Just shine a light

Lunar Eclipse

A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth so that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The next total lunar eclipse will occur on December 21, 2010 at 8:17 UTC.

I am...

I am starting to just feel bruised and beat up by you. You always take the first punch. And I can't take many more.

I...

I know its not always easy...

I really adore...

I like it when....

...i open up my moleskin journal.....

...and all the pictures I brought to Burning Man....

...of you & I....

....flutter out!

SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON - THE QUEST
DEC 5

Sunday's New Moon in Sagittarius (exact at 111:37am) emphasizes 'The Quest'. At the core of our being, what are we searching for. Every 'question' is a 'quest I (am) on' for information, revelation, transformation, exaltation. This particular New Moon is conjunct what is known as the 'Great Attractor' - the direction in space toward which our own galaxy and scores of others, billions of stars, multi-billions of points of consciousness, are all being drawn. When a point in space 'aligns', the energy or harmonic of that direction becomes temporarily available. A time for breakthroughs. Who are we as a collective? And how do we change the world?


Do you want to try and use this moon? We shall both be together. It's at 12:37am Michigan time. I know that is an awkward time on Sunday. But maybe whatever it is, is only 5 minutes.

little lion man...

no weeping
we are brave
graceful
bold
we have not fucked up...
no ones fault
no scores to settle
both our hearts are in line.
loving the journey..even the hard parts of it.

now lets get to fucking some real shit up,
my dear!

xo

the only thing missing tonight....

was you..

"I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer…"

- Rainer Maria Rilke

Thank You. Forever.

New Transformation

My whole perspective is different.

It's hard to tell you right now that: I have come around the bend. My heart has opened. My mind has cleared.

The thing I had been waiting for, for so long. It gave way. I broke through.

Thank you so much for helping me get there. I cannot thank enough.

I want to chronicle my re-awakening. I will do that here: http://gandhiwars.blogspot.com/

I hope you are having a nice and peaceful day.

Break Through

Break through. Break through. Break through.

Those two words and my intentions at my heart need to be my mantra.

Break through. Break through. Break through.

And yeah, it's scary. but if we beelieve in it- at the same time. I think it's possible.

we have no need to keep score...

i like this song ..

Equinox..

thank you for pausing me long enough last night to ponder the moon under which i was learning the tradition of Maori women so that we can one day under a fuller moon perform something brilliant together.

Honey moons

and the first holiday will be in September to celebrate Honey month!!

closer closer

closer still...

counting down the moments til i get to see you again...

so soon..

14 and a half hours.


<3

two halves that make a whole...

they follow me around my apartment with the lights on or off ...











they offer me comfort, warmth, light and contentment...and i can not wait to give you yours!










they have even gone to the island with me!

each day i pray....

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it.....






..and i hope that each new day is better than the previous...

i do remember....

to this day....still...




...and will not soon forget what you remember... and i do not expect you to forgot though i do ask for forgiveness...




....when you are ready.

i pray ..

for time to move quickly in order to pass this moment ...knowing full well that it will not but with patience and gentle love and support there is the other side of all of this......and i wish to stand by you through this as you have stood with me...and i hope we will continue forward together.

rainbows and moon beams

last year July i heard this song during ceremony. it made me cry so hard for what i was doing and the path i was asking to take. i have cried deep tearful sorrowful cries Everytime ive heard it since for that was when i asked for my heart for find a place for you somewhere besides where it was in the front and in the center. oh the lessons i have learned from that request, that arrogant not well formed request i asked of my heart, my heart which took so long to open and love freely i ignorantly asked for it to not love, what was i thinking...be careful what you wish for because you may have your request granted...oh and i will forever regret that request....forever. the time it has taken me to thin the threads of my requests that weekend and open fully to you has been long, oh so long. too long and your patience has been tested time and time again.

but i knew weeks ago as the anniversary of that date approached that i was in a new, better place. and last night i was at home having a wonderful evening full of energy and love and talking to you as you traveled to playa.. then i heard that ukulele come across on the marley pandora station.

I know THAT song, for it is ingrained and etched on my soul, it Is the song from my visit with grandmother and as it played it did not strike that cord inside me of sadness as it has every time since a year ago..no this time i knew it meant something so different... it washed over me with love and happiness and amazing thoughts of the full moon that night i heard it and of the moon last night. i stared at the moon that July night and closed myself to the moon, i felt i had to as she represented a part of my heart. a part i shared with you.

When you came back so did the moon, slowly and over time she has grown in my life again. i am so grateful i am open to her again; to her rhythmic motions, her guidance, her light, her waves..her love. i am so grateful we share her nightly on this realm and others.

Last night my heart swelled listening to that song...as i thought of you. I dreamt of a huge full rainbow last night...and in that dream i stopped us so we could enjoy it. i so can not wait 2 listen to that song with you, and start following all the rainbows in our life.

til then i share it all with the moon. xoxo

Quick before i go...

i don't need more

time.


the intentions i had been carrying next to my heart for those 2 weeks before i showed you last weekend..were intentions i knew would come true because i willed them. thank you for letting me share them with you and for being a part of them...for being them.




(i know its a silly band but i like them and there words..and i want you to hear them as if speak them to you)

i sooo love

kissing you

and i need ...

to see the roots pulled from the ground... that we have been trying to put firmly and gently underground with so many fits and starts....















and like a bebe shoot wanting to grow



























i know that trust will take time to build again. And like the bebe shoot i know it is tender and needs attention and love and care to grow strong to weather the storm. and i look forward to tending to this garden.

and i am blessed that you are with me in this endeavor.

I do need.....

i do need to hear that you are sorry. i am learning to state my needs.




I am also learning that this is something that is going to loom over me for awhile. Everyday.
I know you know what it's like. So I don't have to explain. I want to move through it- but it may take time.
As this settles into me, I am learning how it affects me in lots of new ways.

I Am

I am learning. And I know you are too.

I know...

I know its kind of silly. I know its only ink on a whiteboard. I know its just a symbol.

But for me sigils are powerful things. And I didnt keep it by my heart yesterday- and that sucks- because i wish I would have.

I want to be, and I am, those three things. Strong, Gentle, and True.

It wont all be fixed in a day.....but I do feel like we are on the path.

35mm

So I developed those 2 disposables.....

And to my surprise, they both were from interesting start times. One of them had some photos of my christmas this year, a little LOF, and some other stuff.
The other one had some pictures from my vacation two winters ago- from the cruise.

I just chose a few to throw up here. But I would like to share the other ones with you later too!


I remember taking this photo so i could share my xmas tree with you!
Did you take a 35mm photo of your xmas tree this year? Lemme know. I have an idea!


Silly picture of me in bathroom at my parents


Sunset in excelsior on the frozen lake. This is what I used to look at when I was working at that movie theater....


Just a little closer....just a little closer......



LOF


Our Bowls! I'm sorry you broke yours! :( Sad face. :(
