"On Being Human"
A memoir
Of waking up
Living Real and LISTENING HARD


I have read...
something like this... maybe you have too?

YOU ALREADY HAVE
EVERYTHING YOU NEED
TO BE HAPPY......
"uh huh, true, noted, I know"
my mind goes
....but did I really know?

sometimes and some days
social media seems to be saturated with quotes, memes, moods, advice and ALL the
"do's and don'ts" < I'm sad .. > but it's OKAY
sometimes and some days, unaware of
this information... overload...
this instant ... gratification ...
this instant ... dopamine ...
this ... disconnection ...

quick scan // skim over
this // that
LIKE // SHARE
scrolly... scroll...scroll...
"uh huh, true, noted, I know"
my mind goes...

to be clear here ///// just saying
when depressed ///// have done this often
when balanced ///// have screen suction
AND ---
(no judging)
(no self-loathing)
[[ disassocitating ]] ...it's a thing....

kindly truly asking
attentively
prayerfully
kindly truly asking

DEEP LISTENING
---- the encouraging...
there it is...
---- the knowing...
there it is...
coming in...
coming from...
that place
that heart-space

I want to engage
I want to change
I want to create
::: be brave :::

for healing
for believing

this.......
a seed
a quest
just imagining
just co-creating

this LITTLE LOTUS .... the patreon
.... the page, the memes
.... the muse
::: is not me :::
::: is everybody :::

I have read,

YOU ALREADY HAVE
EVERYTHING YOU NEED
TO BE HAPPY......
"uh huh, true, noted, I know"
my mind often goes, as I scroll & scroll

....but did I really know?
*WHOA*
*THIS*
*HMM*
it is affirmed,
quest afoot...
understood..
gifts given...
change in perspective...
REALLY
REALLY
::: really really grateful
what took place last night :::
when timing synchronistic
call it magic
call it poetic
OK OK ... getting a little manic
ALL GROOVY ... let's not panic

We are remembering
We are interacting

Prayer Changes Things
(Noun) + (verb) + (Noun) ......... [action word] affirms, agrees
the prayer is noun, name
the verb is our action word
agreeing, affirming -- this change --
with thing(s)
also ...... "thing, act, deed, event, material object, body, being, creature, matter"
& SO BE IT
Prayer Changes Things

🌿💜 Lavender & Lemon Balm popsicles? Yes, please!

If you don’t have fresh lavender, dried will do just fine. Don’t have any fresh lemon balm? You can use lemon juice.

REPOST Dan Buettner

I met 102-yr-old Nicolo Quagliana while searching for new blue zones in Sicily.

Of the 300+ centenarians I’ve interviewed, Nicolo looked the youngest and radiated a gentle intelligence. He spent his life as a farmer and shepherd, raising his four children. His wife died 20 years ago.

Here are the 9 pearls of wisdom I learned from him:

1) Is pasta good for you: “I eat spaghetti with garlic and olive almost every day.”
2) Meat: “I could never afford eating it and when I could at age 80, I couldn’t digest it.”
3) Fish: “We never ate it in our village and the first time I tried it at age 25, I didn’t like it.”
4) Everyday Foods: “Toasted fava beans, bread, figs, and wild greens.”
5) Favorite Food: “I want my last meal to be green beans.”
6) Wine: “I drink one glass of red wine every day with lunch.”
7) Secret to Longevity: “Go to church weekly and have faith in God.”
8) Living Arrangements: “I lived by myself until age 98, now I live with my 4 children, moving from house to house.”
9) Biggest Regret: “Nothing. I’d do it all over exactly the same way.”
