Water words

During a weekend of water words and flowing people, we were asked to write a question. i wrote this. it might only make sense to me!


burning need.
passion is fire
fuelled by water.
pulsating heart
is sunshine for my belly seed of change.
listen.
trust.
mycelium style growth for change


Water is passion!

...and I'm feelin' good

It's been a long time but I"m feeling alive and excited and ready to live to the fullest!

i had the best evening last night. My dear cousin had a major role in his highschool play Dracula and I, now living in Calgary for a winter, got to see it! The play was gory and fabulous and being in a highschool was hilarious again. i loved every minute. being around a different age group, feeling the energy from hormones!, seeing excitment for success after months of hard work and passion for friendship. Being with family: grandma, uncle, cousin and her son. awesome.

From there i went to meet friend Leila who i haven't seen in years and we had So Much to Say! We talked til the cafe closed, then moved onto a bench for the next hour til our feet were so numb we hobbled to the car and kept on spinning dreams and passions and world views and ideas for change and for birthday parties and for keeping it real and never forgetting that the earth is not our stage it is our roots and life force and like a family member who is sick has to be given the best of care. Remembering where the heart is, how water brings the heart to life.

i'm so pumped and alive and feeling it and connected to truth again. There are such incredible people everywhere! i want to do street plays and paint the intersections with beautiful pictures on my birthday to remind people that a garden could be there if it wasn't concrete! there are so many creative ways to get the word out, the word to THINK and to REACT and to get out of the numb routine

YES!

pumped! loving opportunity again. and loving friends so much.

Friends sent me a cheque for Rajan's meds in India (a brother who just got through dengue fever) and included a note that said, "thank you for caring about people in India and letting us be part of it too!" and it made me smile a really big smile

it feels so good to care. To not be empty and living numbly. To not accept that everything is as it should be because they said so. to look for truth and seek out passions and listen with honesty.

big feelings of change and excitment after an inspirational few days.

yay!
