I am constantly in a state of awe because of ALL of you. Your are the most brilliant souls I have ever encountered. My greatest teachers I will ever know. You ALL showed me what I AM…. The love I have for you is strong because you literately picked up this broken machine and got it back on the road. A debt I can only try to repay with stories of one experience. Please know I am ALWAYS here with you in the bread, at the cabin, and in the moment. The DOOR is always open and the porch light will ALWAYS be on for you as we ALL climb to-get-her (WW I actually learned that from George… Can’t really take credit….just made sense to me.) Please bare with me as I attempt to use a language that becomes more and more unfamiliar by the day. Due to my “condition” that is getting “worse” or “better”…… words I know how to spell are unfamiliar. (Even if they don’t have a red line under them. Yes I’m so bad I’m questioning if the spell checker is correct. :) )

This is the story of ONE of my first teachers from long ago named Rodney. He was an incredible teacher that gave me so many gifts but I never realized until I met you….my new Super Friends. Rodney taught me the Vipassna insight meditation technique. There are two techniques I learned at the time. Meditation to the ONE and meditation to the ZERO. Meditation to the ONE comes naturally for some reason. Meditation to the zero took me a long time to accomplish. I still feel I have much to learn. I will probably never stop learning. From the way I understand it… Vipassna is the practice of meditation to the 0. Clearing the mind and “simply” following your breath. The rising and falling of the chest in the moment. (Realized how much my brain was working with out me) When I started and finally found the “place”. The PLACE I LOVE the most… I would sometimes have to fight with my Thots to remain there. It was frustrating because it was pulling me away from where I wanted to be. Mostly just Thots of distraction, negative, positive or whatever came up. As I progressed in my training I realized I was just ready for the next step when I was getting confused or frustrated. I learned when a Thot knocks and you open the door to whatever is there …..invite it in. Try not to shut the door on negative Thot or positive Thot. Reflect, Realize and address the Thot then gently let it go so you can get back to finding your breath. The rising and falling of the chest. It gets easier to do as you practice. I have left you aLL crumbs to Rodney if you would like to learn more about Vipassana he is an amazing soul and a brilliant teacher. (This dig is 6 weeks online all it takes is a high level of SINCERTY and WILL.) I also encourage everyONE to reread our post on the breads. Realize how far WE have ALL come and enjoy the view of where we are today. The ride is the best part of the journey. I look forward to the day we can ALL sing together in concert. In “the power of 8.” A true force of nature. I will be here / at the cabin playing in the trees and building the dream.

If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire this old place would have burned down a long time ago. To BELIEVE in this LIVING is just a hard way to go. (No doubt about it Susan ;)). Hope to see you again tonight in my dreams. You have been a rock while I have been on the rock because you taught me LOVE a long time ago.

Love and Light on Anons! Thank you for sharing the load. Don’t forget to pause.
