…showed up about two years ago before we went to Barcelona. Carlos found him and he sort of replaced Kali in the numbers game here in our home…Kali had been run over, but at the time, I did not know that…Over the years, Manchas kind of grew into the family….he was always high strung, but between manic barking, eating seat covers, attacking Simba, fighting and playing with Slidell…he loved to hang in the studio. The other day I heard him barking and running up the road below the bedroom window….intuitively…I felt he was going away…and sure enough…he has. He has been gone for two weeks now…Richard and I have agreed that the other dogs appear freed up. Three times I had to intervene in what appeared to be a fight to the death between Simba and Manchas…it was frightening. I guess Manchas had too much time on the street and he never could relax here…May he be safe where he has landed….we loved him…he grew on us…Be free, Manchas Groove!

I See the Light…
…and its shining down, on and through me…and you too. There are so many reasons to live in blame and non awareness…to judge with the knee jerkin' and smokin' and pointin'…but that is not the door to awakening…and neither is what a number of people call enlightenment…as if enlightenment was separate from this thing called living…I honestly believe that claiming your life is in the awakening…owning who or whatever you are…Looking back at my time with Bhagwan, I feel that he had to create that traveling magic show for some of us to settle down and take a look within…the Rolls Royces, the watches, the New Man, the Commune…all of it, I feel, was a ploy for us to take stock…to turn within….After all these years…I still have to remind myself to grasp the straw of abandonment of this so called personality…I remember as a child riding my bike so totally and with abandonment…that was enlightenment….I remember…I remember…I remember….PS….this may seem vague (the Posting), however, I will go into it later (like the next post)…but today some weird energy came into my studio (two neighbors)and they were crowding Carlos and trying to impose their will on him…he stood up for what he believed in and one of the people called him an "asshole"…I said, "he is not an asshole"…she said this because he would not go along with her wishes…this all happened in my studio and I feel like we (Carlos, Richard, and I) were poisoned by these two individuals…to make a long story short…they are trying to convince him to buy an electric transformer for his house…and for his reasons…he refused….ever since they left…the energy feels yucky…what I do know is this: I have never met a more honest human like Carlos…those of you who know him…I am sure you agree….
Well…
…you know I like to live my life…
hopefully totally…
and move and groove
and feel real good …
in the beginning of this Century…
So I continue to plug away at the work here….Manchas and my camera are still missing…we Bless you, Manchas, where ever you have gone…and the camera remains a mystery….and as they say, "This too shall pass"…and now we are passing into Fall…a favorite and reverent time for me…the marigolds always remind me of when I found Bhagwan…31 years ago…half of my life! I look back and feel nothing but gratitude for these years that led me to this time with Richard and our home and work…I raise a toast to Existence and the Journey from the Alone to the Alone and all the friends and critters along the way…

Grey Thing….
…also known as the Divine One is home….she was down in the lower property for two days…all sorts of paranoid scenarios had crossed my mind about her condition (the mind!)….and now Dear Divine Cielo is back and in Groove proximity. She is sleeping in the big bed with Richard…lulled by the drone of the fan that lures me back to the horizontal for a few more hours of zzzzzzz…I have a class this morning…gonna need this rest….just so happy that Cielo is nearby…..
And It Was All YELLOW…..
….life continues to unfold here in Mexico…one of our dogs (Manchas) is missing… our grey cay (Cielo) has not been home for two days…we have seen Federal Soldiers in ski masks chasing a white Ford Pickup….the pickup was going 80 miles per hour…the federales were on foot….we saw about 20 Federales arresting a suspect last night…again the Federales were wearing ski masks…our internet connection has been down for four days at our house…I am wearing leapard skin trousers today…I made a quite fabulous mirror last week…we have had some good rain…cutter ants attacked one of our rose bushes…and quite frankly…I LOVE MEXICO…the chaos and drama…the unparalleled vistas…the traffic…the Colonial buildings…our garden…our home..our love…Love and dig it all! Our lives happen here in a big way…Glorious hugs to all
