6:32am sunrise out front on 59th Place in LA

Yes, Lissa Sprinkles is gone and I was blessed to be there.  She was gone  when I got there at 12:30, having passed on peacefully some time after her son left for work, between check-in’s by the new caregiver.  Lissa had a deep connection with Spirit.  I see Spirit reaching out and gently taking Lissa’s hand.  She just smiled, no argument, no fuss, no thinking “it’s time.”  Just taking that hand and Knowing this IS right, and so it is, Amen.  

Lissa loved in her lifetime.  She brought Spirit to others and so she was loved in her lifetime.  Lissa was a lifetime well spent.  I was born on Lissa’s birthday, March 16.  Maybe that’s why I was called to be there yesterday.  Why doesn’t matter.  Lissa wasn’t about WHY.  Story goes Reverend Michael told her long ago that he didn’t want to be a minister.  And Lissa smacked him.  She didn’t ask WHY.  Lissa was not about WHY.  She was a great woman.  I thought to tell the Paramedics this when they arrived to work on  her.  But I didn’t.  What I said was “This is Lissa Sprinkles.”  I miss you, Baby.

6:27am sunrise right outside the front door.

Thought I left the Droid inside.  NOT.  It’s right here in my pocket.  A tool.  Spirit is always in my pocket, and in my shoes, in my purse, in my everything.

6:27am sunrise-NOT from my own backyard in LA

Outside with Zuri.  Went to check on her whereabouts just as she was hoisting her butt up over the board blocking the front gate.  So she goes for it when we get involved in sunrises or gardening or any other form of Zuri-NOT.

6:25am sunrise at my house in LA

6:26am sunrise-NOT from Point Dume in Malibu

Write on.  Just keep it up.  No time to give in to doubt and worry.  Is this stuff I’m  writing down a bridge somehow between the Spirit world and Terra Firma?  Guess I’d need to read it to find out.  Think the way is to write when I’m writing and read when I read, quickly.  The pearl will be found and polished, if needed.

Creativity is part of the basic ground of the Universe.  Somehow, some way, miraculously, new things emerge.  I say out of Emptiness but you can call that creative ground whatever you want.  Some would call it God or Goddess, or Tao, or Braham or Keter or Rigpen or Dharmakaya or Maat or Liu.  The more scientifically oriented tend to prefer to speak simply of the “self-transcending” capacity of the Universe.  That’s fine, it doesn’t matter.  The point is, stuff emerges.  Amazing!     …Ken Wilbur  

6:23am sunrise over the Malibu Pier.

Judging my life to be inadequate.  What if I really am enough, just as I am?  What if I really have been enough from the very beginning in the eyes of God?

6:21 sunrise over LA from Mar Vista.

Had a flash of intuition to write big in my journal and I’ve decided to do this through September to see what it brings.  Intentionally pulling away from the tendency to write cramped and tiny.  Yes, Nirvana, I will add my intention to write big thoughts.  Turning away from the tendency to write, and therefore to think, small.  Nurturing a tendency to think, and therefore, to write, big.

6:22am sunrise at Point Dume in Malibu

Gorgeous sunrise.  Laid it’s trail down on the water.  Dreamt about Rev. Nirvana all night long.  Sang at his memorial service Friday.  Full house at Agape.  Inspiring, about a man who sang his song and then some.  And now he’s tapping on my dreams.  His journey was about bringing out the pearl in everyone.  Yes, the pearl we try so hard to keep tight in our clammy shell.
