keepin it real funwick

missmev,

you can only imagine my confusion when i started reading your
last posting thinking that the title was 'catholic catharsis.' but
for real, Hail Mary Full of Grace! Anytime we are struggling such
as you were, we are simply veiled in the cloak of maya, covered
in such a way that we cannot see the light of our own heart and
the beauty of the grace that is shining within us and all around us.
each month women not only cleanse their bodies, but also their
emotions (not that the emotions are separate from the body,
they are a part of it). anything that needs to release, flow through
us that maybe has been blocked will at that special time with the
3 letter abbreviation have the opportunity to come out, fortunately
for me, you let it out in the most graceful, hilarious way.

I love your description of bc, and I understand such a connection
to place. Soon as I crossed into Cape Cod last weekend, tears streamed
down my face, that light quality! OCEAN AIR!!! Slipping back into the
crack that is Nantucket was such a joy, and I too rocked the disheveled
hair all weekend in yoga letting it fly around freely in every direction,
til Julie looks straight at me as I'm coming up from a deep uttanasana
with hair veiling my face and says, "Hi, Cousin It." I love her!

Uni-verse, the one song, we are all a part of that Supreme Consciousness,
known as Siva. and it's all very real. that your brother may go or may
not go to Iraq, that our human family is there fighting right now, is all
a part of it, and it's not separate from us. We are in this ocean of
nectar together, and nesting, serving, creating beauty in your
own home is the first place and from there you can go out, maybe
cleaning up mother earth after the hippie festival, maybe not. I like
to ask in the mornings, 'what do you have for me? i am willing.'
there was a little tapping on my window this morning at 4:30 am and
as i listened, i awakened to find your messages as my first gift of the
day.

did i answer to everything buddy?
