spaces.  We would use the water that falls from the sky to drink and wash, then reuse that water to irrigate our food plants, then reuse the water draining from our planters for flushing our toilets, after which that water would be returned to the earth for filtering.  (We could actually eliminate the use of water in toilets entirely.  There are now numerous affordable options for clean and efficient composting and incinerating toilets.)  New buildings could be designed this way, older buildings could be retrofitted to be super efficient. We would abolish “throwaway” products.  We would more highly value products that can last a lifetime.  We would reduce, reuse, recycle and repair.  In our closed system, the Earth, nothing would be thought of as “trash”, but rather as a precious resource.  In a sustainable community, work, school, shopping, entertainment, and living places could be within walking or bicycling distance from one another.  Bicycle and pedestrian pathways would be the rule rather than the exception.  We would have high speed, affordable, high quality, and efficient mass transit in every city on every continent.

When we think of Planet Earth, our shared home, as one large community we see that the wellbeing of each one of us is tied to and dependent upon the wellbeing of every other one of us.  We currently have many types of human communities across the globe, but we are indeed one large interdependent community, as well.  Abraham Lincoln said, “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.”   In my mind the same applies to resources.  Those who would deny resources (clean air, water, food, shelter, clothing, education, transportation) to others deserve them not for themselves.  By using more than our fair share of limited resources (fossil fuels, metals, water) we deny others their fair share--others in poorer countries and future generations.  By polluting the air we all share and breathe, we deny others the basic resource of fresh air.  Often, by buying cheap, throwaway goods, we deny others a living wage, a fair wage, and in so doing we deny them access to nourishing food, comfortable shelter, and quality education.  In order for our individual communities and our one large community to be sustainable, we must all be aware of whether or not we are using more than our fair share.

Our planet currently supports the lives of more than 6.7 billion human beings.   According to the World Watch Institute, we can expect 3 billion more to join us in the next 50 years for a projected population of almost 10 billion by the year 2060.   I believe that we currently have the resources, ingenuity, know how and man (or woman) power to meet all the needs of every human on this planet and to do so without robbing future generations of the resources they will need to survive and thrive.  What we lack is the collective will to do so.  But I believe, passionately, that we are at a turning point and that this is not the time to lose hope.  I believe that the future of humanity can be bright and joyful.  Will you join me in making this idea a reality?

When did you last find someone?

hmmmm.  I've found several new friends at school this semester and last semester.  the largest smile on my face this month was when I was leaving the library after spending an hour taking turns reading to a new friend in spanish and having her read to me in english.  her first language is spanish and my first language is english so we were able to help each other with pronunciation and comprehension.  I learned a few other things from my new friend too and tomorrow we are going to spend another hour reading to each other and learning from each other before class.  I don't know if I found her or she found me, but we are happy to have found one another.  :-)  I feel like every day is an opportunity to find a new friend or be found by one or to rediscover an old friend or be rediscovered by one.  and of course, everyday is an opportunity to renew and refresh the friendships that I am surrounded by everyday, through appreciation.  :-)

the photograph is from my phone, it's the view from the restaurant where I went to study tonight.  it was incredibly noisy because a football game was playing on the tv in the bar area and people were cheering their heads off.  perhaps it was an unlikely place to get some studying done, but it was the best 1 and half hours of study time I've gotten in all week.  I guess I just needed some deafening white noise to be able to think straight.  ???

What's the most soothing or calming music you know?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 08, 2009:

I love that this is the question.  I love this question right now. 

I have been without a voice for a couple of days - a seeming side affect of having the flu (a mild case in comparison to some around here).  today i could not go to work at my 911 job because of a lack of voice.  as tink said, "I hate it when I call 911 and a mime answers".  that made me laugh (silently). 

so, last night I was kind of lonely when adam was at work and I was at home on the sofa with a fever and no voice.  farland called to say hi and when I answered she couldn't hear me.  I really had to struggle to let her know I was there. 

It looked like another lonely night at home with adam at work and saving my weak voice for work tomorrow, when I remembered that I can still type and I can still chat online and I can still listen to music.  why did it not occur to me last night that music was still an option?  my ears aren't broken?  well --- tonight adam went off to work and I fired up my iTunes and I'm listening to Lhasa de Sela now.  and it's making me feel amazing --- I'm dancing around in my pjs and singing along in my head and hearing things that I haven't heard before in this music even though I've listened many many times.  some of the spanish words mean something to me now, whereas before they were simply gorgeous mysteries.  I love listening to music with complexity in the composition and mystery in the lyrics -- particularly music with lyrics in a language I don't speak.  as I learn to speak and understand spanish each of these songs changes for me.  like solving a puzzle. 

as I danced and listened I decided to try to catch up on the laundry.  so as I'm folding laundry and putting it away I'm taking out certain articles of clothing to send to the thrift store-- the ones that aren't me anymore and I put some of them on to find out if they are still me or maybe not- and I put on the one in the photo above, thinking it's not really me anymore and then, once it's on, and I'm dancing in it, I think, why not??  it feels different now than last time and I think it must be the music I'm listening to.  I decide to keep it, the dress, and to wear it at home when I'm alone and dance and feel beautiful and mysterious.  

lhasa de sela radio on last.fm
lhasa biography on last.fm

I know I posted a lhasa video last time I popped up here, but I think that's okay.  each time I listen to her music I hear something new, inside of something comfortable and familiar, and each time I try to find a link to post here, I learn something new about her. 

it's her album, "the living road" that I am most enamoured of. 

gracias por leer.

xoxo
