Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs.      …Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sunrise-NOT through the telephone poles on Marine at 4th Street in Santa Monica.  Feels like home.  But I miss my kids.  Jess posted that great picture of me feeding her the first solid food – Brocolli.    The look on her face is priceless.  It’s a wonder she  ever trusted me to feed her again.

...................The experience we all need more of is love. In order to move more deeply into an atmosphere of love, we must identify less with the body and more with our love-related emotions. These are the feelings that speak to us of what has always been within us but what our shabby self-image has not allowed us to see.  … Gerald G. Jampolsky M.D.

Sunrise-NOT  but coming soon from behind a solid cloud bank.  Woulda/coulda/shoulda got the full moon setting.  I’m told it’s a powerful full moon this one.  Yes, I get that.  Since the moon can pull the vast oceans back and forth it may well effect our mostly water-bag too.  Yes, yes there are vast powers beyond our own I’m thinkin’ and this may well be one of them.

Sunrise-NOTat Modjeska Place in Mar Vista.  No vista de downtown today in  a heavy fog.   Been reading J.K. Rowling’s “Casual Vacancy” and only recently realized the paperback book was missing the first 131 pages.  Just received the hardcover from Amazon and of course, it’s a big fat heavy book!   What’s this about.  It seemed to be describing characters as if from the start.  Ok ok Spirit, what are  You telling me ere?  Something about jumping in “late” and it seeming like a beginning………..

Many of us have given our power, money, and minds to people whom we believe can tell us how to live.  And many teachers have given us good advice.  But advice is useful only if it resonates deep within us in a place that feels like home.  So the teacher did not give us anything we did not already have; he or she just pointed us to what we already knew.    … Alan Cohen

So early for the bright and early sunrise – 6:08 AM.  Yes yes I love early.  I love the quiet of it and the ever-so-subtle quickening that comes along with the gradual brightening of the day.  But first the quiet…..

...So  many of us are continually looking for reasons to disqualify ourselves, either as an artist or as a full participant in society or both. The reason I want to reassure you about this third voice – whether it’s a narrator or a third voice and your experience of uneasiness in relation to that – is that that uneasiness is the inevitable consequence of your ambivalence about form and the structuring force in the world.  As artists, you simply are going to have to live into that uneasiness.  That’s the burden of your identity.  It’s also its source.  It’s also an excuse not to practice your art, if you want it to be.  The one thing I can assure you is you’re not going to be any more comfortable in your skin if you’re not working. ...David Milch

................If we just keep on dancing, we’ll be all right.  We can be fearless no matter what and know completely and forever that we are tuned in and tapped into a great and mighty power that wants only our joy and happiness.  What we realize is that there is more to this business of living than we can possibly know – maybe even in one lifetime.  It seems our only job is to keep on dancing.  ……..
