Cool Transitions

It is the Time of Transitions
One Month and Season is Sliding into the next and our bodies and minds are grasping to Hold On-
Hold On to the lessons of Winter and Pounding Cold Realities
Hold On to the Excitement and Hopeful Anticipation of New Horizons
Hold On to the Essence of our Very Spirit and Breath

From this Chrysillis We Emerge Fresh, New, Rebirthed and Stronger

Let Go
of Fear, Anticipation and Ego

Stretching Out Our Intentions Into Reaity

It is difficult to be on a journey with someone and realize their trip is different from yours in every way except the scenery.

Frustration from their journey overflows and tries to seep into this trip:
We cannot solve their problems only observe how they attempt to overcome them.

This is how we observe who they really area their core.

Is it blame or prayer they reach for?

Today we explored a feared space- A School... The last one we experienced made me feel excluded/ pointed at/ talked about/ separated......Bullies were everywhere- teachers and students ( see:friends). My parents tried to make me find ways to fit in before...

Time For Healing and Growth:Greece and Today

An illness has allowed schooling to take on it's true nature- it must come from the desires of the student to learn. A Yearning for Learning! As I was unable to do much but give one assignment while I rested, my student found that inner nature quickly forgets it's assigned task and is dragged off path by the childish whims of whatever grabs its attention first.
This is EXACTLY What the Greeks of Antiquity found... Given the right motivation the everyday person could have Self-Rule, Self-Responsibility and Self-Government!
We also learned That By Focusing Our Light We Can Do Perhaps One Spectacular Thing Instead of Many So Many Good Intentions That Were Never Finished and Will Just End Up In A Mess.
Last night we changed our sleeping arrangements for more self-responsibility. This morning we woke up gently and, following some relaxed reading, took on self-rule as we progressed through morning grooming and breakfast finally ending up here- Blogging about self-governance coming from a Willing, Bright and Focused Spirit!!!
NAMASTE

Yes- I DO meditate twice daily if not more- YES my yoga is the real deal- all eight paths. Ahimsa means NOT HARMING, Love is a ways of telling others it's not your thing, Service IS a Part of LIFE without sacrificing yourself or your ideals, creativity without harming others is THE GREATEST GIFT GIVEN TO HUMANS... Self- Righteous People Try To Get To The Individual Through Their Weakest Heartstring.... Nobody has the right to say their GOD Excluded others... I am blessed for your choice but-not by your methods... Assemble With God- Don't Exclude HIS People


Blessed are the children for they hold the knowledge from whence they just arrived
Greek Antiquities Come To Life


How do I stop the process... I don't. Following is often harder for a parent used to leading and guiding the child.

As I see I am still the only one following this post, I understand! And I am grateful for this- let me be led.....

Welcoming Turkish Valentines

Today we entered the realm of joining others on the similar path we have chosen and even found someone who shared my past educational and social experiences! The universe is so intriguing as it brings us within each others neighborhoods many times but let's us choose when to slow down enough to recognize each other!
The children and adults recognized us immediately as we walked into the building. The smiles and inquiries were warm and genuine, the conversation flowed in all directions, and the instruction was as much for my well being as for my child's . As Valentine Treat Bags were discovered, a winsome child of mine searched to find there was none tagged for her. A beautful soul saw this distress and quickly called in another loving soul to remedy this- LIKE MAGIC, An aptly Labeled bag appeared complete with Valentines, scented pencils and sweets!
This is the TRUE SCHOOL OF LIFE! The Valentines Day Spirit is inrechingout to another soul and welcoming it- and finding ways to extend that welcome until all who wsh feel as part of the whole!
Thank you all for the Best Valentine's Gift Imaginable: Acceptance!
