We Begin

  As the heat from this day's sunshine dissipates from the squared and cornered confines of our apartment, I am realizing that in one more day my wife and myself will be homeless by design and newly situated under the dome of the Endlessness in which we have our existence...no more walls of old paradigm thinking will be surrounding us physically for the next year...or ???  Can we know?
  I am intending to sharpen my senses during this time by paying attention to what is going on around me and willing myself to be conscious of what I am feeling at every moment.  It will be a challenge in that I have spent so much of my life like everyone else in this world...burdened by the lies and distortions that have come to infect the whole planet and which are glaringly obvious to all.  It will be a relief to unplug from the commercial nightmare (it used to be called the American Dream) and to refocus on the consciousness of the Planet herself.  I feel her calling and I won't resist anymore.  We are longing to dream a different dream and that will be easier for us to do without so much entanglement in the manipulated information flow.
  I hope that any of you who read my blog will feel free to comment and feedback and just say hello or offer your own insights to the conversation.  Politics and religion will be avoided at all costs.  May the next 12 months be prosperous for all.

Our Journey Awaits

In about nine days or so my delight and myself will be embarking on a journey inspired by a different journey which we enjoyed early this summer.  We spent eight nights and nine days in the bosom of Mt. Shasta and drank her waters and bathed in her lakes.  We observed the Great Vault of the starry Immensity from a very unusual but delightful state of clarity which seemed to be contained in the energy of this space...once we were in it we felt it.  The idea of planning a way to visit the numerous sites of both historical and sacred relevance rose up in us and was affirmed in various ways to our subjective perception and to our hearts as just the thing we'd like to do...a passion was born and we are nearing our departure into a more experiential interaction with Mother Earth and our own need to walk away from the boxed in thinking of 3D limitation. There is magic afoot and we are called to the party so we're gonna go...it's "bring your own" if you decide to do the same for it seems that many people are.  We met two women in the campground we were in who had both been on the road, by themselves, both for a respectful long time.  One operated out of her mid size sedan and the other from a small RV. Both had much to do with our spontaneous combustion that inspired and is now carrying us to a one year commitment of migrational camping.  We will start where we are here in Spokane, Wa. and go northwest up toward the Colville National Forest and begin our camping there as we head toward the Mt. Baker area further West.
It is our intent to visit as many natural hot springs as we can find and to allow ourselves to simmer in the healing waters that they offer.  So much of the "technology" of the Ancients has been removed from our awareness and the healing nature of these various attributes of Earth do indeed exude healing magnetics that can bring the human body into a closer resonance with the perfection that is at the core of each of us.  This is our answer to the idea of health care and we have been attuned to this approach to life for some time.  Now we want to make it more of an adventure as we surrender and trust in the absolute well-being in which we live and move and BE.
Over the past eight years or so, my wife and I have been processing our material "possessions" through the filter of our ever changing "belief" structures and noticed that it has taken us eight long years to get it all down to a storage unit 10' by 10', and whatever we can squeeze into a 2002 Avalon, an 18 cu. ft.car top carrier, and a bicycle rack big enough for two bikes.  It has been an experience in compression, in a way.  It feels much lighter if you grok the idea of gravity.  I've moved so much stuff around the country I feel quite ready to dis-invest in the dreams of others who actually advertise their dreams in our common dreamscape and try to sell us something ususally billed as the only or the best option when no other options have been tried.  I can see no other reason why I would have felt so compelled to burden myself with such weight.  The idea of having to pay for anything is, in my mind, bordering on insanity since each of us is, after all, the embodiment of Eternal essence, absent limits.  We live our lives as though we had limits but the truth is we think them up ourselves so I imagine un-thinking them is just as possible.
I feel the doors to new perceptions are opening and I am walking through
