this was my walk yesterday, watching the fog roll down the mountain until i realized it wasn't fog, it was a cloud full of rain. i walked home slowly, soaking wet with my face to the sky.
last week was a big week, here's what i learned:
1) emotional wisdom trumps intellectual wisdom. period. the emotions know, the body knows. the mind, well, it thinks it knows and if it doesn't know then it has to figure it all out and six thousand different issues and problems arise at once and one can sit forever at the kitchen table paralyzed. what is felt may not be what is wanted by the mind. go there and dance there in terror and in freedom until only freedom remains.
2) it is really not easy to follow the heart. it sounds simple and it is but it isn't easy. it's a true discipline and badass warriors of light didn't get there by not leaping into the heart's unknown deep.
3) it sucks to lose a key and have to pay to rekey a whole house.
4) i don't care about most things i cared about before i came to stay on this island. i was totally misinformed as to who i was and what i wanted.
5) leap into and towards what scares you in action as well as intention. scared to try something, talk to someone, BE someone? do it right now.
6) the results of anything you do can't be predicted. do not try. the greatest gifts come from being with and seeing the present moment. they can be totally missed when you don't accept them because they don't look like you think they should.
7) chocolate and peanut butter are still a perfect thing.
8) don't hide. you know what i mean.
