Continued on my obsession with Saturn in Libra this weekend…

and watched FIERCE LIGHT film online…

…and a Youtube series on 2012 things both “troubling” and “uplifting…”

…and cleaned and swept, and fed the goats all this food from my mom’s house…

and celebrated my Ate’s birthday(!!!) and joked with my mother…

read up on the beginning of the 6th night according to Mayan Calendar Sciences…

and picked up kalyanamitras from the airport…

and viewed pics of the Berlin Wall 20th Celebration “tomorrow…”

and now…am trying to unwind for the night…

another big work week ahead…

Sending good thoughts out there to all my family and friends near and far…

Calling forth all that supports us to do our work in this lifetime…

From Twitter:

Being depressed is a sign that ur mind is stuck in deep selfishness arising from wrong expectations. ~tsem tulku rinpoche

Dear Santa clause, for Xmas i want to SAVE THE WORLD FROM GLOBAL WARMING, DEFORESTATION & DESTRUCTION OF ANIMALS. P.S. and meet madonna.

Being urself is one step closer to the actual real enlightenment of a Buddha. So go for it!~ tsem tulku rinpoche

Blaming others is the ugly head of insecurity rearing itself up again. ~tsem tulku rinpoche

Saturn!

Again and again!

All good, I’ve accepted, all good, you are a teacher-friend.

Saturn enters Libra now and I’m trying to resource myself to understand its energies and qualities. Here are some sites I’ve visited and found some clarification:

Saturn in Libra moves through my 6th house.

Also, as a Sag rising, it is moving through my 11th house (or something like that!) I don’t really know all the details, but I’m tryna learn!

Om Sri Ganesha Namaha!

Om Dzambhala Zalendraye Soha!

Om Sarasiddhi Hring Hring Soha

Good morning…

Setting a motivation…

Tasks of things-to-do heavy on the head already…

(and a breathing space in between, here and there…)

Establishing self in the present moment…

May the day be well…

BLESSINGS!  LOVE & LIGHT TRIUMPHS!

May Maha Laxmi’s Abundant Care & Blessings Surround You!

Breathing…

remembering to breathe…

letting the tension and stress and mind-work take over…

forgetting that which is the Awareness over this present moment…

Beginning again…

Returning…

Stopping…

Releasing…

Breathing…

Calming…

Or mentally distracting…

again and again…

beginning again…

over and over…

the effort to lean into the moment…

as it is…

just like this…
Seeing everything dissolve into the breath

and the Awareness that lives in the breath…

One moment at a time…

Health and well-being as the fall season transitions and communicates its arrival…what a wonderful cause for happiness!

Food distribution program in the works with a local Dharma Bums Center…and Kechara Soup Kitchen project link shared with the DBC…what a wonderful cause for happiness!

Attending training yesterday and being given some good resources, clarifications and links to utilize for the classroom…what a wonderful cause for happiness!

Finding out about Prescott’s Ph.D. in Education and Sustainability…and sharing some ideas with a dear friend about its potential and possibilities for us…what a wonderful cause for happiness!

Invoking Saraswati!  What a wonderful cause for happiness!

Lemon verbena leaves made into tea…

what a wonderful cause for happiness!

Feeling a sense of ease on this Sunday morning…

what a wonderful cause for happiness!

Breathing in the fullness of Life with all of its bells of mindfulness…

to appreciate what we have in the present moment and stop to dwell in this refuge of gratitude…what a wonderful cause for happiness!

Seeing myself take the path of new beginnings, again and again and again…

what a wonderful cause for happiness!

To guide…

To be…

To vow…

To be in community and respect the community always…

To remember love always, in all ways…

Met with Soul Shamanic Sangha friends today to check in before the last three months of 11 Gateway Year arrives. We “made” it this far. This is it!

What will flower within us as the 11 Gateway Year comes to its completion?

What will be the emergence that appears?

What surprises will wake us up into more JOY and BEINGNESS?

How much can I ALLOW to happen without me participating in the DOING?

Will I surrender before I enter?

How much Karma will I bring into the Gateway?

Will it even survive upon entrance?

Will I? Will my small-self i survive? Will it hide somewhere I cannot detect or will not allow myself to detect? Will I be an accomplice to its survival and validation? Or will I allow the fullness of Being to completely burn away
