The Inside Joke

After a full day building camp, several friends formed a group to go out. Of course I wanted to join! I grabbed my necessities (headlamp, toilet paper, goggles, emergency champagne) and hopped on my bike. As we turned onto the esplanade, art installations rose from the dust as far as I could see. I lagged… Read More The Inside Joke

The Cows of Black Rock City

My bike, with twinkling lights strung around its frame and the chain clicking in a dry loop, glides along the dust, creating tracks on tracks, crossing tracks without pattern or reason.  The high desert, in the dark of night, mirrors the midnight sky.   Now, the thin layer of dust on my bike, by week’s… Read More The Cows of Black Rock City

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

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
