…..well, I am on my way home after visiting OKC (Oklahoma City).  It was a special time…a deep deep healing occurred and there is still more work to be done.  I absolutely enjoyed my time with my sister Joanie.  We got to know one another more.  The depth of feeling and connection was tender and sweet.  I applaud my sister in this life for her beautiful nature that continues on after the loss of two sons.  Seeing my cousins Rex and Chris was also a hallmark along with visits with childhood chums and friends from the art community in OKC.  I did not get to see my sister, Sarah….and so is the nature of this suchness called life.  Hopefully one day it will be different between the two of us…I am not going to blame her…I love her from afar…so back to Mexico and the life there…the critters, Ramirez family…our incredible Casa de Las Ranas.  I want to thank all of my extended family for there support and Love…your encouragement means so much to me…Richard returns in less than two weeks…I raise a toast to Life!

.. it is the mind that gets us hung up in the drama of life….and the heart leads us home.  And so, Dear Friends, the heart has led me home to my roots.  It has been a very heart felt experience…lots of heart!  Seeing my divine dear sister, Joanie has been quite moving.  My other sister Sarah is not responding to my olive branches…maybe I should release a flock of doves on her driveway…would that crack her armor?  I feel a bit sad by her distancing…but so be it….I believe she is afraid to see me for idealogical reasons.  But seeing old friends from my childhood, my cousin Chris…going over old photos with Chris and my sister…tears…love…this has been a blessed trip……here is a photo of me with my sister Joanie….

…I have to admit…I have never enjoyed being in Texas.  Right now I am in the Houston Airport named after the first criminal Bush and I can not wait to split…I am heading to Oklahoma…I may enter lots of blog entries there…to keep me connected and to feed my ASD (Attention Seeking Disorder)…So stay tuned…Anado Groove is on the Move…Love to all!  The photo was taken yesterday in Mexico City…I am floating!!!!

…at Cafe de Carlo in Colonia Roma after ingesting some of the strongest caffeine known to Womankind.  Now he is strong enough to consider boarding a plane for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where he will roam the environs of Republican Middle Amerika with his heart in hand…so stay tuned…he leaves on Wednesday…early in the morning.  So why is he writing this on Monday afternoon at 5pm?  Good question…maybe he needed to fill some blog space…so…hello from Mexico…life is good..Richard and I had some good coffee.  We happen to like this cafe, so I took a photo…

By the way…check out this link…we are going to this neighborhood for dinner tonight:

….or how my life is a balancing act.  I am going to Oklahoma next week and it is a really big step.  My intention is healing and I have to hold that close and dear in my heart.  Over the last few years, the depth of this living has become so apparent.  Every so often I try to go back to sleep and it works for awhile, but I keep getting this cosmic "nudge"….Wake up wake wake up wake up…why not wake up this moment…and I try to cop some z's on the wheel…and another "nudge" comes my way…so with all the best wishes that are surrounding me…I return to the source… to the place where my life physically began in this very body…Bhagwan once said,"this very body:  the Buddha…this very place:  the Lotus Paradise"…so…finding the Lotus Paradise in Oklahoma…why not?  Life in the Balance……

…only consequences.  My friend Dan Webber from Nashville in troduced me to the before mentioned maxim….So Childstar and Lovee….I can put my grammar and spel'ling anywhere I Vant 2….However, if you drink as much mezcal as I did last night, one may wish to introduce some rules….We had a great time with some friends from Monterrey at Masako's….and let us just say that Richard drove home and leave it at that….
