all over the place

That describes me these past months. Involved to the limit of my physical ability. Then the inevitable crash, which I am still recovering from. Recovery isn't the right word. Its a poor approximation and a dissappointing understatement. These past months have been a search.

So what was I looking for, and what did I find?

I was looking fir a new team to be part of. Also for a way to give of myself to the world, and to help some people suffer less, and last but not least to suffer less myself. This last was the reason I studied Reiki. I needed to heal myself.

And so, I became a Reiki Master. I healed. I helped others to heal. It gives me so much peace to have this way of serving others. But that was long ago, and now is a different time. I found a way to serve through healing, but it was never appealing to me as a primary means of serving. It's just too quiet. I like some action too.

So I also found PJALS. So that was the end of having too much time on my hands. I'm learning to keep it manageable.

And here I am. Overweight, stoned on medical marijuana, fascinated with world affairs and politics, outraged at them who run things for letting it get fubar like this.

So I'm back to Blogging. This can only be a good thing. The energy is shifting and the focus turning inward. Sometimes that's the scariest place to go. But as I get older, I find less upset within, and I very much like that development.

New Blog: Soul Visions

Okay, I started a new blog for spiritual discussions called "Soul Visions." It would make me really happy if it became interactive. I would love to have a dialogue with other people about their spiritual experiences and beliefs. To me, there is nothing more interesting. Come over, take a look and don't be shy.

thank your enemy

My daughter's ex does nothing he is expected to do, breaks all his promises and doesn't participate in any meaningful way in the parenting of his son. It is very easy and natural to focus on the things he does or doesn't do that are wrong. But what is really exciting is to discover the opportunity he presents to us to practice being accepting, non-judgmental and at peace with the way life is. Indeed, we could go so far as to thank him for giving us this opportunity to practice our spiritual skills, including radical acceptance and the choice to meet what life brings us with an attitude that there is nothing wrong here.

Life is short; learn peace.
