Diving in DEEP with a JUICY Heart

Diving in DEEP helps me maintain a JUICY Heart. The excitement and thrill of going down deep, not knowing what to expect and being on the edge of the unknown is thrilling. For me this is like a Zip Line or a Roller Coaster. If I get on and get off and simply freeze in between, not breathing, not allowing for the experience, I will not enjoy or be a part of the experience. SO, I get on that Zip Line, ride that Roller Coaster and partake fully in the experience diving in deep, breathing fully and letting the experience move through my body. I might event laugh or scream or shake or giggle, cry or swear or be really messy. All of this expression is part of the experience part and allows me to be exactly how and who I am.  😉

I know and trust that the experience will carry me and that I am more me for partaking fully in all of the expereince.

Today I will TRUST and DIVE IN DEEP!

PROUD to be gay – a man – JUICY

One never knows what will present itself.

I was so glad to be witness to all that passed in front of me today.

I was glad to see a man walk by with his husband. It took me moment to recognize him. This man I knew. I had been witness to him. I had been partner to him. This man had hurt me more than anyone I have ever know has hurt me. Even more than my father. Even more than those nasty boys in the playing field. This man walked by. His swagger, his arrogance as it has always been. This man walked by and as so many I saw today walked by as a stranger.

I digested the experience of seeing this manly, man. I wondered why I experienced him as a stranger. I was glad to know that my hurt has subsided. I was glad to know that this man, who had lied to me and belittled me and castigated me for being me, was nothing more than a stranger. I am most grateful and glad for me, my power within, my radiant light, my beacon to myself.  I realized that I knew that nothing this man had told me was true and that really all of who and what I am is held in light. Nothing of all of the shame and self loathing that this man had put on me so many years ago was real. Those pieces of shame and hatred were his. I was able to revel in my own JUICY self. Knowing that I am the man I am. I need not rely on the negative and depreciating words of another man to describe myself.

I was so very grateful to have my own joyful and delicious self to proclaim to the world as me.

Gay, Queer, Loud, Proud full of all the JUICY Creative Energy that is ME!

Today I will be myself!

Giving…

The simple JOY of GIVING…

Giving JOYFULLY and with a WHOLE HEART. Giving until there is nothing left but JUICE

That was today and now I will sleep and dream and get up tomorrow and give again. There is nothing more or less, simply the charitable act of giving.

Getting WET! – JUICY today… June 30th 2011

Getting WET!

All day I have been dreaming about how nice it will be to be in the big outdoor pool swimming along… doing my best to swim the distance, dancing through the water.

Even though the day was stress and deadlines and “this has to be done NOW!”… Thinking about the pool and the meditative and balanced art of swimming has had me stay focused all day long. I have been looking forward to the stretch, the measured breathing and the ballet that my body does as I go length to length. I have been looking forward to the water and the sky and the coolness and the liquid feeling that I have as I get into the water, warm up my body to the workout and then go the distance.

Off to be wet and juicy and dance in that limpid blue pool.

Today I will be focused and enjoy the dream of what to pool can bring.

What was Juicy?

What Created Juice?

Today it was curiousity. Wondering what was around the next corner. Wondering what would happen next? Wondering what would appear throughout the day?

The day presented itself, many events happened, there were some successes, some wash outs, some total failures. None of these really mattered because it was all about what was going to appear next. Not getting stuck on any one element and trusting that there would be more or less that there would be a constant flow of next.

I enjoyed trusting today that there would be constant flux and change.
