A 500 mile walk from St Jean Pied de Port, France in the French Pyrenees, across Northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela, the destination for Pilgrims on all routes of El Camino. Then if you are an ocean person like myself, to walk another 50 miles to The Atlantic Ocean at Finisterre, Spain. This Journey is also known as The Way...

Being 'single' on Valentines Day. Most people would say us 'unlucky' folks who are not partnered, just want someone to love us. I disagree, I yearn for someone to give my love to... I yearn to love well and and love deep...
Shifting morning flow to prepare for The Camino. (Warning, a discussion of bodily functions may be TMI for some ;)
My morning routine has been fairly consistent for a long time. Even before my friend and brilliant author/teacher davidji coined the acronym ‘RPM’, I have done so. What is RPM? Rise, pee, meditate. In other words get up, attend what needs attention and sit for meditation before beginning to engage in the day. (I have practiced mantra meditation for over 20 years, it is the Heart of my Spiritual practice).
Sweet Darkness When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone... No part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure... You are not beyond love. The dark will be your womb tonight. The night will give you a horizon further than you can see. You must learn one thing... The world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn... Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive... Is too small for you.

Suspension bridge... Receiving and Releasing.
Sitting in the quiet evening of my Portland hOMe... Being with the first fire of the season in the fireplace. I love tending fire... It is a cold icy day here and the deep warmth of wood burning feels so luscious...
 The rhythm of my day has become so comfortable here. So familiar. I feel very at home in Nepal...
(Update after the earthquake, this lovely place The Ambassador Garden Home Hotel is still in operation. Located in the heart of Thamel, I highly recommend it!) |
