I am now certified in level 1 basic form Qi gong. I can actually go out and teach this I am very proud of myself. Qi Gong, and Yoga are the perfect fit. Mary was really just thankful today. She cried after Yoga. NOW she understands what I have been saying about Theresa and Colvin( the owners and teachers) They are married and young and vibrant. Most of all- they are humble, and spiritual and thankful. I don't go to Yoga to be bent in obnoxious positions. I go there with them to breathe and be in the moment. To challenge my mind to be still ,to clear itself of all the ego I impose on it, and my body to overcome my perceived limits and just be. It's translated well physically but the emotional channels that it's opened for me - priceless. I am accutely aware....of everything and ok in my vunerabilities. She gets it now. Mary got it and now is planning a regular schdual to include the practice and apparently A friends nephew from chicago...wants in as well! And they want me to teach them Qi gong.

Last month I was crazy granola playing with dongs, now suddeny i'm the one everyone is gravitating to. they are seeing me and although they don't fully understand....They are opening and that is precious to pass on to others. Plus crazy fits me...I have always seen and been light years beyond others in the realm of thought Aquarian gift i suppose. Thank Uranus

Spoke to Grands today. Thought she would give me grief about not working. You know beg me to move to North Carolina. She didn't !!! She didn't even freak when I said I was considering LA or NY. Although her two cents was I can't see you in NY. It's too cold. She was not referring to the weather. I agree sort of. I haven't figuered that out yet. trip to LA first, if I'm not happy there and I desire to stay in the industry....I don't see any other good for me option. SOOOO i take that to mean, when it's time i'll be lead to where I need to be. Like with ...my life I suppose. She did lay me out on the boyfriend, marriage, grandchild thing. BIG TIME. I felt like a lobster being tossed in the pot. Yikes. ..I told her she would be the first to know. That's the best I could give her and her answer was, I could die! Thanks-nice, really nice. ........

This passage is from one of my favorite Poets, Khalil Gibran. The book is the prophet and the passage is Reason and Passion:

Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgement wage war against your passion and your appetite.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
But how shall I, unless you yourselves be also the peacemakers,nay the lovers of all your elements?

Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.
If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through it's own daily resurrection, and like the Phoenix rise above it's own ashes.

I would have you consider your jusdgement and your appetite even as you would two loved guests in your house.
Surely you would not honour one guest above the other;for he who is more mindful of one loses the love and the faith of both.

Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows-then let your heart say in silence,"God rests in reason."
And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest,and thunder and lightening proclaim the majesty of the sky,-then let your heart say in awe,"God moves in passion."

And since you are the breath in God's sphere, and a leaf in God's forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.
