What Valentine's Day Means to Me....

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 05:43:31 GMT

    Spent the day as a substitute teacher today. I think I can get used to this new found job description. I had the good fortune of subbing for a third grade class on this lovely Valentine's day. Just when I thought that the holiday had nothing new to teach me, a group of 16 eight year olds showed me the way! I had nearly forgotten how much we loved our Valentine's day celebrating....how I would have my list made, and my special valentines set aside at least a week ahead of time. How we got to eat junk food in school, a very rare occasion back then.
    32 wide and expectant eyes would turn to me each and every time another kid asked " when do we get to have our party? ". And each time I would smile and answer that we would get to party at the end of the day, once all the lessons were finished. " AWWWWW " was the unanimous cry each time that we had to drag our eyes back to our reading/science,/math lessons.
     When it was finally time to party, the kids rushed around the class, delivering the cards and candies to one another, excitedly exclaiming their reasons for giving each card to its recipient. Then they devoured their munchies while they opened their valentines and laughed, giggled, rolled their eyes, and blushed together.
It was beautiful. I am grateful to have had such a lovely V-Day.

Cold Front

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 05:40:55 GMT

Between your reach and mine
lies the vast vale of time's embrace

Perched breathless and naked in my desire
I lie to myself by myself,
still and waiting for the perfect moment of truth

Irony

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 04:14:04 GMT

Sleeping alone is an achy habit
which provides me with ample freedom
to sprawl about the bed like an afghan.
My only impediment is my yen to be held
curling me like a drying leaf
upon myself.

Reflecting

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 07:07:09 GMT

Winter and Spring have begun to speak
of the details involved in the upcoming change of the guard.

Looking into and back upon the Winter's teachings,
I welcome Spring's warm and green charms

with an excited kiss.

I'm pleased to announce....

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 08:12:48 GMT

I successfully quit smoking cigarettes a year and a half ago on the Summer Solstice. This is the best gift I've given to myself in a long long time. I am free! I can breathe!! I have edless fuel for my heart's song. While I was able to stop smoking altogether and abruptly cold turkey style, if you will, it seems that my mind made an under the table deal with my will power. Due to a total shut down of my will to eat the right foods, I have gained several earth pounds, and my energy levels have much room to improve. Sigh. It has been a long couple of weeks, here recently, as I've grown to accept the reality I've created. My body is exactly as it is meant to be. I'm teaching myself many lessons by working through each and every feeling that comes up.

As a smoker, I had many discussions with many smoking and non-smoking peoples' regarding the importance of balanced nutrition, and the benefits of consuming poison free foods. What a funny paradox I was!! This chatty chimney spewing green knowledge and toxic pollutants. And then when I finally quit smoking tobacco, after 17 years, I became a junk food junkie. Food became my way to deal with many of the issues which cigarettes had allowed me to avoid. It has been a deep and raw year and a half.

I'd like to announce the New Deal, which my soul has brokered on behalf of my higher self''s best interest.
Only food which serves my body's highest potential will do. I am ready to reclaim my body.

Love and Gratitude to my Soul!! It's great to be back!!

And how she rocks
Our troubles away

Full Moon in Cancer sounds good to me!

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 07:52:26 GMT

Lucinda Williams on Austin City Limits is everything that this Lunar event entails. Her mournful and experiential style is proof of how large regular life actually is. Her voice is warm and thick with images that we all understand.
Old Crow Medicine Show shares the timeslot with Lucinda. Their rugged charm makes them an irrestible acoutrement to this lovely Sunday evening.

Luna Nueva

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 06:11:11 GMT

Beloved Moon
Once again unseen
Rising deeply in my dreams
()
Her arms are cold as velvet
Soft like salt water taffy , Lucid
as past perfect tense.
She beckons me inward
to the warmth of Vesta's hearth

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 05:22:12 GMT

Grace abounds within my swolen breast,
How can I contain this rapturous riot which revolts within me?
Resounding and rekindling harmonious hymns of yesterdays'
Our joyous cacaphony raises the roof amidst our raucous rampage.

Love and Gratitude to all worthy pilgrims and sacred beings.
We Are All One!!

Absence Makes the Heart Grow

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 02:27:20 GMT

Six nights past since I saw her last,
We smiled at one another on my way home from work.

She was two thirds across the sky, my grin was wry
At the thought of what she had been up to in her absence.

While the cat was away, this mouse did play
With the crazy like a fox idea of resurrection.

And now that she's back, we are in close contact,
Lenses looking deeply within.

Soul Memory Haiku

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Fri, 28 Apr 2006 19:33:06 GMT

I remember you!
from our time in the Temple.
I had forgotten.

I am forgiven!
Now, my memory's heart beats
     and remembers how...

Together we danced,
chanting our most sacred vow
    of sweet MotherLove.

    Unconditional
      without limits, time or space
         Ever evolving!

Dance with me Sister!
We shall re-remember us!
    Sing with me, Brother!
    Peace and harmony
        are promised, on the warm winds
      of our joyful change!

We meet destiny's
manifestation in each
    seed and sprout of grace.
We drink our souls' wine
deeply tasting communion
     that is our oneness.

I remember you.
Love and Gratitude to you,
My beloved friend.

Looking ^^ up ^^

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 05:46:51 GMT

Big Sky makes a good filling for humble pie. The sky here in rural New Mexico, as we sit at 6200 feet above sea level, is astoundingly spectacular. The Milky Way's sweet lullaby seems even more audible here.

She comforts and weeps with my soul's yearnful song.
Through her eyes I am shown the way back home.

Thank you Galactic Mother for this cosmic ambrosia !!

This Old House

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 03:35:12 GMT

Been painting this new old house... on the inside. We have chosen some yummy, warm and spicy hues ranging from honeysweet to red chile to jericho jade to laguna mint. My brand new (built onto the house a couple of months ago) bedroom is my personal canvas. Painting the walls throughout the house seems to provide me with much inspiration for my personal space. I found this image of a Black Madonna by Andre DelCourt , while I was googling for inspirational images. I'm painting a Madonna on one of my doors. So far she is looking a lot like Our Lady of Guadalupe. It's been eye-openning to realize that I'm good at painting, and that I really like doing it. Painting is an honest trade which adds and creates beauty through design and color. Art as life. I like the sound of that.
I will post images of some of my work as soon as I track down my teenager, who has cuurent custody of the camera. : }

October has arrived....

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 04:12:17 GMT

The nights here are cool and arid for the most part. We received a blessed shower this afternoon, which lasted for almost half an hour. The water was cold and sweet, and it fell alongside the loose and dying elm leaves, which have begun to populate our backstep. Five old giants stand like centuries alongside one another, guarding our southern boundary. They are hard on plumbing, and many people despise them, but I can't help but love them. They tower majestically over our new home. Those leaves are all coming off... one way or another. I will love these giant elm trees when they are naked and asleep. I look forward to meeting
their vulnerable power with my own this winter. The time of going within approaches.

Took Horus to the park yesterday afternoon to find the pond had been drained. A dozen ducks were crowded into a wallow left behind by the maintenance maneuvers. One day they'll open the valve, and fill the pond first with water from the spring, and then with fishes. It will be stocked with rainbow trout, from what I understand. The town of Estancia allows only children and elders to take fish from the pond. They may catch their set limit for free every single day.

Sunday Morning

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 20:20:38 GMT

Horus at her feet
Isis wades and weaves between
trees , stars, images,
Plots her course,, her way
Scrying logistics... flow... charts.

Present to himself
Horus basks in MotherLove
Catching butterflies.

Welcome Autumn

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 02:41:58 GMT

Sun descends below the horizon
Luna Rises and grows stronger in her own light

Autumn makes its gracious presence known with a sweet cool shower,
lightly walking upon Summer's crackly shadow

Whoever doubts the coming Winter needs only to look at the moon.

Glad to be back!!!

5 7 5 stream of consciousness.

http://nirvana-tsunami.gaia.com — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 14:45:26 GMT

Streets hum memories
Elevator music blares
Butterfly takes flight

Champagne toasts bubble
Talking heads bobble and blur
Another year gone

Laugh line starts right here
Worrisome kids make the grade
Standing on crow's feet

Who will save your soul?
Shoeshine made in Korea
Waxes nostalgic

And time in 2D?
Give me a little credit
Keeps us in circles

Better recognize
Or the train's gonna be gone
Around the mountain
