Having a birthday on April 21st,
lands me right between 4-20,
a day that celebrates cannabis culture,
and 4-22,
Earth Day.
Tell me this happy coincidence doesn't just beg for fun!
Ahh, lovely April.
Ahh,
fun with my sisters this month,
whom I also land right between in birth order.
Birthdays always float with a mix of play and quiet reflection for me.
It's more a time for refreshing and reorganizing for me than New Years is.
It's a date that marks my own personal new year.
Don't you love the possibilities of a clean slate,
of a new age to try on,
that arrives for you too every birthday?

Looking back,
one of the very first articles I had published in the LATimes featured The Heard Museum in Phoenix.
That was before I lived in Arizona.
Now that I do,
it's such a joy to be a member.
To attend curated lectures on new and permanent exhibits.
To participate in art classes.
Native American flute music floats in the air outside, inviting you in and setting the tone.
Added bonuses include sculpture gardens,
hand crafted silver jewelry,
and an enchanting book store.
If you visit Phoenix,
it's a beautiful and informative stop.
You can sit in the beautiful courtyard and enjoy lunch from the cafe or a cuppa from the coffee shop too.

In a world where more and more things are automated, there is such a romanticism to working with our hands,
and taking time to absorb and appreciate those who do it so masterfully.

Here's a thought:
Your peace isn't just for you.
It makes you:
less reactive,
less co-dependent,
better able to let things go,
and more spacious to be around.
It's for all.
This is why we practice.
Our time "on the cushion" isn't only for us while we're seated there.
It's for the energy and awareness we bring with us when we're out living life,
and engaging with others.
Make the effort.
Practice.
Grow deep roots.
It's worth the time.
What we do in private strengthens & enriches us.
Not to mention,
you know;
others.

Oh we are thinking beings.
Such intelligent,
imaginative,
intuitional thoughts and ideas can fill our days and dreams.
But we can also get caught in loops of useless, stagnant, worrisome dead-ends.
This is where the steering mechanism of meditation can help.
Meditation has never been about stopping our thoughts. (pretty much impossible)
Meditation teaches us to pay attention to our thoughts.
To bring them back to the present moment,
the current breath,
when they wander off to places that are a waste of time and energy.
Meditation enables us to hold thoughts lightly.
To smile & wink at them.
When I notice my brain looping around and around to no good end,
or chewing on the same old bone,
I call it out.
I know it's trying to help me,
I know it biologically tends to repeat tired old thoughts because doing so preserves its energy.
I know it thinks there's a problem,
so I assure my brain that I love it.
"Thank you,"
I tell it,
"but I've got this."
And we move on.
Now we're both happier.
Meditation?
It cleans out the junk drawer.
It makes room for all the good stuff:
ideas, intelligence, intuition, inspiration.

I think all our hearts and sense of wonder went with them.
We held a collective breath at their fiery re-entry,
and held a hand to heart "thank-you, thank-you," as they bobbed safely in the blue Pacific.
Artemis Il astronaut, Victor Glover, said,
"Trust us, you look amazing. You look beautiful. From up here you look like one single thing. We are all Homo sapiens, no matter where you come from or how you look.
✨
On a much smaller scale,
traveling far from home ON our planet has taught me that all people eat, laugh, cry,
love, dream, smile,
live for a time and then pass,
making way for those to come.
The part of travel we don't plan,
is the encounters and stories that open our eyes and hearts at unexpected moments,
to understanding each other,
and when we do,
we help lift the collective.
We feel a kinship.
That's the richest thing we bring home.
Thank you Artemis Il astronauts and NASA,
for inspiring and reminding us.
Wow!
Just, wow!

Wishing you something new,a step or two outside your comfort zo
The poof I use out back is unraveling.
I assumed it was because of the intense heat every summer.
Until recently,I saw fluttering shadows of bird wings on the house and looking out the window,I spied birds filling their beaks with the spiraling yarn.
🎶🎼🎶#birds#birdsong #nest
And sitting outside last night under the full "pink" moon, I said to my husband,
"Imagine being one of those four astronauts and looking up at our dreamy,beautiful,ever loyal moon,knowing that that'swhere your journey will be taking you."
In fact,looping even beyond & around 🌕🌓
