7:01am sunrise-NOT in a rare LA rain
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. …….. Rev Karen Wylie

To be an artist you have to have less of a stake in a stable, single identity; it’s how you function as an artist, that sense of being both inside and outside means part of you is outside. You’re less invested in the consistent self. In fact, the consistent single self is inimical to your creative process. And yet, the fact of inconsistency is experienced by many of us as we live in the world as a source of shame. “I can’t sustain, I go from one thing to another.” …David Milch

Elijah was suicidal, Isaiah preached naked , Peter denied Christ, Paul was too religious. What do you have that’s worse than that? ...Rev. Leo

Always trust your instinct. Never doubt what you bring from the spirit world in your meditations. They call it heightened awareness, because your awareness is raised in that state. Do not doubt that, or else the magical formula conceive-perceive-achieve-believe is broken. Your reality base is broken. …Von Braschler

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
