One expects love, success, good weather, true friendships, good jobs and so on. If one begins to practice gratitude, one’s every moment will feel like and actually will be a blessing.

News Flash
Today I found out that the National Certification of Acupuncture Commission is sponsoring a program called Acupuncturists Without Borders, specifically created to aid hurricane katrina's affected, both refugees and aid personnel. I got goosebumps as I saw the flyer in my College's Administration Office. Of course, as I am a senior student and not licensed I'm guessing I cannot rush over there and start treating people, but it has been my dream to do something like Doctors Without Borders upon graduation. Who knows, perhaps I can go down there and assist acupuncturists.
Life is, as always, crazy right now, except it's crazy in a more material way. I am looking to rent a house 2 blocks away from my school and I am so excited. I am praying for the perfect roommates, solid, loving, grounded, spiritual people who are meant to share part of my journey. God's Will be done. The great thing is, that we could have club meetings, student government meetings, happy hour (featuring cake!) and group naps right across the street from school! I am so excited. I know, I've said that a few times, but I can't help but be excited at the myriad of experiences life in a dense body provides us.
I truly feel that we are spiritual beings learning to live a physical life. How else could we experience fear and grace? How could we learn compassion, truly, unless we, too, have lived through the discomfort of a physical world? In our true home, the realm of Ultimate Being, there is no fear. No Discomfort. No pain. No Hopelessness. There is only Light. And out of that light shines an everlasting Love that reaches every dimension that ever was and ever will be.
Until we meet again,
May the prescence of God be upon you.

From Orion
August 10, 2005
SERVICE brings you closer to achieving the higher state of consciousness known as ‘I and my Father are One.’ Seek to do as much SERVICE as you are able to do every day.
Seek to agree rather than disagree. Seek to compromise. Seek to understand and seek to love, protect and honour each other.
May each day bring you nearer to the DIVINE within.
OM TAT SAT.

Ocean Playfulness
I'm shifting and shifting day in and day out. I feel like an orange that's just begun to ripen and is releasing a sweet fragrance. I feel enchantingly magnetic and joyous. While I've wondered why I haven't magnetized (found) the person I 'want' to be with, I've only just realized that what I'm magnetizing is perhaps more precious: angels, devas, fairies, dimensions and dolphins. I laugh as I write this and wonder if everyone who reads this believes I'm insane. It matters not, for I laugh, and I live, and I love and I serve.
I've finished reading 'Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah' by Richard Bach, and I highly reccomend it. It is an amazing work, a plainly beautiful story and enchanting messages richly embedded within.
I made friends with the ocean today. We traveled to St. Augustine Beach, and I jumped in as soon as I got there. It was very choppy and hard to stay in. The temperature was perfect, but there was a dark cloud over me. After 20 minutes I decided to chant 9 Gayatri Mantras (Om Bhurvuvah Swaha Tatsa Vitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Diyoyo'Nah Prachodayat) in honor of the water element and its ability to sustain us and endure our neverending ungratefulness and punishment. With each chant, the water got calmer, smoother, the tide rose smoothly and gracefully. The waves began to embrace me and I allowed myself to float, knowing that I would be most lovinly cradled in my Mother's arm. I played with the ocean for an hour, and will never be the same again. Thank you God.
Lokaa Samasthaa Sukhino Bhavantu.

florida living
so I've been travelling for the past month. I've been to Canada (North Hatley) and NYC...I've been to the other side of the veil and beyond...I've been to the Sun, to ask my Mother Goddess to guide my Beloved Grandmother into her Inner Sanctum. I'm back.
Another semester at Dragon Rises has begun, and with it a new phase of living. life is flowering around me, amidst catastrophes full of grief and anger. Correction: life is flowering inside me, amidst catastrophes full of grief and anger (both internal and external).
I vow to be a vessel of hope and forgiveness, and to be that which I AM meant to be. I vow to be happy, joyous and fulfilled, living through the Will of the Divine. I vow that i shall never forget my freedom, nor let those around me forget theirs.
As I Will, so let it Be.
