October 15 wrist surgery

SUMMARY= I am getting wrist surgery to take metal out of my right
wrist on October 15... please pray for a smooth surgery and my speedy
wholistic healing! Thanks. Read on if you wish. : )

我在十月十五號動手術, 把鐵片拿出我的右手腕。 請為我禱告! 感恩。


THE WHOLE EMAIL=

Namaste, beautiful dear friend!

Happy full moon, happy autumn, happy Chinese Moon Festival! May the
fullness of the moon tonight reflect the fullness of your life. May
you be healthy and happy in all ways and full enough to... empty your
overflowing bowl. Sit as an empty bowl in trust and prayer that you
will be filled up again, even more lusciously than before.

I am ready to empty my bowl.

Metal in my wrist--- time to take it out, let it go, break myself down
again, nourish and build myself back up even stronger. I learn, we
learn... what?

Surrender.
Surrender.
Surrender.

On October 15, my right wrist is getting cut open again, metal plate
and screws removed from my radius bone with loving fingers and precise
tools: goodbye metal--- hello pure bone, sweet flesh, whole being.
Hello, surrender. Hello, empty bowl. Hello, new life.

The healing process afterwards: dull-looking cocoons contain
hibernating caterpillars dying and rebirthing to one day become
butterflies--- nothing is ever only what we can see. Look below the
waters. Feel beyond the surface. Relax, feel, and surrender. Allow
yourself to be moved. Squint your eyes, blur your vision, and allow
your Visions.

Intention and alignment with Spirit/ Creator are the root and stem of
all magic and healing. Please pray for me on October 15 for my 9 AM
surgery (USA Eastern time is 9 PM on October 14; 7 PM for USA Western
time). Please pray as well, for the moments, days, weeks, and months
afterwards of patient loving healing for full recovery of my right
wrist, as I rest and rebuild myself to radiate as brightly as possible
for the unwritten script of the rest of my life--- as a butterfly.

With all my Heart: Love you. Thank you. Bless you.

PS- thanks so much for all your helpful insight regarding whether or
not to take out the metal! I feel very well-informed and supported in
my decision. If you have any suggestions for healing and wholing after
surgery, please share! Thank you SO much with all my heart!

PPS- yeah, I'm back in Taiwan. Doing the surgery and recovering here.
I'm in a great place- as always. Thanks, Universe. Don't know how long
I will stay here. Again, I surrender- and welcome Unknown--- with an
eye and intention out for a Home-home. : )

PPPS- I hope you fully appreciate just how amazing all the tiny parts
of your body are! Look in the mirror and say "Thank you" to your body-
and never take walking, talking, typing, or anything else for granted.
Always give thanks, and live fully embodied completely deliciously. :
) Enjoy!

(福州). This mandala has infinite stories to tell- look closely, and see
yourself, and the whole Universe, reflected within. 2- I am overjoyed
to return to Taiwan, the gorgeous green island behind me, on the ship
from Fuzhou, China to Jeelong, Taiwan.)

The Fall: 6 years

six years ago
gravity grabbed little crow flying
and crashed her down to make her his own 
grinding her into mountain mush, blood and bone stew on stone
she lived 

now 
yoga teacher rises into headstand
arms shaking in arm balance postures 
two hands of uneven pressure
tears of focus and frustration 

soon enough 
second surgery to remove the metal from the first surgery
then no more surgeries
rest, recovery, deep dreams, solid strengthening 
and a burning inner fire

small suns radiating from belly, heart, throat, and head
eyes shining from face, hands, and feet
earth crow singing in the dead of night
take these broken wings and learn to fly 

powerful black wings shining forth all the colors of the rainbow

pupate

wake up 
cells dancing 
on stage of life 
poetry manifest 
in each breath
creation and destruction 
shiva shakti 
balance 
push pull reach hold
allow surrender 
trust
giving more than receiving
living to serve 
i
am
yours
my dear fellow caterpillars 
sink down into the shadow 
weave it around you 
feel the fear
bask in the musky dark
be the still silent 
center
in the middle of the movement 
feel your insides 
wriggling and twisting
transforming and exploding
painful
pupation 
let the magic
shine forth
aching rays 
of screaming sunlight
streaming out
wings emerging
exploding
death of an old known 
birth of a new unknown known 
dear universe of gay great illuminitably everything 
nothing 
mountains that rise and sink with the rise and fall of my belly and chest
each in and out breath
cells dancing 
atoms imploding exploding exploring dances
dreaming within dreams of dreams dreamed
dreamer, who? 
dear birds drifting on drafts rising from ancient chasms
soaring cliffs steeply dropping down
roaring waterfalls caressing endless sunsets and moonrises
world of great magic beauty 
dear small still silent cocoons hanging old and dry on dead branches 
wake up
wake up 
wake up 
the
time
is
   N   O   W

dragon

we're more than halfway through the auspicious year of the dragon,
that highly prophesized-about year 2012

time to embrace that dragon energy and spit some fire
