I am amazed at my projections….if you could only see what I deleted before I typed this…….compassion is the key…. Return to the source of emptiness…..’nuff said…..

Old…But Not in the Way
That sometimes describes me…..but last night, it got very old. Beloved Sudheer stole the show from some rather wobbly performers. Sometimes you just gotta say, "Enough is enough"….Please, Dear Friends, stop me cold if I ever get too ancient for my own good. Instead of getting a tummy tuck….I did lose 35 pounds…but if I ever get too arch like some of those ladies last night….lead me to the pasture to graze those 35 pounds back…..
There’s a Door
Well the door is being installed in the Office for the Chapel. Richard and I found an old misquita door the other morning on the road to Dolores. We woke the guy up from an extreme hangover and we got a good price. I am going to paint the part that you view from the inside….raspberry….real glossy. The walls are absolutely outrageous…it’s all going good…
All the Lovely People…..
…where do they all come from? We keep getting a number of curiosity seekers out here. It can be overwhelming at times. Yesterday there were over 400 people in bus
loads….kinda scary. Everyone seemed to like it…there were a few pretty conservative types that could not get out of here fast enough….Such is Life! Today a group of lovely Snow Birds came out in these two rather huge pick up trucks….I found out later that they have large trailers that they travel in…to and fro. They were very open minded and got a kick out of things. Later Steve Kohrner from Flying Concrete brought out a group from his building workshop. They were all pretty cool One of the guys said that a group from Nova Scotia that was here yesterday could not understand all the skulls that are around here. They were a bit perplexed…it takes all kinds. I told a woman the other day that there are no dark forces here. These skulls represent the impermanence of it all. Not so strange…huh? By and large….the people are cool…I never intended for all of this to happen…but energy has led us here and it is our folly. Just another Station of the groove.
I Wanna Grow Up
Yes…that’s what I want. I want to grow so tall that I see an empty sky awash with clarity and joy. I want that joy to spread in all directions and shower on all of us. I want all of us to grow in this light and just say no to these minds that limit. May the true light glow big and bright and may our struggles lead us to that beanstalk that Jack climbed and may we shake the loving hand of the Goddess within and may her delight reflect a
nurturing calm. So be it!
Will the Circle Be Unbroken?
These circles are all encompassing. Sometimes very amorphous and vehicle friendly and at othertimes…strangle-city. I find myself constantly in the thick and thin of it all and long to learn proper navigation skills. Hopefully, the Chapel of Jimmy Ray is a project for learning more of these tricky lessons. I feel blessed that this construction is part of my life…this chapel will house many circles…may they hopefully
remain unbroken….
