How to live this day fully?

Date:   5/25/2005 11:18:59 AM ( 19 y ago)

What kind of day is this?

On the journey toward the Marriage
with God--June 12--
the holiday named Shavuot--
the Festival of Seven Weeks
between the Passover and the Symbolic
meeting at Sinai--
This is the week of Hod on the Tree of Life.

According to Rabbi Ted Falcon in his
Enchanted Garden book of the month called
A Journey of Awakening, Kabbalistic Meditations
on the Tree of Life, the Sefirah of the Week is Hod.

Hod, he says, represents the forms of sensations--
the images, touches, sounds, tastes, and smells
that we perceive.

Hod brings sensory information
already containing mental
and emotional form.

Through Hod, he says,
we begin to truly know ourselves in the world.

We move into higher levels of awareness
by becoming aware of
our current experience.
Hod, he says, informs our current experience
of the world.

These are sensations we appreciate as well as those we do not,
just as there are feelings we are more comfortable with than others.

We can begin to honor and explore that energy
when we do not get caught
up in the container.
It is the acceptance of the container that allows
us to move beyond it.

Today is the 31st day of the journey up the mountain.

He writes, we bring the energies of Tiferet,
Beauty and Compassion,
into our weekly sefirah of Hod today
Into the space of Physical Sensation
we bring the blessings of the Heart,
that compassion might southe
the journey of the body in ordinary time and space.

I woke up today feeling lots of pain.
I am not comfortable in the appearances
and the sensations I am feeling.

I am not comfortable in the forms
that are surrounding me this day.

The world of detail is clamoring for attention.
There are more details to be handled that can be handled.
I am feeling impactful circumstances.
I am seeing messes.
I am seeing clothes on the floor,
a crockpot asking to be cleaned
and refreshed with new holy food
to nourish my bones and being
and Chinese herbs that will give strength
to my bowel.

I am looking at the sensations and emotions
that come from contacts on my computer that have been
lost in the world of Computer Mayhem
that deletes and loses.

I am looking at the EG Mobile in need of
a New Master Cylinder
that has finally come into the
Bug House.

I am looking at a pile of things on my chair.
I will be more comforable in my skin
when that chair is empty.

There is a box returned from a friend--
I sent her shawls to empower her journey--
she would not accept them.
She said apply the money to your Car bill.

I felt rich and wealthy when I made this gesture
of a gift.

I was honoring and supporting artists in Italy and
Turkey who made these shawls.
I was giving money to my dear Arabic friend Hani
When the shawls were returned from her I felt poor.
I would never return them to the Hani.
It would be insulting. The money I would get
back will not even touch the cost of repairs.
That money will be raised by me being in the right
frame of mind and simple trusting and continuing the journey.
So what do I do with those Shawls???
They are in limbo. They are now clutter.

And then there is my bed.
Here I see magazines that I collected in L.A.
during my Passover Trek.

They all relate to marketing ideas for The Seven Love Cures Reading
I thought I would do at Niri's Tea House
on June 12. I am sensing now, delay that reading,
stay home. Be here now. Be here and take care of details.
Do that reading around the Jewish New Year.

My astrology confirms this.
IT says "Scorpio--what you do now is detail work
for a great outpouring of good things what will happen later."
(paraphrase from memory)

Rachel, housemate, and Anthony , her cousin,
are enthusiastic about doing
some clearing this weekend. At the same time,
it is Peter Dukich's 90th Birthday. I filled out the card
saying I would travel up to Costa Mesa to attend
this auspicious celebration in the life of a man who
understands for more than 50 years the power of making
biodynamic compost.

Am I still going to that????

So how do I play out this day???

OTA--the Organic Trade Association--photos--
I need to burn a disk of digital images and get
this overdue completion in the mail.
That will feel so very good on this day of
Tiferet in the week of Hod.

Then, at 10:30 AM, I will pack up my computer
and go down--YES! YES! to give the EG Mobile its
due--a New Master Cylinder--so I can coordinate safely this
physical world.

I will work on finding my contacts on my backup external drive
as Larry works on the EG Mobile.

I will go now to do some laundry--clearning the space
on the floor.

I will empty the crock pot and make an alchemical soup
of herbs and fish to feed my bowel and brain.

I will make my bowel some basmati rice and raisins
and get that going.

I will be my own best friend today,
wearing blinders
honing and "hodding" in and not feeling
the wide range of emotions
that will detract me from what truly can be done
on this beautiful day.

Love to me from me...
Your Enchanted Gardener
