Katie – I’m right with you on apologizing for my fire. Screw that! You have it right on, if we don’t honor our uniqueness it’s kind of like being rude and ungrateful for a Divine gift. Hold onto your tube – you ain’t seen nothing yet!

Damn straight I can handle your wildness. This wildness, this pure abandon is the seed of all life and truth within us.

I spent longer that I care to admit…apologizing for my fire, my expansive visions, and my VERVE for this amazing experience of life. What I did not realize, until I finally gave it up in the last couple of years….that apologizing for my passion was actually–

Being ungrateful for the very life I treasure so much.

So now I shine as my practice of gratitude.

And the more I allow this shine (and for me it is the whole levity and lightness and laughter scene) to emerge…the more the path deepens and widens. The more it leads me to where I could not have imagined before.

And every day I remind myself. “Hey, Life is about the Journey MORE than the Destination.”
And then I sit back in my inner tube, cross my legs and enjoy the ride down this great river of experience.

Tom….I am glad you are one of life’s river guides. You are inspired and inspiring.

I am being profoundly moved by your exercises and my need for forgiveness.

I am being tested by my sister and my child too – loudly.

I can feel the movement and claim it as my own.

I also had to stop and climb the trees to prune storm damaged boughs and begin to pack the earth for winter slumber
and cut the zinnias for a bouquet of joy to feast upon.

Always the garden is growing the focused upon fruits.

Jannie, You are wonderful and I love your writing here too.

Can you handle MY wildness? I was born into a long line of Wild Irish Ones, ones who make a lot of mistakes, so we pretty-much have to forgive ourselves daily.

I forgive myself for my constant imperfection. I don’t have to forgive myself for my good-natured cussing, such as ass-kicking and such.

I’ve got a fresh start
a clean pure heart
I’ve got songs to give
a great life to live

I’ve got my hoe, my rake, a bucket of finest manure. I’ve got good strong legs, arms and back to tear into that compacted soil and smash those big clods to smithereens. When I’m done spinning that earth into fine sweet grains, I’m gonna jump and run barefoot and do cartwheels and handsprings all over that rich loamy garden plot.

Then… I’m gonna take both hands full of seeds and leap into the air, tossing those seeds as high as I can to let them fall wherever they will. I’m gonna take a hose and give a light soaking to my garden plot morning and evening.

I’ll sing to it by the light of every star.

When the sprouts come up I’ll get down on my hands and knees and kiss each one.

There will be bees in my garden like never before.

And when the sunflowers bloom I’ll cut every other one to save the seeds for next year, let the birds have some and give the rest away to each person I come in contact with.

Now I’m not one to smoke cigars, but when I ring that bell and keep it ringing I’ll take some packs of fine organic java to brew and share. And the grounds will go back to my compost for more flowers.

Keena – Your passion and gratitude blow me away. I love your declaration it’s powerful, clean and moving! Thank you for your inspiration!

Yes I will record the call and put it up on my new site.

Laurie – Those are some powerful declarations and intentions. Do them now while you are still feeling them. I though you had some last job junk to remove. You can do it. Let that spirited artist shine!

I would like to make a request on behalf of Evan and myself, and any others who cannot make the call…

Could you PLEASE RECORD IT and send out the link to all of us who have susbscribed?

I think this is really IMPORTANT work you are doing and I would hate to miss any of it.

I will be happy to sign up for the call in addition to being on the list, but I know I cannot make the call.

Thanks so much!

Peace and joy,
Keena
