many moons

since I last posted, and what of it?

Reading over my words here, I wonder at how far I've come.

I have my home on wheels, my nesting place, my anchor. I am making plans for the coming year, travel art and craft. Plans for mexico and black rock city and new corners of this big beautiful planet.

(Life expands forth)

And India? Can I be moving farther and closer at the same time?

This is the circular nature of things.

What a TRIP

this time

Is special, according to some. We are approaching the winter solstice, which can be seen as the beginning of a new year. A Mayan cycle is ending, and from what I have heard; this is a time for letting things go and manifesting future glory! Combined with the consumer Christmas season, what a powerful paradox, right? Everywhere that I look are messages telling me to change this and buy that. 

What I want most of all to leave behind is this urge to consume. From what I put in my body to what I put on my bank card, I have a sneaky feeling that most of it is a big fat waste. What wolf am I feeding anyways?

I would like to create, and make do. I would like for the output to equal the input. That is all, please. :)

weirdly

Getting a big fat rejection actually feels kinda good, in a sharpish pin prick kind way. Why? Because with each no I receive, I am that much closer to another YES. 

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.....

Joyful moments

I now own two more cameras, a 35mm point and shoot and a classy wooden pinhole. Oh BOY! Also, I hope to expand my emotional portfolio. xo

more and more

I am noticing parallels between me and this beautiful Kitty, my great grandmother.

I'm the kind of person who...

Contemplating

Another long drive just to get some space, mostly emotional. xo

I like to think

That I would be happy living in a tipi in the woods. And then I remember dampness, and the darkness of a northwest winter. 

It gets cold tomorrow.

Confession

Sometimes I still buy uncomfy clothing because of how it looks. I'm getting over that, slowly and surely. xo

today

I will find a pair of dust goggles

Your creative spirit type is: Journey Walker

'Journey Walkers' Laura Hollick with Journey Walkers. Photo by Kevin Thom.

You are on a journey.  You are searching to find your purpose and heal all the pieces that have disconnected you from your truth.  Your great power is your desire and passion for learning and discovering.  You might take this quality for granted, but know that it is desire and passion that creates worlds.  You are ripe to burst into a new level of awareness and launch a dream that has been held within you forever.  When you feel safe you have a childlike openness which keeps your mind young and healthy.  There may be lots of questions swirling around within you right now, write them all down on a piece of paper and release them to the wind for every single one will be answered as you continue on your journey.

Your greatest challenge:  While you are on the journey to know and discover who you really are you can feel lost and confused.  The journey can feel tiresome at times because you might think it would be easier if you just had all the pieces. But, your challenge is to trust your process and know that it is unfolding perfectly with your best interest at heart.

Your greatest opportunity:  You are on the journey of discovering your true purpose.  This is the opportunity of a lifetime. You are on track to ignite a dream held deep within.

Your call to action:  Trust yourself as you continue to move forward on this journey.  Keep moving forward even when you can’t see where you are going. Think of a situation in your life where you need to trust yourself more.  What would you do if you did trust yourself?  Do that now.

SACRED ADVERTISEMENT 

May you eat an unfamiliar dessert in a strange land at least once every three years. 

May you wake up to salsa music one summer morning and start dancing while you're still half-asleep. 

May you spray-paint Rilke poems as graffiti on highway overpasses. 

May you mix stripes with plaids, floral patterns with checks, and yellowish-green with brownish-purple. 

May you learn to identify by name 20 flowers, 15 trees, 10 clouds and one extrasolar planet. 

May you put a bumper sticker on your car or bike that says, "My god can kick your god's ass!" 

If you bury your face in your tear-stained pillow and beg God to please send you your soul mate, may you not slur your words in such a way that they sound like "cell mate." 

May you dream of taking a trip to the moon in a gondola powered by firecrackers and wild swans. 

May you actually kiss the earth now and then. 

May you find many good excuses to say, as physicist Niels Bohr once did, "Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true."

The preceding oracle comes from Rob's book, PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings. 

Thinking I am almost due for foreign desserts in strange lands...

yes please
