Is This Love?

Chiricahua Wilderness.  Lovely.  Perfect.  In love.

An Affair.....

......with imgaination.

Seeds were planted.  Seeds are forever planted.  Things grow.  Things don't.  Life flows....

I sit atop the town which I have grown to know and love deeply.  Music floats in and out of my soul now, and I feel free.

On this grey day I daydream upon reflection and anticipation.  The future holds forever.  I hold the future in my hand, and 

blow........

Glorious Nature

beauty.

Humble Awareness

The ocotillo of the southwestern desert brings peace and serenity to my soul.  As they begin their slumber into spiny stick mode, I too fall into the hands of winter and begin to rest up for whatever lies ahead.  

Gandhi has been inspiring me lately.  To act in non violent, love filled ways towards goodness and greatness.  The quote on the inside of my honest tea cap read "An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind."  Words spoken from truth.

My mantra for the summer and fall months has been....

"live simply that others may simply live" 

-gandhi

Everyday I say this to myself as an affirmation to why I am doing what I am doing.  The lifestyle I have chosen brings me face to face with intense issues and massive choices.  I struggle while walking upstream in this society based in fear and sadness.  The currents flow against me and at times I feel so alone, even while in amongst it all.  

I find strength within myself while living here in the desert.  I see what sustainability really is all about and I'm learning the life lessons of my time which will thrust me into the future.  The goals are set.  To live the good life is the fuel which energizes my intention.  To help create a good life for others to live is where I find happiness.  

Learning how to make a home.  From the ground up.  What it means to live and grow and learn.  That's what is next.

Season to Love

And Harvest.

I am back.  It is the Day of the Dead and the year is coming round to a finish. 

These last three weeks I have been traveling along the western coast.

California Dreamin'.

Indeed it does feel like a dream.  A dream which came to me as only dreams do. 

A wanderlust which was sitting within aching to come out.  

A journey into lands I've never visited, and into the corners of my soul, which needed nourishment.

I learned about the plant which inspires me deeply.  

I witnessed community in action.  The fruits of humanity in lush abundance.  

Friends,

love,

family,

life.

The Sierra Nevada's were beginning to blush with the color of autumn.   

The trees spoke to me.  Wisdom only attainable by sitting and being one with all around you.

A wisdom based in truth.

Growth.

The Next Bold Move is still being played out in my mind.  Thoughts of Portland, Seattle, Baltimore and De

nver fill my head.

Home, Tomorrow, Yesterday.....Today.
