I received two questions and Reflections today, October 6, 2009, from www.gaia.com:

What is the most important aspect or practice in your spiritual life?  (found on www.gaia.com)

How does your money feel about you?  (appropriately found in my SPAM folder)

Thank you www.gaia.com, because you focused my time on the computer this evening.  Thank you for giving me a creative outlet to answer questions I'm REALLY passionate about; and thank you for giving me something to rant about why I give sooooo little of my energy to www.gaia.com and then when you are scratching your head about how to make it work better, or make more money so you can increase the mark's value and sell it to the next highest bidder . . .  or not, or you're on your own journey too and we may or may not need to walk together too often.  So, if and when I come here, I'll give it to you straight from my heart, and when I'm in this mind-set, my sensitivity is like my golf game gone awry, and so I yell "fore" or "four" or "for" or "DUK!"

DUK="Did U KNow!"  because, sometimes it is so obvious!

does money feel?  does money have any emotions whatsoever?  and what is "my money"?  and why would i care what my money feels, if you can convince me that the energy of money feels anything other than to indebt you more and more (as U.S. money is actually "reserve notes," as in 'payable' ... YIKES!

loaded questions that don't really want environmentally grounded people . . . after all, why not create it? 

so, this is my contribution to trying to create a place that is truly grounded in mother earth rather than the federal reserve bank of the united states of america or any other monetary system working with tools of debt holding the illusion of wealth and abundance!!!!

rant over . . . good night!

peace & harmony,

p.s. the only aspect i know about, 'being' . . . whatever that means to me in the moment.

does not come without some bruises.

how many times was dr. king arrested and put on trial?

what about gandhi?

even rosa parks was arrested and found guilty.

i join now a honorable list of "destructive" forces that we now honor as heros.

life is a journey and i will seek to enjoy this part as much as all the rest!

everything i was afraid of has happened, so there is nothng more for me to fear.

being a part of the transformative process in our evolution rather than being a part of the revolution that is happening is a privilege in self-exploration and growth unlike that you can experience in any other way.  connecting to the divine through the path of the community and our social civilized structure, is one of the most challenging paths we can experience here on planet earth.

the promise land here in america, for me, is a community recommitted to the honoring of the children, the respect of children, the protection of children and the education -- real education that comes from the love of learning -- of our children.

our children deserve better, every single one of them.


peace & harmony,
