Love 'n Fun

I am blessed with the sweetest, and the wierd thing is...My life looks NOTHING like what I expected, I have experienced what should have been hardship but turned out to be the path that revealed my true nature...Huh, all bets are off when transformation comes...Oh and the depth of feeling of the love and appreciaton...God, inside us, is the love of a "healthy celled" being! Love Laugh appreciate- It is a short trip...Today I'm telling everyone who is instrumental in my unfolding...how I feel..Try it, they will love it and you will feel it too (Micheal, Donald, Wendy, Steve, Rattana, Guru Dev, Guy, RevKev, Anja, D, KO, and more)

The Spot is a place I swim, on the Point near The Yacht Club. I also loll in the sun and get tanned, and read one of my latest books. Now I am reading Lynn Twist book "The Soul of Money" It is a very good spiritual book on leadership through stewardship and sufficiency. A must read for all those aligning their lives for full expression of God's purpose for you on earth.

I digress, so Pat is back in town-my dear friend that swims with me down at the Spot. Since Pat lives in Mexico for 3/4's of the year, the water seems cold here..We always have a short adjustment..but we are back on track for water fun. And we have the best bone drenching intimate conversations of any of my buddies. There is a soul connection. We will be swimming today , after church....Yippee!

Although, I was at the spot yesterday..alone...and I got a bit burnt-I think I can take a few more hours of "fun in the sun" with Pat!

I had a facial last week to clean up the clogged pores and just on general principle..The young esthetician, noted "your skin is good", and it is "healthy, and supple" Hahaha, I have been out in the sun since I was 16, several decades and I believe that I enjoy the experience so much (since I enjoy the water SO MUCH) that it has not harmed me or my skin...enjoyment makes up for many health related issues. I enjoy the activity of open water swimming- I get sun as a byproduct (and as a thawing out) I am so happy that I am not damaged by what the experts would swear was damaging for a human.

There is another mystery element here...When she asked what nationality I am- I gave the pat and true answer:

Mostly Irish, some Welsh, and Some French and English....Of course I am very dark skinned with the sun and to a certain extent naturally- this does not add up, eh?

She said," You have a yellow tone under your tan, as I do..and I am Italian..I'd guess that you were Italian, Portuguese, of some Latin descendent". Hmmm, well the Romans got to Ireland, The Moors near Wales, or could it be another extract? Or was there a Latin or another dark skinned antecedent in my past?
Who am I? Maybe someone different than I have been told, in fact, probably someone different...And it doesn't really matter at all.

I am a self expression of God, as are you. If we have the courage to go to the shadow spaces(I Love you Wendy G), bruised, and passionate places..fearlessly be who we are (in a world full of shoulds, and image) we will manifest God's purpose in this incarnation. It was difficult for me, since I walked around in fear of (??) my true self. And what may happen to me from my loving earth family if I revealed the "truth of me"...Thank God I meant some really outstanding, crazy humans that had already self actualized (accepted themselves) to a fairly high degree...Thank you God, Thank you M, I love you M! (D I love you, "all the way live")(and S I love you and the experiential embodiment with your unconditional love)(GuruR, and your wonderful loving space and teachings)I have mentors, BUT I have done much of the grunt work on my own...through meditation, reading, and feeling.

I have a tangential soapbox today, it is a function of not posting in awhile-all the tangential thoughts are complied in one blog...

What do all these tangents have in common? I love the spot, my dear friend, my mentors, myself...Love...and FUN I am having fun playing and loving...This is the richness of living...How really lucky I am!!! Rick Jarrow says once you have found your purpose (porpoise?) you will find the gatekeeper spirit that is responsible for your entry...Cool or "Kewl" as D says!(D, is the lovely poetic inspiration)
Appreciation is healthy for you and those you appreciate....It is OK to appreciate seemingly "upsetting" happenings, they may be the impetus that allows you to accept change AND transformation...Getting the glue off your hiney..so to speak..to move on to your glory!

And So It Is!
