'Once Amor'

'Forget everything u thought u knew about me; it could be wrong. Remember all the good things about life; it's beautiful here when we share.

Dust off your compass; u up for an adventure? We're going to see the world within while watching the world without. Let's compare stories as we sail the open ocean of the mind...'

Shh...

Taking sometime in silence. This is beneficial to watch the mind and all the places it goes. Love you, quietly ;~}

'Becoming'

I am the heat of the sea floor spreading.

I am the current of the lightening through the air.

I am the contact of your feet upon the ground.

I am the binding of the atoms to one another.

I am the motion of the currents of the ocean.

I am the sound of the fledging making the first push through the egg shell.

I am the one thought u can believe.

I am formless and doubtless and one.

I am the yearning.

I am the knowing.

I am love.

Be complete in the moment u let go.

Become one.

'Standing Still and Waiting for God'

'I hear u talking; u are what all hearts r made of. I see your face in the dove at my window sill. I hear your voice in the sound of the crow. I see you glide through the sky as an eagle. I feel your breathe as the ocean air upon my face. I feel your touch as the waves lapping at my feet. But where r u; will u not show your face my love...'

'Be Everything'

I am the sun, the wind, the rain. 

I am the flowers budding on the young tree branch.

I am the small animals climbing up the trunks of the trees and soaring overhead.

I am the me in u and the u in me.

I am everything and the nothing in between...

Hot Drinks on a Hot Day!

TI didn't understand drinking hot drinks on a hot day before I came here.

Now I drink hot drinks often during the day when it's hot. It actually feels very nice on the body, like an internal hot tub. It's relaxing of a sort.

Last night it rained ;-)

It was SO noisy. The combination of the water falling on the metal roofs of various over hangs and the eruption of the wild life response to the rain coming down...it was an immense reaction!

It smelt so nice afterward, and refreshing.

There was a beautiful cloth hanging out to air dry. Lovely blossoms of violet and white like. 

All the clothes gets air dried here. 

We have clothes lines in our bedroom. Some in the kitchen and one across the room by our beds. 

Everyday is the same but different ;-)

I'm having a nice time here.

Everyday overlaps, they tend to get into a little pattern for sometime where the days are te same but different. I have similar things I will do for many days in a row but the people and objects I interact with will be a little different. 

I help an elderly woman in the morning.

She is very nice and we listen to prayers and spiritual music ;-) And do exercises to keep mobile, it's good for me too!

Then I really get my exercise by making compost! So much fun! The recycling system and waste management is fantastic here and it's great exercise. 

I really work my arms for compost, then as perhaps I mentioned: I take the stairs often. My room is on the 8th floor! Great view of a sea of Palm trees and the ocean ;~} very nice scenery here...

Then I have a nice light lunch of salad and veggies. The monastery is vegetarian but there are nice western foods like French fries or salads or pizza :-) 

May go on a day trip today with some friends to see some great big trees in Ochira :-) hugs!

Madhura Lara

Silly picture, un related, fun dream!

I had a sweet dream: 

I was in the good court of a mall. There were MANY people there, there was little light at all. I sat at a table and started singing 'I you're happy and u know it clap ur hands' it took some time but folks caught on and at the end of it people clapped and were happy it had occurred. People then recognized me while I walked around the mall. It was funny ;-)

Mooooooo!

I gratefully share that I was able to help clean up after the cows at the ashram for a little bit during my stay here. Yes, this meant cleaning up poop :-)* The dung then gets mixed into the compost; which is my other main seva (volunteering) right now. It's a lot of fun and I know much more about efficient composting than I did before. Also, it is a lot of really good exercise ;~] Buff Madhura Lara; here I come! In Sankrit, Madhura means Sweet, that's my spiritual name here ;-) nice huh ;-) hee hee hee, Hugs and Cheers!

Ps. Baby Moo Moos are cute cuuute!
