I write today to share some words about goings on in my world and
feelings in my universe and activities (and non-activities) to come.
running, moving, walking ahead, myself pulls on my body lagging
behind, eager i press on, i return to sauntering... sauntering i
return. still moving, i am still. still peaceful i move my stillness.
to you? can my stillness touch you? need my stillness move in order to
touch you? need my words dance for your stillness to be awakened?
If you find a moment of stillness, i would love to feel you move your
mind my way...
The recluse's heart is
a placid lake
unruffled by the winds
of circumstance.
Usually i write these gotjosh messages as a prompting to get attention
in the form of words... this time it is to say, don't bother for a
couple weeks... i am going into a silent retreat, a period of
isolation, building a cacoon, to emerge afresh some weeks later... I
write so that you have no worry, and you have no need for concern...
please trust that i am far better than fine, and that if you reach out
to me, i will likely respond someday after august ends...
You are also welcome to take part in a little thought experiment any
day in the future... If you feel like taking 5 minutes or so to focus
your attention towards my being, and write down the time that you are
doing so, we can see if i percieve your projection...

Hear from the heart wordless mysteries!
Understand what cannot be understood!
In man's stone-dark heart there burns a fire
That burns all veils to their root and foundation.
When the veils are burned away, the heart will understand completely...
Ancient Love will unfold ever-fresh forms
In the heart of the Spirit, in the core of the heart.
-Jelauddin Rumi

oh yeah, and some life story details as well::
i just got back from the no-mind festival at http://angsbacka.se/
wow - what a trip... i volunteered there so i could stay very
affordably and observe the insane amount of luxurious waste that 950
busy minds can create under the pretext of a no-mind festival :-) as i
carted the compostable and other varied waste products to their
respective destinations while serving on the garbage team of
volunteers who called ourselves the garden team until the illusion
lifted and we claimed our true birthright as the garbage team.
The festival was insightful and enjoyable and beautiful and
challenging and frustrating and overall "full-on" !! there are many
stories with lots of nuance and symbolic revelation of patterns and
emotional causality... perhaps i will write some to my blog and
perhaps we can share some in person sometime soonish.
A serious WOW to this website: http://www.universalflag.com/
the presentation there is so magical! if i sat by your side now and
you didn't click that link and then click the presentation link
immediately, i would start to beg... it is worth the long loading time
and is quite short to view, i hope you don't miss it!
so... this time it is real: off to silence i go (as i have been
threatening for almost a month now!)...
in ever deepening love and growing awareness,
