organic

on full moon, first time climbing wall again since surgery

exhilarating, dangerous, and delicious

today, first time climbing a tree since surgery

feels amazing

i feel like i am a new born baby experiencing life for first time!

rock talk

on a spiritual path, the most important elements are:

1- connection with people

2- mind-body-spirit physical practice (ie. yoga, chigong, etc)

3- sitting meditation practice

rocktalk

leap

says the rock

lying in wait

on roadside

it's all interconnected

says roots locked together

under rock across road

ants living and crawling underneath

web of life

left-alone things GROW clipclop WAIT

RIPENING in sunshine, shadows, mindfields, spirit Oceans, and

body ELECTRIC thunder lightning brainSTORM spiral

kundalinicious AWAKENINGS

burst into flame

rock talk

all is full of motion

change is a constant

accept the imperfection

it is perfect

nothing stays the same

beneath nothing

flows everything

look

deeper

dialogue with rocks

it's the small things

that you walk by everyday

it's the everyday moments

strewn about like dust particles in the sun

that coalesce into something whole

all the little pieces

that dance together

merging, separating, and weaving seductively

the rhythms of our lives

my new project:

daily rock dialogues

i intend to share online as much as possible

and for the rest- i am working on myself

your inner nature

explodes to reveal its own brightness

constantly evolving and expanding

notice the small things

give thanks

connect with one small thing,

connect with the whole Universe

wrist

my body breathing

each heartbeat beat thump pull drawing me

deep deep dark deeper into my

self

dream of a shadowy landscape

owl chasing bat

flying at me

i birdcall out a warning

so they don't fly into me

i saw where i need to go

a brief flash of knowing before all went dark

i hold onto that sense of knowing

body filled with sensations of the dampness of earth

smells of rich soil and fermenting leaves

moonlight in my heart

guiding me

stillness and echoes

stardust and ashes

i know where i am going

wrist- healing slow yet fast

just right

teaching again on saturday

vocal opening/ improvisation

and spirited yoga

sunset now, moon in front, sun in back, blue sky transitioning, birdsong and car echoes a blanket over my sticky skin, sweating all day from slow dancing to my breath and inner shifu, drums roaring in my chest, no escape

welcome to the now of all pain, balance, joy, love, bliss, anger, chaos, still sweetness

open to flow

taiwan is chigong: flow

black and white balance

harmonious interplay of lights and shadows

looking in, smiling out

crying lots, laughing more

a daily celebration of moments

deep breaths and mindful nonmind states

open wrist

so here's what my cut-open wrist and the metal looks like... a nurse
took photo w cellphone during surgery

beautiful? haha- we are one thing on outside, another on inside-
amazing body, precious life

how does metal look to u?

after surgery, my hand looks like this now, all sewn up

after 8-10 days, doc says i can wash wrist again, and cut should be
healed by then

i will be working on restrengthening and re-stretching arm and hand
muscles and such, as soon as i can - probably after cut is totally
resealed

am still practicing chigong 4 hrs daily- much more gently- and
leg-asanas... and getting intimate w left hand

love u all - thanks for all your helpful and loving words, wisdom, and love
