Dancing today.

Each task I take on today I will dance with it and thru it. Taking the music that comes my way and dancing, letting my body move with the vibration, respond to the sound.

Today I will dance on the ecstatic path.

Generosity

Being generous always seems to smooth  me out. When I am generous I seem to attract my own good feelings from within. Generosity seems to be a salve for me. To give a little of anything, it could be a kind word or a bit of encouragement, makes me feel better about me. I feel and can experience that I am doing something that is generative and constructive.

Today I will be generous. Smiling ❤

Getting the JOB Done

Sometimes there is great joy in getting the job completed. Sometimes it feels like it was a lot of work. Sometimes it takes a lot of conversation and conflict resolution. Sometimes it just takes looking and sampling and trying it all out over and over and over… The process of getting a job to completion can sometimes seem interminable. Then finally there comes a point and one can say… Is this complete? Have I done all I can do?

Finally when you can answer… Yes, I have done all I can do.

Acknowledging that the job is complete. That all that can be done has been done…

I adore that moment when you can breathe a sigh of relief. Know that the job is done and that the process of doing can rest and the moments for acknowledgement can take place.

Tony and I just bought a new car. We have not bought a car in 20 years and this was a pleasure. We got to look and sample and do all kinds of research. Then we got to go out and test drive and finally after all of our exploration we made the choice and took the leap. The job is done.The work of making a choice is complete.

The new car will be here sometime next week. I am looking forward to the pleasure of all that is new and exciting… ❤

“You must ask for what you really want…”
 
Life is amazing when you begin to ask. Life begins to happen. That life is happening brings trust that we will be heard. Being heard means asking for more. Asking for more brings abundance. Abundance builds and grows in other areas and soon we can have a life that is full of what we have been asking for.
 
Don’t go back to sleep…

Thanks to Harry Faddis for the art and to Rumi for the poem and to all of the seekers who have carried this image with them, that I might have the honour to share.

Today is a day of Generating new elements of my life…

This came across LOUD and CLEAR this morning! Thanks to FR for posting and thanks to the author and creator.

This is your LIFE. Do what you love and do it often.

“If you don’t like something, CHANGE it. If you don’t like you job, QUIT. If you don’t have enough time, STOP watching TV.

“If you are looking for the LOVE of your life, STOP. They will be waiting for you when you start doing the things you LOVE.

“STOP over analyzing, LIFE IS SIMPLE. All emotions are beautiful when you EAT, appreciate every last BITE.

Open your MIND, ARMS and HEART to new things and people. We are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see, what their passion is and share your inspiring dream with them.

TRAVEL often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, SEIZE them.

LIFE is about the people we meet, and the things we create with them so GO OUT and START CREATING.

LIFE IS SHORT. Live your dream and WEAR your PASSION.”

LOVE LIFE ~ Do what you LOVE and LOVE what you do.

Emerging from the test on Friday. Today is Monday and I feel like I just woke up after a long sleep. All went well. I am curious to see where this flows to next.

My heart is open and clear. My heart leaps with JOY!

In Blackwater Woods

by Mary Oliver
 
Look, the trees
are turning
their own bodies
into pillars of light,
are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment,

the long tapers
of cattails
are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders

of the ponds,
and every pond,
no matter what its
name is, is

nameless now.
Every year
everything
I have ever learned

in my lifetime
leads back to this: the fires
and the black river of loss
whose other side

is salvation,
whose meaning
none of us will ever know.
To live in this world

you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

Reading today.

Preparing for a diagnostic surgery tomorrow. I am preparing for what will happen tomorrow and creating some time over the weekend for recovery.

I am reading, “The Velvet Rage: Overcoming the Pain of Growing Up Gay in a Straight Man’s World”. Having read a few pages I have an inkling now that this read is going to be a valuable and informative journey. My first response… “I wish … that man who was my primary teacher and trainer while I was training to become a counsellor had read this… Perhaps he would have been more empathetic as a gay man working with other gay men…”

This is going to be a delightful ride, a ride and a read and a rest that I am looking forward to. I am sure this book will take my mind off of the fear and wondering about the surgical procedure taking place tomorrow, I have this thought that this read will sooth me and help me rejuvenate.

Today I will be happy and joyful and in the pleasure of being me… AS PINK AS THAT IS!

Furry PINK DICKS on my rampant Glads ❤

Sexy Excitement is what is dwelling in my Juicy Heart this moment. ♥

Yes! I mean being in a state of anticipation, arousal, pleasure. Licking my chops at the thought of what is ahead.

  • There is nothing like looking at a problem as something that needs to be seduced.
  • There is nothing like experiencing tragedy as a rebirth.
  • There is nothing like taking a big deep breath in and letting it out with a full-bodied sound.
  • There is nothing like starting fresh with a constructive attitude.
  • There is nothing like the power of acceptance and LOVE.
  • There is nothing like the power of unbridled Desire.

Being joyful in the moment smiling and being proactive, working towards rather than running away or freezing in stillness. Using my HUMAN brain and the powers of my cognition. Actively using my ability and my skills to transform what I do not want into what I do want and desire. To live and manifest my dreams.

Today I will be filled with JOY and TRUST that I have the power to transform. ♥

Bologna, Italy December 25 2009

This gave me pleasure watching, one might even say it stimulated the voyeur in me.

Quirky – Weird – Odd – I experienced it as a bit of Magic

Perfect with my state of mind… And exciting my heart…
