I've Come Home.


Here I am. I’ve made it. I’ve made it home – home to the southern appalachians. 10 years ago, I decided to come home – to make my home – back in the Southeast. here I am. I’m not lost anymore. I’m home.

I have people who should be around as long as life grants them forms. AS long as God gives them bodies, breathing.

I’ve come home to Soul: purposeful personal work. Story-gathering, symbol and archetype gathering, listening, being present with what is. Gardening. Having community. Having people who have know us a number of years and neither of us think the other’s going anywhere.

Celebrating the real truth of the now – whatever form I find it in.

Finding people in my life who desire and celebrate truth and clarity, and clear, loving compassion, purpose, authenticity and joy above all things. These are things I celebrate: presence, deepest truth, inquiry, purposefulness, love and pleasure, compassion, right relationship, right work, clarity, soul, dreams, the dance we share, the stories we share. Ecstatic experience. Authentic “showing up”. Sharing, dialogue, dance. Joy.

WIZARD

I see clouds – over the mountain.
There is a dragon flying around in these clouds.
            (voice to text for iphone)
If the dragon is my Story of E—l?



The dragon is free --- but he is confined to those clouds as well, he cannot leave those clouds

And I stand, from a distance, under the maple tree on the top of a hill, far away –

and I watch those clouds, the dragon’s clouds

and I see how he is bounded, free yet bounded – how this is not as free as the witness

which is itself bounded? created, by the human consciousnesss?
we shall see

There is the Dragon – flying in the clouds –

Now it is stormy ; I see him flying in the storm
the storm of his own story

Then he is gone –
and there are just clouds.

And then he is infused in everything –

Everything drinks
of a piece of the dragon

All leaves of trees,
all grass,
all particles of Air are
infused with this Dragon
.

If I cling
to a story,
it is like my Head
is those clouds – inside a Storm rages,
The story dragon wants out,
wants to infuse into everything.

STORY
is another Coin


KING -- ?

AWARENESS
continually shedding story, being present with what arises.

SUBCONSCIOUS – EGO

worry
anxiety

movement
cleaing
spending time in the cyclic details
organizing the details

feels stifling
but it needs to be done!

I’m avoiding the fact that I don’t want to go to town this eve and be with Em – the dragon has dispersed – the beloved is in things – some speak to me more than others –

fear of holding on to things = diharrea
YES – my ‘drift state” of underground led me to this quote
and seeing again my tendency to excitedly “give away” what is most precious
(diharrea)

CENTER

1)   head and mind communicate
2)   in this case, Yoga was the connector. queen’s pose, then king’s.
3)   feeling of deep communications... led to
the knowing that the heart feeds the mind, literally, and not vice versa;
the mind can feeds the heart by craftting, lovingly, good situations for the Heart, goodwill experiences.. .

1) I will offer to Draw Emmalee – good meditation for the Heart.
2) Offer to adjust my goals – to simply be manifesting a situation where I can support myself living elsewhere for the next two years.
