Feeling a bit miffed and slighted, also questioning why. That questioning of course, is a very healthy thing to do, to inspect one's thoughts and emotions. Still annoyed though. Space between thoughts and emotions is freeing. Space is created when one meditates and practices yoga, in our own bodies and minds. Creating space is so good and it's hard ( Read more... ) -

Amazing times these are. Americans in the street peacefully protesting corporate greed, corporate rule; fighting for their homes, education, jobs, a living wage, a place to peacefully assemble. Finally, Americans in the street. Watch the videos of peaceful Americans being beaten by cops while politicians rail against human abuses in other countries ( Read more... ) -

I participated yesterday at Occupy San Francisco’s ‘foreclose Wells Fargo,’ my 3rd Wednesday demonstrating.
I feel like this movement is the revolution I’ve been waiting for my entire life. It resonates on every level of my being.
The action took place during morning rush hour. Tuesday night I couldn’t sleep at all, tossed and turn and thought ( Read more... ) -

I’ve surrendered.
My heart doesn’t behave like a door or window that I want ajar
just this much and no more.
Once opened, it yawns hungrily and claims more
and becomes so vast,
I occupy my heart
instead of it nestled in me.
How disturbing…how exhilarating…
I lose my balance.
Everything comes in.
Salty sea water

I woke feeling a bit blue this morning, in truth, I went to bed feeling a bit blue. I think I suffer from a feeling of lack, when good things are happening, I fear they'll stop. I see it, which is good. Because a lot of things are beautiful right now; I'm a bit off balance. I'm not sure that's a bad thing though. I need my time in silence ( Read more... ) -

Regarding the burning man blog post and the ephemeral relationships that are created on the playa, and then disintegrate in the real world…
I think burner buddies sounds too much like fuck buddies, but that’s not the part of the article I focused on.
I like how he says that there, we learn to say yes instead of no, but when we come back we ( Read more... ) -

Empty hangers everywhere! I keep shuffling them from closet to closet, some hang, some live on the floor. I think I went from about 10 to 45. 45 empty hangars! Who took my clothes? I have no clothes!
I wrote something this morning about accepting autumn's arrival: I've kissed summer good bye until we meet again and I welcome autumn! I look forward ( Read more... ) -

Right on time, as fall seeps into the air, I feel one hundred passing whispers chilling me enough to pull on my fleece hat and think with an unnamed yearning of what is leaving, those that are physically distant, the darker days and longer nights to come, the instinct to gather. Gather into myself, gather those close to me to myself, bring in ( Read more... ) -

Some people will continue to say that marching and protests don't do anything. Nothing will change. They'll say there weren't many people, it wasn't on the news or it only got 4 seconds and it's not in the paper. Some people will continue to shake their heads sadly, cynically or apathetically at the state of the economy, the crooks in DC and ( Read more... ) -

I like, possibly love getting up early, for no reason. I'd like to have a reason, still on the job hunt. I can barely believe I haven't worked all month.
My bedroom window faces east which will now be a deal-breaker when finding places to live. I have a nice view of the Oakland hills and love watching the sky lighten gradually, from black night and ( Read more... )
