Apple I hear you loud and clear! I haven't been able to blog about this experience yet... it was so deep and moving. I too am lonely for our closeness and know that we are never alone if we chose to maintain what it was we started!

We sang, Let There Be Peace On Earth, the last precious moments in the Glass house and I wish you could have heard it... the accoustics in that house were perfect like singing in the shower and we hid a shell on the highest window ledge we could find so our spirits are still there! Who knew we could create such a wonderful pocket of time to be remembered so fondly?

Maybe I should go now and write that blog! Thank you Apple for being the person who opened the locked doors hiding my creative self...

Smiles!

Gaia Friends,
I took my academic head out of the books and buried it in the sand with laughter I had forgotten. I played and let others play with me. I shared my joys and my toys! I found my "child within" without conditions. I had a food fight from my wheelchair with whip cream everywhere and no chastising voices?? WOW I aqa!!!! I drummed to the pulse and rhythm of my body. I communicated and found friends in a dimension I have wanted for.....so,,, so long. It was beautiful on the shore and in the Glass House as I watched the sun dance into the ocean. I was home, warm, and comfortable because I chose to be loved.
I am lonely for the friendship I experienced on the Oregon coast but I am never ALONE again. I believe the people I spent a weekend with knew me and my unconditional expression of LOVE. What fear we started with diminished within hours and we became a family of ancient souls greeting each other again. "The poet Hafiz writes,
Don't surrender your loneliness
So quickly
Let it cut more deep
Let it ferment and season you
As few human
Or even divine ingredients can
(From Jack Kornfield's Wise heart, page 131)
Thank you Martha for your LOVE!. Thank you Keith, Allie, and Chloe, I am grateful to all of you from the Glass House. Evening & Morning Stars, Amber, Judy, Peridot, Sprite, Doug, Dryad, MamaKat, and all the fairies that visited.
I communicated with Lisa's pulse and found others. We danced, drummed, laughed, cried, and so much more. Let's do it again, soon.
Hold me in light on August 22 at 6am as I enter trust of the surgeon's hands on my spine. See me healing and walking down the beach.

Hey Everyone: So glad to hear you are all coming to Oregon..... I will be in Yachats Saturday Aug 2- Sun Aug 3. I will have a booth at the Yachats Commons in lovely Yachats Oregon. Here is an idea....... If you have time to come there....... it is a quick and scenic drive north of Florence. The event is called Pathways to Transformation and it is a psychic, health, craft Faire..........for more info go to chucklingcherub.org(only $3.00 admission for the day)
This will be my first time at this faire...... but I hear large numbers of people line up for blocks just for the pie.
Yachats is a gorgeous little villiage and boasts old growth forests and wonderful beaches and Cape Perpetua (where one can see 150 miles in both directions on a clear day)
anyway i would love to stop in and meet all of you on Saturday night in Florence.......do you still have space for another sleeping body? I have a tent I could put in a yard if nessessary and I could chip in for expenses.............If not thats o.k. I could just stop in to visit ?
Just a heads up for those coming from out of town............Oregons coast is windy this time of year and refreshingly chilly............If it is 80-90 inland it is 55-65 at the coast with a strong breeze.........Come prepared clotheswise for that...... I think you will all have a blast. Blessings to you all and good journey. Katherine eveningstar

Hi all!

Wow the time is moving along here and thought I'd better get a move on. I have the rental agreements for both Glasshouse and Peggie's place and the list is updated. I have paid the deposit on both places but will need to pony up with the balance before July 17th. Glasshouse I have rented for four days 8/1 - 8/5 and Peggie's 3 days 8/1-8/4.

I'll need everyone's email address if I don't have yours already so that I can send you copies of the rental aggreement and a soft copy of the spreadsheet I used to figure out each person's contribution to the rental costs and of course my address so you can send the check for your part.

I would appreciate it if someone would look over my work to make sure I haven't screwed something up.

Well here is the latest.

Yep, Danita (the AppleLove lady) is MY She-ro, more heroic than I am by a longshot. She's the real deal and the world's coolest lady. It is my dearest hope that she can join us in Oregon. If you meet her you will fall in love and never forget her!

You can play around with this pencil for a while and come up with more creative thoughts and ideas. I did some jobs for these guys and like their website for being so interactive and funky. Before I forget, this site helps make free paper toys.

Oh yeah ... this was one of my ideas ... that someone would start a painting/mixed media and that we'd all contribute ... and it would become OUR COLLECTIVE ARTISTIC SPIRIT and ENERGY!!!

I'll bring some paper for this and I'll also bring some water colors, craypas (oil pastels), crayons, pastels, charcoal ... and we are gonna ROCK OUT!!!

This would be wonderful with some fabulous music playing in the background!

A collective mural, what a COOOOOL idea.

Hi! Just rolled through and finally read this thread. I've been having visions of watercolors, like we're all doing watercolor together on big, big papers, like butcher paper or a paper tablecloth or something like that. Could we do something like that? A big collective mural?

Great minds think alike ... Aley, I would love to do a labyrinth on the beach!

Yes, yes, yes to bonfire on the beach ... not just one night - but every night the weather permits!!!
