Burning Intentions 2018

It’s time for Burning Man! The past two years, I’ve shared my intentions for the experience because writing intentions and having a witness strengthens their power. This post makes the third. Thank you for being my witness. This year, I’m taking a new project — a meditation and lounge space I’ve been dreaming of for… Read More Burning Intentions 2018

Unmasking the Monuments

We drove in after dark. Large shadows, looming in the night like masked phantoms, lay in wait. Half an hour before first light, wind shook the camper van. Rain urged us to stay under covers with tinny percussions. But we had come with one purpose: to witness dawn unmask the monuments. I put on my… Read More Unmasking the Monuments

Canyon Meditation

We chose not to look at the map and found what we believed was a path. As we walked, the forest seemed to hold us while birds sang its melody. We passed elk tracks preserved in dry mud and saw a tree that had been used as an antler scratching post. I wished I could… Read More Canyon Meditation

Burning Intentions 2017

It’s late and I’m watching the newly-waxing moon set in the west. I’m driving through the mountains, en route to Black Rock City for Burning Man. This will be my third time participating in the art and music festival.  Last year, I set intentions that mainly focused on my interactions with other people. And although… Read More Burning Intentions 2017

Sierra Hot Springs

The edge of a summer storm passed overhead breaking the monotony of blue sky. Patches of clouds cast temporary shade as they moved, releasing a misting drizzle, which fell upon us like a celestial blessing. Birds sang the glory of the day. Stephanie and I relaxed in the large pool. She rested her head against… Read More Sierra Hot Springs

The Broken Pot

The night before I left town, I needed to clean my house. I hate returning to a mess because it doesn’t feel restful, and the last thing I want when I get home is to feel like I have chores to do.  Luckily, my house is fairly-tiny, and doesn’t take long to clean. I started… Read More The Broken Pot

Rock Creek Wisdom

I recently purchased Hank Meal’s, The River, a local’s guide to hiking trails surrounding the Yuba River. On a rainy afternoon, my friend, Kitten, and I got cabin fever; we opened Hank’s book and chose the Rock Creek Nature Trail (located in the Tahoe National Forest) as our tonic. Once the site of a lumber… Read More Rock Creek Wisdom

108 Sun Salutations

I started practicing yoga in my teens, and over the years, I have done my fair share of sun salutations. In my personal practice, I sometimes use a few to warm my body, but I don’t really enjoy them.   So when I heard we were doing 108 sun salutations at the end of my… Read More 108 Sun Salutations

The most glamorous thing you can do is live the life your heart designs; for me, that's a life of writing, travel, and self-actualization.

Full moon rise: I walk up a hill overlooking the valley. Three deer wait for me at the top, talisman marking my soul’s journey, blessings along the path — following my heart, I know where I am going. One deer watches me, she holds my gaze, we see each other. I find a seat amongst the oaks and wait. The sun sets, the sky grows dark, and I wait. At last, in the east, behind the range of mountains, beaming light announces her approach long before she arrives. As she crests the mountain, the jagged silhouette pulses, light shoots across the line, leaves and branches above me glimmer in kind. I watch her directly across the sky as though my seat were chosen by destiny. As she rises, she is with me, pulling me. The hillside, the trees, the deer, my body — bathing in moonlight.
Sometimes my heart seems like the little apple snail shell — transparent and fragile. But isn’t that what makes it beautiful?
In honor of the day of love, I’ll share my current heart expanding practice. Each morning, I meditate on these words of the Dalai Lama: “Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others. I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” . . . . . . . 📸 by my one and only ❤️ @tropo_musica . . . . . . #glamsient #sacredearth #natureheals #keepitwild #writerscommunity #earthlover #mindfulness #zen #bepresent #artist #environmentalist #hiker #writer #ig_naturelovers #girlslovetravel #buddhist #buddhism #meditation #dalailama #heartopener #heartexpansion #heart #valentines #holbox #islaholbox #yucatan #carribean #islandlife #rooftop
