Hello from the Now :) (post yours here!)

Hi All … I have been wrapped up in the world, the Doing, but I think of this pod, you folks who joined to tap into some part of Yes in your living. Living seems complicated these days. The war. The food supply. Peak oil. Global warming. Change is on the wind. Big change. But in this moment, just this one right here: where are you?

I’m sitting at my desk in my little apartment in the sky in downtown Troy, NY. I have curlers in my hair. I’m in the middle of getting ready for work at a bureau with the health department with chronic disease control. My kitties squeek for bits of my breakfast and I handfeed them bits of egg. My heart hurts, but I’m okay. My day stretches out before me and I set the intention to stay in my body, to be with my body, even though it aches. It’s good to be alive in this moment. Taking a deep breath and stretching is good :) Being conscious and aware and okay … with it all … Yes.

i am sitting at my desk by the window, in my dorm room in rainy, baltimore, md. I just got back from work, (a job i am SO grateful for, in this moment, for the life lessons, cashflow and ORGANIC LUNCHES :D it has brought me, practically out of the blue) and need a nap. there are voices in the hallway, about to enter, and id rather not feel this anxious oncoming obligation to socialize. im working on love.. love ALL the time… so that it might flow from my spirit without the mental effort it seems to take sometimes. so in this moment i take a breath, swing some more attention at my inner body, and relax.

thank you kate… youre insight meant a lot. i CAN sit here, still OKAY, and believing im more and more and more okay everyday until that loveflow turns on by itself… it truly is good to be alive in this moment. even with the residual pain.. even in the emptiness… because i every time i dont allow myself to reside on those surface emotions, the faster they slip away :D

cheers to YES!!!!!

peace love n all thats good~

To answer your question, hmmmm.

I've given up the search for truth, and am now looking for a good fantasy.

(The answer begins here)

Peace in Yes

A POEM OF YES

we feel you in our eyes
behind our eyes
in our fingers as they move
with grace

in our toes, breasts, stomach

you are here with us

and in love

to you, we say yes, you and I,
are plural, yes

in our intimate hollow, deep
within our spine, Yes

you and I, we, are together
here too, say you are with us,
and we with you, one we, yes,
yes, yes

all of us, yes

“God revealed a sublime truth
to the world when He sang,
‘I am made whole by your life.
Each soul, each soul,
completes Me.’”

–Hafiz

(Yes!)

Poem made in concert with the Great Sufi Poet, Hafiz, by CraniOcean.

I am sitting at my computer,in my home office-
it is early still -but the internet is always alive!
My companion,my friend when I'm lonely -my
vital link with the outside world.
And here I do my activist work,my enviromental work-
I lobby and run my groups and web sites.

Here,I AM a vital link to Society -here I am -
having joined this pod and now waiting to read
messages from other's of you -who are the same as me.
