I thought about writing about my oatmeal. Then I thought that’s pretty boring. Then I thought no it’s not. I love my oatmeal. From the very beginning when I get out the cranberry colored pot and fill it half full with Nikken water then, I add what ever looks good. Today it was cranberries and chopped pecans. I flavored it with some maple syrup I was gifted with in Upstate NY. Then I grabbed my porridge bowl and filled it with the wooden spoon I used to stir the oats and other ingredients with. The porridge steamed in the bowl and the smell was nutty, mapley and the almond milk gave it a creamery sent. I gathered my bowl up in my hands and headed outside to sit in the cool breeze and warm sun. For a moment as I faced Nunda and gave great appreciation for this Earth Keepers form and the nourishment it would receive I was in ecstasy. Or at least I thought I was Then, I took my first bit and the taste was a delight of flavors and textures that thrilled my whole being. I savored each morsel. The song birds sang to me and as my spoon scraped the bottom of the bowl I gave another prayer of gratitude for the ALL.
It is in the moments of simplicity that our greatest moments can be lived or lost. Today I lived one of the many that make up this day.
“I have found we make real what we believe and our mind set determines our lifestyle and level of happiness.” * –Pa’Ris’Ha

I love you
Good morning my little love, I love you, I love you, Good morning my little love I love you, you love me too. (Image this sung to you in a beautiful tenor voice and in the language of love, French, Ulala). My lover sang me awake to this song one morning and my life has never been the same. I knew he heard me I have been told I was loved before in my life. But on this morning I allowed myself to feel it in every part of my being. I felt his love.
Nunda,(the Sun), and I share a similar intimate moment, that I have no wards for, I feel her wrap me in the warm embrace of the power of light and love she so garishly generates. This is like the strong embrace of my lover. Being enfolded in love, no matter what the source, there is no expectation in the moment only a pure exchange of love
This is not the only time in my life I have felt such powerful love. The first embrace from Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha was another time. Holding each of my children, grandchildren and great grand children for the first time and every time since have been filled with this extraordinary love feast. The different is today I am open to receive it at is purest form. I am able to hear in the very core of my being, I love you, you love me too. It is a full circle Without one you can not fully have the other. There can be no getter gift they to love and beloved, for love is all there is! This takes place in every moment of everyday!
You are loved and wrapped in a blanket of love! ILOVE YOU! I LOVE ME TOO!

Top of the morning
Top of the morning to one and all.
So the strangest thing happen to me on the way to Jaydens house. I have return to my Highlander roots. The bough that is rushing into my brain sounds so much better up there then when I try to actually speak it. I ask my self where might this be coming from? What does it matter just roll with it. Have a good time and take it were it may go! Aright then lets have some fun.
So while my mind child is having fun thinking with a wonderful accent I begin to have mini visions of Scottish plaids. I am warring purple today in honor of my friend Tina. (Today is her memorial service and purple is her favorite color). How fitting it is that I would be having this game with my mind child today. Tina always has a smile on her face and could warm your heart like the sun on the brightest day.
Just ahead of me a truck has pulled in front of me. I begin to read it tail gate. Oh happy day! The truck has a pitcher of a roof in rainbow colors with a little Lepricon dancing on top of it! Holly Saints preserve us, it’s Tina and her rainbow heart, she even has a pot of gold. dancing on the rainbow.
I don’t know what Tina’s linage is but at this moment in time it does not matter I am laughing with her! Come visit any time my friend.
Sometimes letting the child within have a play time can reward you with the greatest of gifts.
Let go Let God and enjoy the moments of your life here and now and then and there!

What possibility this day brings
What possibility this day brings!
I did not sleep well last till early this morning. No solid sleep till around 4am then I slept till 7:00. There was a distributions in my force filled. The nights this happen there is usually a birth or a crossing over at the time I do not seep one close to my person. It is now 10:30am and I have heard nothing about a birth or death.
These are the days I tell myself I need lots of additional rest to make up for what I did not get. I sleep most of the day. Well not today. The weather outside is gorgeous and my bike has not been ridden in months. I mount up on my bike and take off to the river. There is a small trail that I follow and watch the boats launch into the center of the river. There is one that is a very small sailboat, room enough for two. This one catches my eyes as I watch a woman and a young girl working the rigging and then they settle in for a ride down the river. How graceful they flow as the wind plays with their sail.
My attention is distracted by the children playing in the park they are chasing each other and giggling as the run round and round. There are adults swinging on swings. They have one eye on the children and the other on each other. The possibility they all have in my vision is bondless a day a peace and harmony.
Ahead of me is my favorite vegetable and fruit stand. New possibilities have arisen. The stand is open. I peddle over. There is a new addition to the stand. They are now make fresh fruit drinks. Good thing I grabbed my wallet before leaving the house. I order a blue berry smooth and watch as they mix it fresh in front of me. OH I wish you could taste this wonderful whey and blue berry mixture. I requested a little cinnamon be added. I will have to sacrifice and drink it for all of us. Wow it is good.
Now I go to get back on my bike. This beautiful purple bike with the milk crate mounted to the back fender. I still am amazed at how it came about. My son Raymond and I where talking about bikes and I told him all the thinks I would change on my bike to make it more comfortable for me. In just a couple of weeks he appeared with a bike that he had designed and built for me. Talk about possibilities. Raymond was out of work. He found the parts for my bike including the shocks for the front and back through recycling with friends. It was just as my minds eye had seen it.
I though my leg over the bar and release another possible has been met. I use to have to assist my leg to get it over the bar not today. With easy I was over the top and on the seat and off to my next destination. (Yes it is a woman’s cut bike not the high rise of a men’s bike.)
All of this occurred before 10:30am, even the pick up for Chuck at the drug store. My batteries are recharged and I am vibrant with the action of the day. My possibilities are open to what I choose my action to be. And to think I thought about covering my head and having my possibility be the inside of my blanket today!

Breaking records
Breaking records
I have slept in my bed for the last 5 nights. Wow, my record for this year was three nights in January, none of them in a row. I have been doing house cleaning. Normally Chucks job because he is home.
I have enjoyed doing the laundry, washing drying and putting away. The concept of going to a closet and having every thing there and ready to ware really appeals to me. Don’t get me wrong when it is time I don’t mind living out of the trunk of my car and my suit case.
It’s also very nice to get under the same blankets and use the same pillow every night. I can’t help thinking about what Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha said. Your home is where ever you are as long as you are happy in your own skin. Thank you for being the example of this Grandmother. I have seen you travel all over the world, teaching and helping those in need. The comfort and grace you move the alter of you to is beautiful.
On a much smaller scale this is how I live my life. Maintaining the place of rest of this alter as a place of beauty is a lesson you also taught me on my first walk about.
It was very late and there was only one small motel any where near by to spend the night. We opened the doors to our rooms and well they where well below the standers you held for us as a place to lay the alter upon. So, as a collative we set off to clean the place we would lay our bodies for the next few days.
At one poit I ended up setting on the floor next to you. I was cleaning out the air filter that was plugged. You where cleaning some thing else. As you began to talk I continued my work in the joy of knowing I would receive a teaching. You began, Do you know how many of those gathered do not know how precious there alter is. They where tired and would have just fallen into bed. They deserve a place of beauty and cleanliness to lay there body alter in to receive the rest they need. This was such a clear vision to me of who you are. One who wants only the best for me and you hold that space and teach me about the beauty of my alters. You always want only the best for all.

Mirror morning
Every morning is different for me. This morning I walked into my bathroom and In the mirror this extraordinary child of God stood looking at me. During the night I had many clearing tears come rushing through my being, over flowing with love for my friend Tina. I relived many of the precious memories we shared during her walk on the planet. I was not sad by any means. I only felt the joy and the peace she is for me.
As I looked at this precious child of God standing in front of my minds eye a chorus begans to sing. First they sang:
"For Once In My Life"
By Steve Wonder
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
Then I could hear the echo of my Grandmothers voice. Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha was sing her heart song. It penetrated deep within my being. I not only heard the wind I could feel it. As the words vibrated in my core and out of my mouth the image in the mirror began to glow with the love of us all.
I wrapped myself in the arms of God and ended this wonderful love fest with my heart chant. “I looked in the mirror and what do I see a child of God looking back at me.”
All of this is the story of all of us. Every day is a day of miracles when we open and know it is so.
I stand in a place where I can say to others if you have not opened to your knowing walk with mine until you open to yours. I see your greatness in the reflection of me as you.
