What is our greatest work? Presence.... To be present is to be revolutionary.

About Me

these days i often think: arg, did i just step in poop??? in arkansas, we call 'em rascals.I got my layout at Cleanupmyspace.com

My Interests

sketching. yoga. writing. openness. filling my life with the wonders of mindfulness, present moment awareness, forgiveness, the beauty of now, and feeling fearlessly unabashedly perfectly ALIVE.pertinent questions to ask oneself: can i live this moment and not judge it as this or that.... can i see this moment as what it is without labeling it one thing or another? does it have to be wrong or right, bad or good?i am thankful. exuberant. sometimes angry. learning to embrace chaos and fear. i love diving in, soft rugs, hot water, blue jeans, sparsity, the color purple, your eyes, your laugh, the sound of life. i am learning to let it all go, to acknowledge my thoughts and emotions with love and friendliness. why does it all have to be such a damn big deal? it isn't solid. it changes and will ever change. i am listening. i am love. i am here.WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. LET US KEEP OPENING THE DOORS AND INVITING LOVE IN.~
