I would go to let to find a way to fly to dance in a cosmic romance with myself.
I like it. I like myself. I am really becoming in a real, loving relationship with me. I really am loving me, accepting me, forgiving me! I love me!
I love, in general. Sometimes you just wanna give your love in a small or large gesture, to another person, and you can...Sometimes the person will receive lovingly, gratefully, and sometimes they won't. And it doesn't matter. We can only control our own mental directions. I think it's good to feel the other person, but not to allow yourself to feel lesser because of their insecurities. Our lives are created out of our own individual preferences, and everybody has different ones. And that's good, I like it that way. Your life is yours to create. Isn't that wonderful?
Wouldn't it be nice if we could just release all of our resistance?
Wouldn't it be nice if we could just heal and feel really good right now?
Wouldn't it be nice if this were all completely possible?
Isn't it amazing....because, it is....
Life is meant to be easy. I am learning this, in my own way. I like my way. It's perfect for me, and it's fun, and it's amazingly beautiful. Your way is good too - it's just different from my way. And that's good. That's why I tell people I believe that everyone's truth is going to be different, because, if it weren't, there would be no diversity, no fun, no excitement no creation. And that kind of world is not only undesirable, it's completely impossible.
So enjoy the crazy! Basically.
I'm enjoying some avocado right now. The avos have been pretty watery lately, but I like that- less fattyness. I'm listening to some wonderful cleansing sounds from the (almost) always helpful youtube. I like it. My dad just walked into the room, breathing huffily as always. LOL! he is so funny! He gets frustrated, and has trouble truly expressing it. If you want something immediately, ask for it. If you don't, then there's nothing for you to worry about. Isn't it wonderful?
I think so.

My Health is My Wealth, and This is Why
My health is my wealth, and this is why:
When I came to the whole foods, raw, fruit based lifestyle, I was well aware that the way we were doing things in this world, particularly when it comes to what we eat, was far removed from what will heal and help us. I noticed, and was for a short time, enticed, by how people were spending their money to buy products, supplements, healing services, and the like because something fundamental was missing in their health: a weak link, which proves case after to case to be usually associated with diet and exercise. It sounds so obvious, but so many people miss the mark and find themselves spending thousands upon thousands of dollars covering up symptoms, whether through conventional or alternative medicine, whilst continuing, for the most part, to eat fatty, salty, dehydrating, health-destroying foods and ignoring that this is, in fact, a major cause of their illness.
When I became aware of my own health needs, I began to take a more careful eye to the so-called "healthy" raw vegan diet I was eating. I was eating fruits and vegetables, of course, but it was what I was also consuming that was taxing my body so much and robbing it of its right to nourishment. I was using salt, oils (even raw, organic oil is just refined fat), eating dehydrated foods, using condiments like coconut aminos (which is very high in sodium glutamate) and harsh spices, cacao (or crackao, as I now affectionately refer to it), and whatever else that wasn't a whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic plant. I LOVE what whole, ripe plants are giving me. It seems like a lot to spend so much money on food, but if we don't put a positive direction in the money we are receiving, then what do we want the money for in the first place? Doesn't it feel empowering to know that you are intentionally controlling where the money in our world is flowing? And if you don't put in what it takes to have balanced, wonderful health, won't you just have to end up spending tons of money on treatments for your symptoms anyhow? Food for thought, just take it as it is, and listen to your own body- transition as only YOU can, and should. You are a unique individual, and you are loved so much by this everflowing center we call God. Be that you are. Bless, be blessed, and be a part of the cycle. Everything comes back to the center. Let be.

Compassion, Teach Us To Love as You Love
We need balance. Balance is perfectly all-ready for us; we need to listen to our Inner Voice...and gradually move our attention forward from the distractions, and slow down, and gently allow with a sincere sense of curiosity. What was appropriate before is not what is appropriate now. It is no longer applicable, it is faded, a shadow of truth, a dusty wisp floating away like translucent clouds.
When I turn my attention to my self as the Now state of the Whole world, I see that we have created so many things that imbalance. I see so much violence, fear, worry, and doubt. And so it is obvious to me that the only way to balance this is to create a momentum of balance, of rising, of gentleness in allowing and being, of faith, of trust, of protection, of courage.
We need to use less words and feel the words we use more. We need to do less killing and love the ones we love with more deepness. We need to think less on meaning, and be more aware of how our thoughts are feeling, in every moment, so that we can be vigilant, and impeccable - wasting nothing.
Grand Mother Father,
Help me to be kind.
Slow the stirring of my temper,
cool my mind with flowing,
juicy thoughts.
Help me to be kind to myself,
Great Spirit.
Speak through me soft words of wisdom,
touch me with tenderness,
Teach me, Compassion,
to Love like you Love.
Compassion,
Help me to be kind.
Teach me Peace.
Teach me on the silent wings of an eagle,
and whisper always on the dream I am creating.

Carnism, Part II: The Greath Myths of Our Time
Carnism is carried out covertly - and for very good reason. In order to understand how Carnism exists, we must first have understanding of the great myths of our time, and who is telling them.
We have many myths here. We have the myth of separation; we have the myth of lack; we have the myth of fate. We have the myth of endedness; we have the myth of coincidence; we have the myth of monarchy. We have the myth of disease. We have the myth of carnism. And we have many others, also. But all of these myths have one thing in common: they could not exist without all of the others to back them up. They are inextricably linked.
Carnism is based upon the existence of the animal agriculture industry. The industry exists because people are clever, and a few very clever people realized that they could use the exploitation of nonhuman people in order to exploit people: keeping you tired, keeping you sick, keeping you asleep, coming back for more and more drugs to keep you from dying, without ever realizing that this are very things that are killing you slowly. And this is what fuels their extravagant, ludicrous lifestyles. But, the truth is, they are dying, too. And there are less of them. And they are using ever trick in the book to keep you from wakin up. But I know that you know. And I know that are you aren't asleep anymore, or else you wouldn't be reading this. I don't need to tell you what is happening to the non-human animals - you already know. At this point we realize that this alone is not enough in some cases - the reason is because it is a deeply ingrained pattern in so many of us. And it is going to take an even stronger momentum in order to shift this around.
The thing I always notice is: most of us are already vegans, at heart. So what is going to happen when the food system crashes? Well, its easy to predict that most of us will discontinue the practice of animal use. Most of us will learn to forage for wild greens and roots and fruits, and start growing foods indoors. Most of us have compassion and will openly admit, "If I ever had to kill animals for my food, I would become a vegetarian." So this simple recognition clearly shows how we truly care for all life, and do not wish harm upon it.
This is is because those of us who do support the practice of animal exploitation are not "the bad guys." These people are also victims of a system of exploitation, as I have already touched upon. Asa vegan I have only compassion for you who eat and wear animals. As Yeshua said as he was leaving his body on the cross made of wood, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." And so, if you are not vegan, I do not condem you or hate you. I simply love you, and I urge you in this moment to wake up. I urge you to see the contradiction in what you are doing. I believe in you, and I know that you know. Now act.

Why change?
Carnism is, by very definition, a taboo to discuss in balanced terms in our every day society. And why is this? Everywhere we look we see mounting evidence for the case that a plant based diet can heal you completely of illnesses long thought to be just genetic - and finding that animal products - ALL animals products, not just meat - are actually turning out not to be of much use in the prevention of disease. You don't have to die from illness!
The research shows that we can live, not just survive, but thrive on a vegan lifestyle.
Many hundreds of thousands of people are waking up to this amazing truth every single day, and it is only inevitable for the masses of people to affectively change the world. But I just want to briefly ask a question: Why is Carnism so prevailing in our world today, and why is it so elusive that most people aren't even aware of its existence?
First, we need to determine what exactly IS Carnism. What is it? lCarnism is an unconsciously chosen belief that eating meat is natural, based on the long-held practice of feeding children meat, meaning based on the fact that you were given meat to eat as a child and you assumed it was natural. Because of course. We trust our parents to feed us good, so that we are healthy and strong and happy.
We want to believe that our parents are omnipotent and that they have all the answers and that they know whats really best, because we're wired to feel that way, it allows us to grow and actually get strong and feel good. It's part of our psychological development. When we are confronted with the question of whether our parents really chose the best for us, we might feel vulnerable. But the thing we hold in mind is a question of our assumptions about nourishment.
there is also the case of another's life to consider.
Carnism is a funny - but not humorous- occurrence, simply because it's not different from all the other practices that people condemn throughout history. Slavery, sexism, racism, classism......speciesism. Have you yet opened your hearts to hearts within chests covered in fur? Their ways are wise and they have much to teach and participate in creating with us. My belief is that we are given a choice to connect to animals and love them in a way we cannot possibly fathom unless we are in right relationship to them. I have a sense of humor about a lot of things and most of them are creepy and twisted, but this is one thing I won't joke about. Because animals are real and important and significant and they have voices, too. (and trust me, it gets better <3))

For Love of Nature
For Love of Nature, I Listen.
Like a bird
who wants to open her wings and fly
so do I.
Miles are but numbers.
My feet are facing westward.
All I have is all I need and all is Well.
Now.
What
is
Nature?
Our kind
kind,
kin.
That which we are
and always have been
We are connected
with Nature
as it is what we are.
Divisions,
are simply chalk lines
erasable, easily
With Water they have never been there at all.
And We are Water.
Just as we have walked consciously out of the water,
we now walk consciously out of the land,
out of the flame,
out of the wind.
For the center is all of these,
in perfect balance,
so balanced
that it seems there is nothing here at all.

The beginning of Silence
The end of the world
is the end of a song
and the beginning of fire and something undone
but what can we not do? when nothing is to be done
when time is for spacing, and space is for timing
and flowers open when they will
The end of a song
is the end of a word and the end of a note
and the beginning of silence and something to be heard
listen and listen
wonder and wonder
understand and understand
trust and be
the way i see your eyes
in the eyes of my mind
and my body gets warm
timing is patient
and patience is key for all this that we see
is always creation
of our own (sometimes im)patience ....
