Day to Day, Now to Now. The Infinte Dance Of Life

I haven’t been writing since my return from the sea, as I have been so engaged in the many realities bursting into being since my return. I am so present now that if I write if I do & if I don’t, I don’t.

I really did appreciate though the writing of the days out at sea, highlighting the process, sharing the beauty, the focus of experience. I want to write more often of this experience of life so I begin now. There is just so so so much joy & wonder to be. There is so much opportunity for fulfillment & expansion. The universe is so abundant & unlimited that right now I am free to be as being is, then shift at any time to what is now. The universe provides so abundantly that as long as I am in connection all that I need is provided.

This all makes for a very exciting, expansive, creative experience. For as I desire, opportunity is provided, as expansion occurs change blasts forth in manifestation of adventure in many forms.

The journey at sea had so many levels of potent experience. Yet now here I am only getting 1 day of sun since my return! It has been sunny quite a few days but not enough so to take off my cloths & bask in it as I so love. Yet this is also just a new now, so much opportunity here as well.

I have done 3 art shows in the last 5 days & quite enjoyed it. I got my first printing of the Cortez journey made & received 2 days before my first show of the week. I have framed some, made my own frames for many, made post cards wall art & a new genius inspired creation of sustainability & beauty. This creation is a piece of handmade paper with a print sowed onto the paper in the middle with string over the corners of the photo so that the print itself is not punctured. Then on the back side, attach a handmade envelope the same way as the print. This envelope is attached to the paper as is the photo but both of them are able to be removed & replaced as desired. This gives the possibility to change out the picture on this card/art with a new picture based on the season the day or in the case of re sending the card to another. The envelope on the back makes possible writing hand written letters on nice paper of any length desired being able to put that in the envelope then send it as a card or use it as a place to write notes to household or family for notifications. Also the envelope itself could be removed & replaced if desired.
Then attach a braided cord to the top so that it can be hung from a nail or hook so that it can appreciated. This makes a beautiful handmade piece of art that can be sent as a card for a special occasion, hung & appreciated as art for as long as desired by any party & be sent then resent again & again thus sharing a sustainable greeting/blessing of beauty.

I have quit a few really epic prints but have only put 8 extraordinary prints to enlargement for this first run. I have sold 2 of them so far & defiantly want to add a few more in the next run. I make all the postcards, greeting cards & wall hangings of handmade paper from a run of epic smaller prints of a set of 60. All of the smaller epics I also take custom orders for large blown up prints, framed or unframed for these smaller prints as well as make custom card sets with a single photo or combination of photos of choice. This makes for a specialized card set for a specific taste or purpose.

I have really loved the process of printing as it is a whole new level of photography. The paper that is chosen the finish that is chosen & with digital prints every printer is printing differently & every monitor is displaying differently so a huge spectrum of color variation to work with. I have found that it is wise to get a printer profile of any printer that I am printing with even professional printing places. Then to get a monitor display program that aligns my monitor with the color profile of the printer that is to be used. This means that any new place I get prints from I may need to tweak each photo again. Also based on my monitor I may not be even seeing the picture as it will look as it is printed unless I have my monitor color profile tweaked to match.

Really engaging photography has influenced my life very much. As I see the world I am seeing it from the eye of the photographer. I am taking in the light, angles, shadows, & how visuals would look when captured in a focused frame. It is amazing how much tiny spots of isolated beauty can be found all over. For me in nature finding those beauty shots is quite easy, in suburb shopping areas or airports it is much more limited but still there are great shots to get. It has also brought my perception to a place of documentation, capture, sharing & such. Meaning that I am perceiving my life as a picture & this writing can be like a photograph in a way as well. I may focus on an aspect of my life, frame it, capture it then share it like a photo. My whole life is not captured in a page just like the whole world is not captured in 1 photo. However there are great highlights, extremes, uniqueness’s, & other various frames that are enjoyable to partake in. I love how various passions meld & fold into other aspects of life evolving large spectrum's of experience not just isolated activities. This is really important for me for I feel there is so much to be enhanced by in experience. Like during the sailing adventure I was able to experience living at sea, a life that comes with many new normal realities. I got to download new sailing abilities. I got to really engage photography at a level I was not previously doing while also having a playground of beautiful photographic opportunity. I was able to get great experience in new contrasts, scenery, & location shooting. I was able to commune & evolve from the spirit of the sea. I was able to explore new lands & meet new people. There was all this enhancing experience & more from ONE trip! Not only that but those enhancements also enhanced other areas of my life. Thus contributing to a very enhancing experience!

Winter Solstice Vortex

Started this epic solstice weekend off with a grand celebration of joy & wonder in Dallas at the Cathedral of hope for the second largest of its kind. I had the honor of calling the place to focus with the didgeridoo as the event began. The didgeridoo is such a divine space holder for clarity & focus. I then left the stage to meld in the flow of the event to come. There was much play, dance, sound & much to be shared by those present. I was part of various aspects of the celebration including 6 more didj pieces throughout the night with other various sound channels. Cornell, Charity, Ann, Gary to name a few. I was there until the Cathedral closed playing the last vibes of the vortex & accepting gallons of left over soup to utilize in a sustainable fashion. I am thankful to have been part of the event.

Just leaving from the Synergy event as the sun has risen & the people have dispersed. Been dancing, eating, drinking, singing, smiling, huggin, enjoying, & enhancing all night. Really powerful didj session tonight to bring the event to a focused, peaceful place together. We felt about as connected as connected feels. So present, in tune with the now, thoughtless, projection less, free & alive. So thankful to have the space to bring forth such sound creating a vortex for such experience. Great large circle of beings, heads in the middle receiving & enhancing the reality. So much energy coming through while simultaneously being released. I love how the focus & presence of the beings involved coordinate the unfolding of the didj journeys. So much individual channel coming through for the potency of those involved.

Chilling here in Austin enjoying this fantastic city, one of my favorite indeed. There is more winter solstice action going on here today and I will be providing the breath for another round of didgeridoo at winter solstice in the park. Tis another bright sunny day with so so so much opportunity available!
I love being in awareness that the universe provides all, that all I need to do is show up, let go, embrace opportunity & be in connection with inspiration from within. So much potential in the power of the unknown in faith.

It seems as if every day I am reborn again. For when I remember that there is nothing I have to do, there is nothing I have to be, I remember that nothing matters. Because nothing matters I am completely free to choose anew the entirety of my existence. All plans, ideas, beliefs, patterns are re considered & either shed or chosen again. It is very powerful to exist from a place of now in the awareness that right now anything is possible & non of it matters….besides what is made to matter. What it seems to come down to is what my preferences are for it is within preference that meaning exists.

Coming from a place of this is the way it is supposed to be or this is the way it is supposed to happen can be a limiting place of manifestation. It is important to be aware of what is & to also accept that. For it is in acceptance of what is that we may choose anew. Now to be in acceptance of what is & also realize that if something happens, yet we still desire another outcome, we may empower that, to choose anew, to re align so that a new reality is possible. To me this is a perfect palace of acceptance AND empowerment.

It is quite often in life that one encounters “failure” or “missed opportunity” this however can turn into learning, adjusting, evolving, perspective, preference, or other beneficial realities so a lot of what “failure” tends to mean is transformed into process for the upgrade. It is all possible now yet for some reason one may falter. This may be part of it & that’s ok. TO let go & now engage again from a place of focus is beneficial.

This played out perfectly in poetic fashion as me 7 Shellie recorded a winter solstice sound session. As I did sound checks to get mic levels right on the didj & Tibetan bowls, I got the balance where I wanted it & we proceeded to channel potent beautiful divine graced sounds for 25 minutes or so. We came to a pausing point & I checked the recorder to find out it had not been recording at all! These sounds un able to be reproduced channeled in the moment of a vortex by the river. I now had an opportunity to believe these sounds were not ment to be recorded, to be angry over the fact, to feel loss at the reality or to be done with it all together after being disheartened. Instead we laughed did sound checks again & made sure it was recording again. This time the sound that came through was different but it was as powerful as potent as that before it. One could call this a test maybe to see if recording was important enough to stick with it or one could simply continue to choose based on what is important right now knowing that it is available now. Either way if I were to have chosen that not getting a recording was what was supposed to be then I would have got nothing at all instead of just a different variation in a different set of nows. Every new now is an opportunity now to choose again, NOT based on the past but based on what is important NOW!

Another beautiful example played out tonight at our dispense for the sake of this session. We got invited to a sweat, pot luck & house party after the winter solstice celebration. It was about a 45 minute drive & the directions I got were all by word of mouth without any paper or documentation of the directions. When we got very close, the way that was within me was lost at the last road, as I did not know the house address. We did not have a phone number for the place we were going or anyone else that was at the party. We called someone to get a number for someone who was at this house. We left a message as there was no answer. The time approached for the sweat to start & passed. We had chosen to just sit in the car on the side of the road. Exchanging messages taking a short power rest, then the phone rang. It was the girl at the house with directions. She said my phone has been off we are about to start the sweat where are you. We were there within 3 minutes & perfectly on time for the sweat!

In the moments of not knowing where to go, not having a phone number, being out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the cold night we had many moments to make choices, to have feelings/reactions to our circumstances. By sitting & embracing what was, because it was what was while also holding true to the reality of being at the sweat it worked itself out perfectly. Not according to plan nor as I may have thought it would turn out but perfectly none the less. There were so many moments to move with a different path, to feel a different range of feelings to have different thoughts thus effecting where & how our night would play out.

There is so much power in the unknown for in the unknown anything is possible. There is also the most potential for fear as if one fears, then the unknown is very scary.
We had a nice sweat, a couple hours worth, didjing, singing, bowling, sweating, purifying, & focusing. We then enjoyed a feast of various potluck delectable’s. I sure do love to eat after fasting, cleansing, and other purifying events. It is like death and rebirth yin and yang that contrasting experience fulfilling and amplifying each other. I give thanks!

We have been playing in more sound for the last couple hours upstairs in this sweet wooden floor square dance/yoga/sound room with great acoustics. We had 7 drummers, some Tibetan bowls, didgeridoo, singers, flute, sax, it was epic! Just jamming away tuning into sound & each other through the process of letting go to the experience. I just love how well the spirit of sound can orchestrate so many people in a harmonized enjoyable way without any definable communication between the people at hand. THAT IS DIVINITY AT WORK! I am part of that; I surrender to that possibility, that opportunity that perfection while also embracing life force in its abundance!
After two really long nights of dancing, didjing, singing, playing without any sleep I feel great. By eating really quality foods, being part of a lot of really potent sound medicine & dancing in tune with the life force, sure channels lots of energetic potential. I have been aware of the power of sound medicine but after these solstice didjing journeys & this sound experience here tonight I am aware of it as ever! I am still sitting here an hour after everyone but the bowls have disappeared & yet still feel fulfilled, satisfied & called to sit here in enjoyment of their sound. It really doesn’t get any better than this! What a wonderFULL blessing to be so fulfilled so simply with such a renewable available source. The resonance of these bowls is amazing, the huge spectrum & layers of sound just blow me way AND tune me in! YES

~Present~


I sat in meditation yesterday, present, so in love with the moment that being naked in a squat on the bedroom floor was as much as I could wish for. As the awareness came to me that I was in agreement to meet my mother, sister and brother from out of town in 30 minutes. Putting on cloths, getting in the car to drive someplace to pay to drink, to talk, get back in a car then come home to this bedroom later that night, all seemed very silly. Yet I also felt that though I was complete in the moment & did not desire nor need anything, that I would still put on my cloths to get in a car to drive to a place and drive back home again..hehe hehe… so I pondred. “If I am to do this anyways it would be in my best interest to choose to do this, engage it & enjoy the process for its now potential.

So I got up took a 4 minute shower put on my silks, put my hair up & was ready to go like I had been getting ready for the event of the day.

When I drive down the road even though I am using gas preciously, honoring the path that has been provided before me, I still don’t like the info structure that the system is based on. Cars that run on fossil fuels, which drive on roads that cut down the earth and plaster it in cement. Yet I also feel driving is something that I am going to continue to be a part of. I can embrace it for what it is, focus on upgrades I can implement & utilize myself & continue to focus on what is important, what I enjoy & am called to do. Am I part of a system of unsustainability…..? Yes in a sense I am yet also I am most sustainable & efficient by embracing & expanding instead of blaming & fighting. If something is really important to me then I will find ways to implement it into my life.

I have not yet used any electrical, gas or any grid heating methods in the last 2 years. As I sit here & write this it is as cold inside as it is out. The sun has come up so its actually becoming warmer outside than in. I can see my breath thick like smoke. I do not disdain this nor experience this as torture. It is fun, it is fulfilling & inspiring for me. Because by doing this I am supporting what feels right to me. I walk around the house with a shake powered flashlight instead of turning on lights. I don’t throw away trash but find a way to use, reuse, recycle, build, create or otherwise utilize materials that I come in contact with. Instead of focusing on the ridiculousness of the trash system, how decomposing does not take place without air, water, & sun which is the environment of dumps across the nation. Instead of thinking about the millions of tons of trash thrown into land fills every week or all the useful materials that could be re used. I think about what can I do now with this! Because I know that material has a more efficient sustainable purpose than traveling on a truck to fill the land with seas of waste.

~Optimal Perspective~


While being angry, guilty, or vengeful is ok, it is not the most beneficial energetic place of experience for me. Meaning there are many places that I could come from & interact with while driving down the road. Consciously choosing from where I operate in this relationship helps to align with enjoyable manifestation.
I am inspired by some new winter pant designs & feel the salivation of my creation to come. 1 design of felted wool & leather another of inner silk layer, middle wool layer, outer layer strong fabric of earth winter color.

I have some wonderful loafs of bread ready for the baking. Loafs of bread made from starter that I feed multiple times daily, take with me to keep warm & feed, sometimes bring to bed with me at night to keep warm. Then mixed with primo ingredients to let grow, rise & transform into Uber Quality dough for loafs of bread over the course of 24-62 hours. Right about now is almost an opportunity for the baking part!

~Food~


I have been eating, making & sharing food using 5 gallons of soup I got from the left over’s after winter solstice. It was a potato veggie soup that I spiced up with fresh herbs from the garden, garlic & other flavorings. I heated up a huge pot for a bunch of hungry kids one night. Took it to Austin & kept making batches in my crock pot for an all night ecstatic dance event & shared it with other friends during the weekend. Upon returning home I still had about a gallon so I have been doing different things with it as it’s about the only food I have been eating for a few days! I came up with a dish I call VEGGIE soup or soup & salad, its fresh greens from the garden with cold soup, avocados & hot sauce. MMMMM it was good & a nice change up from the variations I have been eating. I so so so love to utilize abundance & free resources. This soup has been a fun one to share.

~Christmas~


Now I am at my parents house for Christmas & there is LOTS of food variations going on so the soup fast is ended in feasting fashion. Yesterday was her birthday & I inspired up a 3 course meal, 1 Fried Garden Green Tomato Salad with fresh baked foccacia onion bread, 2 Garden Curried Sweet Potatoes with coconut milk, cashews, & cranberries, on a bed of steamed kale. 3, sautéed cinnamon apples with raisins, peanut butter, candied ginger on top of ice cream. It was a mighty uber dank feast that was most indeed 6 star. It was a really fun late night with the family playing games, talking & enjoying life’s experience. Plus we had if not the most one of the most amounts of snow we have had here in Texas in the 20+ years we have been here, so beautiful & festive perfect for Christmas and Christmas Eve. The snow has been melting beautifully with the bright sun shining & reflecting as the day goes on. We have a middle eastern feast in the preps for today of hummus, fresh home made pita bread, taboolie, lamb, deep fried cauliflower/broccoli, fried cheese with lemon & rosemary, taziki, falafel & some other bits. I made an Uber Dank chocolate cherry bread for brunch today with fresh whipped cream, just about as good as bread gets.

~Holiday Aftermath~

I love being with my family & the holidays are yet another great reason to be so. A bit much food & gusto but fun as a contrasting occasion. We do not do nor have been doing gifts on Xmas for a while now. I quit prefer that reality. It is nice to be immune to the whole gift/consumer realities that seem to be so fixed in place. I do love to give & receive, it is a splendor of this experience. I love unconditional spontaneous giving & receiving from the now. This is what I like to give & receive. I remember in the olden days when it was like ok we will get eachother $20 gifts or you can spend this much on this person or this person spent this much on me or oh they got me something now I have to get them something, or I know they are going to get me something so I need to get them something, etc etc.

We did do a “white elephant” gift exchange of used items. So basically anything we want. No monetary value just something we don’t want anymore. It’s a fun way to exchange, to play with the gift thing yet be completely free of the aspects I do not enjoy. There is often lots of laughter & smiles from the strange gifts.

~Uber Dank~

We are having the first Uber Dank of the year on the 1st while also being the first Dank session since my adventure at sea. This one is titled “sweet potato heaven” we have a really bountiful sweet potato harvest & lots of dank recipes to do with them! We are also going to launch our “Uber Dank, 8 Days A Week” operation. Meaning we will now be offering Uber Dank food for take home, take out or whatever the purpose may be. We will have a menu that is changing from week to week, rotating old ones out & new ones in. We will have 3 raw dishes available every day of the week & at least 4 vegetarian dishes available all days of the week. People will be able to come by & pick up food to take home, to a party or for the week to come. We will discount dish price after multiples of 5 so if someone wants to get a weeks worth of food a discount would be in effect. The food will be cost effective, high vibe & of course Uber Dank. The menu will be available online & updated weekly. We want to have an uber Dank once a week to kick off the new weeks take out menu though this will not come to be every week as there is much traveling to be done. However the food will be here as we have staff & refrigerators to maintain dankness! The only times it may not be available will be on extended adventures & will be posted as such.

So this coming week the menu will be sweet potato based with lots of variety in dankness to spread around!

I have been doing some writing on the awareness behind the food that is being prepped & making videos/taking pictures of the process. I want to have pics & media available for all the dishes to be offered for the Uber Dank 8 Days a week so that on launch one is able to see them in all their uber glory before stopping in.
I have now written down my mission statement for my cooking/foodprep/foodalchemy classes.

“I am not here to share simple recipes. I am here to share the awareness, ability & art of cooking so that recipes (the preparation of food) BECOME EASY. When this place is realized an awareness, then an ability flowing through AS an art, in the form of cooking, becomes state of being.”

This of course doesn’t just translate into food alchemy being easy but also Uber Dank, which really is the more important factor! ;-)>
WHEWWWWW lots on my table besides the food! If it were not for my awareness that nothing needs to get done or that completion is an illusion I may feel overwhelmed ;-)> I am in appreciation for infinite opportunity & the life force to dance in it.

As I arrived at the house for new year’s celebration I could feel all the energy coming together, the flow building for the over flow into reality. I enjoyed a multitude of splendid experiences from baking & sharing a perfect living yeast activated Rosemary Bread (baked, so not raw) many other delightful foods including some super food chocolates, & raw truffles. Lots of beautiful dancing, some inspired drumming, the full moon through a telescope, fine drink, joyful company, then a long new years day sound session into the daylight hours.

Today on the “firs”t day of the “new year” we had our first Uber Dank! It was a mighty success. The sweet potato heaven was experienced, shared & appreciated. My favorite of the night was probably the sweet potato fries with the chipotle mayo topping or cream pesto topping. All though the sweet potato curry magic is defiantly one of my favorite meals ever & consistently so the fries just hit the spot. The sweet potato lentil soup was so full of flavor, it is a wonderful winter meal, with a lot of sustenance.

Harvesting all the sweet potatoes & greens fresh for tonights dinner is such a blessing. To eat food that fresh & alive is beyond words in gratitude for me. I took a lil video of some of the sweet potato harvest il post on youtube. My youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/silencewithinsound
I love being able to go out in the back & pick the herbs for my meals, the lettuce for my salad & the potatoes for my dinner. What freshness, fulfillment & sustainability I derive with this dance.

One of the most memorable moments for me was when I asked someone if they tried the sweet potato curry magic. They said yes, I said did you have it with the toppings? They said no. I said then you didn’t have it for I designed every level of flavor in that sweet potato curry with these toppings in mind. So I have him a bite with proper layers. The response was AHHHHHHHHHHH
Hehe the many layers of flavor & preparation is such an important process in Uber Dank food. When the ingredients are added, in what quantities & what they are layered with make a huge difference & a subtle spectrum of variation. I often have to try & tweak the dish 3 or more times to get it to proper dankness ;-)>
Sitting by the fire after eating for the first time this day as I have been in food prep & sound channel mode. I love to eat the leftovers. We almost ran our of a few dishes but had just enough of everything. Now I enjoy some fresh garden lavender, lemon verbena tea! This actually may be my favorite dish of the night! Its so full in flavor the tea seams buttery, but there is the really light taste & color so it almost appears as a water magically enhanced with life force……really that’s pretty much what it is! The magic of alchemy ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thankful to have shared fulfillment from each other & food.
In Peace

~EarthShip~

I have been out near Lufkin Texas building an Earthship for days now. I am really glad to be a part of the process. What I love most about it so far is, to experience a “company” who is actually building efficient sustainable homes. They only have 2 crews so they only build about 10 a year but they are working non stop, have a waiting list & have it all down to a pretty fine tuned operation. Most of all the crew can do every aspect of the building process, thus keeping it interesting & providing plenty of skill for any task needed on site. There is lots of into one can find on Earthships on line & also via books. There is a video called Garbage Warrior which features Mike Reynolds the founder of Earthship.

I still feel that there could be some fine tuning to the operation but all in all it’s a very impressive gig they have going with very dependable, usable, efficient, long lasting, energy conserving homes as a result.

I know it was this way for me though I suspect that for many it will be the same way. When I realized how efficient & sustainable homes could be built, there was no way I would buy & or build any other kind of home. This doesn’t mean that it has to be an Earthship but they are a great option for one who can afford it. There are plenty of variations using straw bale cob & other earthen, insulated techniques. One can build a home cheaper, that will last generations & require almost no utilities to live in while also requiring very little maintenance.

99% of all homes in America are built of very unsustainable materials, built to require lots of maintenance, require lots of money to live in & aren’t even unique or that attractive. A cob home for instance is cheap, completely insulated, made of earthen materials, can be made in almost any size & shape with all sorts of unique artistic variations, requires very little maintenance, is really comfortable to live in & easy to build.

I am really happy to share in the realities this group is providing to the world. I wish them all the blessings & success in the world & advise anyone who does not already know about Earthships to look into it as well as other earthen building options such as cob, straw bale, rammed earth etc.
Haven’t been writing at all as I have been putting in long hard hours, its very cold, I am sleeping in the truck & don’t have access to much power.
In enjoyment of these realities.
<3

So for now I am no longer on the job site for the Earthship in Lufkin. Lots of progress was made & my contributions where quality. I have a bunch of pics of the ship so far & feel I may be out there again near the completion of the project.
We would start the day at the site at 7:30 every morning & continue until 4. It was quite cold during the time but I kept really warm mixing lots of plaster pushing lots of heavy wheelbarrows & good physical labor. Earthships are very physically demanding, its nice strong real work.

I am home now appreciating the experience & excited for the possibilities to come. I feel really good about being involved with Earthship & feel lots of inspiration & life force flowing through me by creating with them.

~Epic Moments~

I was sitting outside today in the sun on a bench that I painted myself smoking some sacred green that grew myself, out of a handmade pipe, wearing clothes that I love & acquired for free, with people I love, listening to sound I recorded myself on a surround sound Bose system. FULLY COMPLETE, SATISFIED, INSPIRED, THANKFUL, GRATEFUL, ALIVE!!!!!!

~Progress~

Built my most favorite decomposing toilet ever today. Built of 100% free materials, in a perfect location, protected from the elements & in usable order! UPGRADE
Also built a window insulator frame for the house last night. Lots more to go! I will post some videos of the process as I feel they are a very cheap/free way to upgrade a current non sustainable home into a more sustainable existence. They will be on my youtube site soon not sure when hehehehe
Sitting here by the fire getting ready for some Uber Dank enjoyment, writing, facebooking & appreciating life's experience.

~Alignment~

As I write this it Is 234. I just got done watching sector 9 which I rented on the 9th along with the movie 9. The more present I become the more every detail of my experience seems to synchronize.

~Focus~

I am feeling very empowered by clear focus. To just focus focus focus in the now yet continually coming to a place of focus. It is so hard to get things done, to complete projects when focus is fragmented. When the path of thought, action & being is a streamline flow of focus manifestation & progression are highly accelerated.
I have started a “list” on a huge dry erase board. I am putting up every project that I would enjoy having be a reality & continually doing the projects on the board. Its so perfect now because I have been aware of this focus for light years, have utilized it before yet I have also really enjoyed “not focus”, it’s a beautiful thing to be able to flow in & out of realties contrasting & all. There is no right or wrong better or worse. There is often though preference, desire, want, like & dislike. I am still so aware of the beauty in being able to sit for hours & be fully content in being. To be able to lay in the sun all day & be fulfilled in the pure simplicity of sharing with the sun. I love to grow my own food & be at the house for days & weeks without leaving. However these past few days I have been inspired by the reality of getting projects “done” expanding into new realms or expertise & really “working”. I of course am open to letting go & traveling Asia for a couple months if that so becomes important.

This really highlights for me though how productive one can be, successful one can become, when acting from a place of really wanting to be so. Motivation & desire for such realities are the only important reason to “work”. I have met many who are very hard workers, who are successful & such but it is from a place of commitment not to the passion of now. To me the magic is in getting it done, being productive & really REALLY enjoying working. For if its not so success is really not worth much to me anyways.

Been bring many projects to a close, making progress on some & starting more!
Uber Dank Sweet Potato Dankness was last night. I love how the groups come together & the nights unfold in very unique fashion. Last night was no exception as the people came together very organically & enjoyed each others company a great deal. The food was really fantastic but yet again the sweet potato spiced pie was a favorite. We are starting to get comments now on how Uber Dank food can easily compare to 5 star restaurants & even someone said that the sweet potato lentil soup could be served at a Wolfgang Puck restaurant. I have long felt that the flavor combination's of Uber Dankness are of the highest quality, though it is nice to see that others appreciate the depth as much as I. Its funny to think that a strange guy out of his home is making up one of a kind dishes on a weekly basis that rival the flavors of the most famous of chefs. Wouldn’t it be something if one day this strange dude was on tv with bestselling books & world renowned restaurants??? Hehehe the expansion of the universe knows no limits! Are we ready?!??!?!?!!!

~WoW~

Been a while since I have written. Its interesting to be aware of how the ebbe & flow of life brings in lots & fades out into little of certain areas of life experience. Sometimes writing is a large part of what I do sometimes its as if I don’t care about it at all. What a dance!

I have locked in going to the gem show to sell didgeridoos, cater Uber Dank Food to the hotel & provide sound enhancement at a booth. The Tucson Gem & Mineral is an amazing event. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world coming together for all things rocks, stones, gems, minerals, fossils & more. Some of the best prices & selections for this kind of stuff around. It’s a super vortex of energy bringing much expansion & enhancement of experience. I have been going for years now but this will be the first time I am holding space as a facilitator/vendor. I can already feel the acceleration of energy as I am in movement in preparation for the show. I held space for two didgeridoo magic sessions at my own fire pit vortex where 4 people were part of making their own didgeridoo of their own hands! AHH what an empowering and enjoyable experience. I love how when people make their own they are much more engaged in the process of playing the didj as well. I get emails saying I have been playing all day! I so love to share in that! I also was able to make a few for my self to take with me to Tucson along with some others that have already been completed.

I was waken up this morning by a phone call I had for a radio show interview. I new that it was today but was mistaken on the time. I had just gone to sleep a few hours before but awoke to a rush of energy coming through me. I then basked in the bright morning sun while flowing inspired dialogue for an hour on the show. I am so thankful for the limitlessness of inspiration & how its all here right now with no need for preparation. The Radio Show is on the World Puja Network, my second with them so far, with a different host than the one before. It is available for listening 24/7 on their website.
Off to the final preparations for gem show! Lots in movement.

GEM SHOW VORTEX!

HAAHAHAHa the last words that I wrote was two weeks ago. SO SO SO much energy has been exchanged so much expansion of existence has been experienced.
Energetically I tune into the journey here in Tucson. As I contemplate writing it I realize how many words would be used to share it in this format.

Sharing potent existence is important for me. I love to share yet I feel some experiences are just for the experience of the now at hand. Not all experience is for a story, or a memory.

I am in such deep appreciation for what the sharing of Uber Dank has unfolded upon these days here. SO many relationships cultivated, so many ignited. Many people enjoying Uber Dank food & the benefits that come along with it.
We have brought bliss to people in the form of chocolate bliss, where upon drinking it feel a presence, an energy that seems strange yet delightful, then realizing….ITS THE BLISS
We have brought sustenance with divine rice dishes with fresh veggies & secret sauces ;-)>
We have brought warmth on cold rainy days with chai, hot cider & of course a warm SMILE =D>

We have brought comfort with warm tasty foods fresh & full of love.
We bring raw living foods full of life force in enjoyable combination's. Super foods for potent energy during an intense long event.

We have brought all this food & much more with love & awareness for the process. Using no disposables, small amount of waste, recycling, re using, & conscious preparation. With a daily changing menu, of custom made dishes right to the eater!

Holiday Sustainability Project Material Requests

I am in process of creating some uber sustainable house modifications for the winter time. The project is making window insulators for the purpose of keeping cold air out and warm air in. I will be using all free, recycled materials, creating a few different variations based on what materials I get. I will be making a video of this process to share the possibility.
There are some materials that are of common trash for many that i am requesting be saved for me for this project. If enough are collected I could come pick them up or if you are in my area a drop of would be awesome!
Material requests.
1.Packing Peanuts, I can use as many as you get and save over the holidays. I will be using them for insulation in my project.
2.Plastic bags.
any plastic bag that is not dirty or stinky would be appreciated, grocery bags etc. I can use thousands of these so bring em on!
If anyone feels called to contribute and save these for me it would be appreciated and a fantastic way to put trash to a sustainable abundant use. Anyone who wants to ask friends to do this or direct them to this blog to spread the abundance would also be appreciated. Anyone who wants to start a donations bank for sustainable materials would also be appreciated!
hahahahahahah
Blessings Allways
<3
P.S there are also many other materials that I have great use of that many may not. Any sort of cloth, sheets, cloths, towels etc.
Newspaper. I wouldn't be willing to drive far for this but for a truck load or if im in the area YES!
Carpet. I can use hundreds of square feet of this possibly thousands. Anyone have access or an idea for mass amounts of old free carpet?
Cardboard. I can also use huge amounts of this, wouldn't be willing to drive far for it but if anyone close to me knows where a great spot to get it is I would love to know.
Old Doors especially glass ones. I would so love some more of these.
