Left Apple Valley after a short sweet visit with Satatma and Jesse. GEEZ the desert IS hot and windy. wowZa. left muy late in the afternoon and took all back roads. not so easy to reach the ocean in a straight shot. ended up needing sleep somewhere about half way on 166 West. so i stopped and curled up in the back, under the big big, filled with stars sky. i don't have a clock, no cell phone, and just got wireless hooked up on this little lappietop that sometimes just shuts off cause it's old and tired. so i didn't know what time it was when i woke, still dark. i drove about half an hour more and then decided it must be about 3 am cause i was very groggy still. slept a couple more hours and felt muy awake to make it all the way to cayucos. i LoVE cayucos. i was here about 10 years ago after a 2 week journey in the southwest with a dear friend, whom i left in Flagstaff...i still wonder if i hadn't left.... ANYWAY- i'm here. i spent the entire day here, in stillness. beach. sound of waves crashing over and over and over and clearing and cleaning me out inside out inside out. began the pele phase of my moon time while sitting in the warm sand. yummm. and spent much of the day with Paul. he's a retired ocean photographer with a heart of gold and generosity exploding in every direction. scones, mango juice, a beach chair, inspiration to spend time in baja, and just a general swell fellow traveler.
so, was "SUPPOSE TO" go to Power to the Peaceful first thing this a.m. A wake and Drive up to SF and it just didn't happen. just couldn't move yet. so much motion on this planet. like everything is trying to catch up to something. but it's just my tail. and i've already got that, so what else. i am starting to sift down into a lower gear. wondering what i choose without "Suppose to" (that's what i gave up for Lammas Day!) that and "Should". so i decided there would be more power to me if i find my own peaceful today.
So a theme is unfolding....LISTENING. i am learning to listen better, and i have much to learn from the world about this. i am starting with listening to my body better. listening to the rythmns within that are flowing, gently, strongly. what happens if i LISTEN and FOLLOW? what happens when i replace a should with what IS? what happens when i listen to the story of the ocean? where will she lead me?
i read Alice Walker's book (thanks Paolina) in two days..."Now is the Time to Open Your Heart". nice book to begin the journey. Open My Heart NOW....and what unfolds with the opening? in the book she talked about how the aboriginals get a "Call" from nature and they drop everything in the moment and go...2 days, 4, 5, months, whatever, to go on their walkabout. which is to reconnect with the earth and listen to the song she has to sing them. alice said something about how they sing EVERYTHING so they never forget. they have nature's song in their heart...they know where they are by songs of the earth and landscape, not maps.
i hear a faint call. it is getting louder. i am ready to know a new song.
