Journeying up the mountain
where my Ego has a chance to hear itself
and my ideas of rights and wrongs show themselves
more quickly…
Journeying up the mountain
of my own nature
seeing myself in relation to another
…What is all this silence inside of me?
…And what about all these moments of affinity
and leaning in your direction—is it a grasping sorta thing?
Could it be anything else?
…What is it that I seek in knowing you?
…What energies of attachment and wrong perception have made themselves known, spring emerge(n)see?
…Has something shifted?
…And in what “direction?”
Journeying up the mountain
pushing through the difficulties that are emerging
Journeying up the mountain of my being
pushing through the earth
this lil’ seedling comes to know itself more
comes to know its own nature
in the midst of mountain nature
in the mist of spring time mountain
energy!
Up here
Up the mountain
To the south+east!
Rejoice!

A JOY TO MEET YOU
(Up the mountain to San Cristobal de las Casas)
Dear Kalyanamitra,
A joy to meet you again, in this way.
A joy to meet you again, up the mountain.
A joy to meet you again, in the fullness of your moment to moment.
Heartful thanks for sharing your space with me these past few days. For creating space inside your everyday life to listen to me, to talk with me, to continue our interactions as they have arisen inside of us, moment to moment
Tomorrow is my last full day before leaving Friday morning back down the mountain to Tuxtla then to DF, then back to Tijuana and crossing over to the “other-other-other side.” May our final communication during this time emerge with ease and mindfulness.
I ask for your compassion through my unmindful thoughts, words and acts that emerged being with you this past week. I know I can begin to overthink and assume too much at times, to the point of causing more burden versus more freedom. Bow to your Truthful Vissuddha chakra.
After visiting you, I feel like I “know” a bit more about You, now. And it is a good feeling, finally encountering the place, the being and the life that you live up here in the mountain. You and this moment of singing like Saraswati, and being with your Soul with your bodhisattva of great action aspirations. I have had the joy of meeting your friends and the community in which you exist. They are very nice people and I pray that your relationships with these friends, comadres and compadres will lead you closer and closer to the healing that you took birth.
May my perceptions of you be clear and free. And those “ideas” and “misunderstandings” that represents incorrect view, may I be quick to realize it, and swiftly release my fear-based, ego-based, self-centered project about you and meet you on the Ground of your Truth
What happens after this moment?
I release
to the space
that exists between
now and the future that I so much desire to know…
But I release…
release and cultivate a moment to moment
feeling of being myself
and checking where my emotions
and my Being resides
so that when the conditions arise
for me to have the good fortune to see you again…
It will be in that moment when I will know
clearly, fully and completely
that which is This…
.
.

Dear Kalyanamitra,
The whole world rejoices from the sounds and songs of your heartful awakened celebration of our Divine Origins.
That which you are seeking, is also seeking you.
Maybe it has already found you! (wink, wink!)
See you again.
Namaste Universe…
Santi,
Jnaseh

Made it safely up the mountain to see a Dear Friend.
What a joy it is to see
and share in the moment to moment
unfolding of Life
in all of its usualness, plainness
and the bit of Light that peeks out
to surprise us —
What a joy it is to meet the community,
home and friends of a dear Friend
to know she is safe and touching the
depth of Being with each breath
through the smiles and happiness
through the uncertainties and edges of Self
…all of it and them some
All is well…
& All will be revealed…
What has been revealed for me, here
in the mountains of San Cristobal?
May another moment arise for me to sit and connect with the clarity of communication that has been this trip South+East -> Suroeste Explorations.
