July 11 Choir Wednesday Sunrise

You can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. ….Navajo proverb 6:29 AM Cross Creek Sunrise is relative. It doesn’t exist really, only from our unique perspective as we stand does it appear to rise about some horizon that only we can see; e.g., the sunrise right here is different than the sunrise just across the street. And so our day begins when we begin it. And I choose to begin mine with the sunrise that isn’t real really.

July 5 Sunrise-NOT at the Malibu Pier

This one heartbeat of a soul is creating a new life. This one heartbeat of a soul is free. This one heartbeat of a soul is living the life that God intended. …Rev. Safire Rose Spirit woke me up with a jolt at 5:00AM on the dot for the sunrise-NOT. One sole surfer sentry and me. The beach guys did an amazing job. Looked like they swept the place all night. Seems I don’t know how to just relax and release and tune in without judging . How to see the perfection in WHAT IS without leaping off to some story about it. Um wait isn’t this what I’m writing? Oh here’s my dilemma that’s not a dliemna. What on Earth can I pull from this rambling to post up for no one to read – until the words are there that call to THEM. Not for me to know. Them them them. It’s all about them. Hear Woody “80 percent of success is just showing up.”

4th of July Sunrise-Not at Point Dume

6:47AM Starbucks Trancas. Sunrise-not. Can’t detract from the beauty of Point Dume. Low low tide. Flock of pelicans flying low. Well I see I was high up on the bluffs. Took the long way around the soft sand path and met Pat for a 4th of July hug. Forf in July, as my daughter Jess used to say with a march in her step.

Today's Sunrise Blog

6:40AM Trancas Starbucks Sunrise-not. Captured at both the Pier and Point Dume. There was such a….(pen from Rosemary’s time share ran day) long line when I arrived, including Aaron Eckhart two people ahead of me (Edgewater Colorado Casino pen picked up off the floor at Agape. Huge wildfires there. Diane departs from Denver to Scandinavia later…Adventure Girl.) OK if I’m going to do a blog – John interruptus (I wish) (OK today is life in parentheses.) Why would I not do a blog? A perfect venue for these morning pages I’ve kept all to myself since 1997. Only – listen to this – blogging is different! Yeah so shut up and do it. Transcribe this whatever and let it jump over to the blog where it will jump. Let it LEAP. Been looking for this bridge for a long time.

June 28 Sunrise at Point Dume in Malibu

6:29AM Starbucks Trancas Made it right on time for emergence. Bright bright bright. Filled my eyes, filled my soul. Ooo and right now the sun crests this mountain at Trancas. Betting I just saw Pierce Brosnan jog by on PCH, near where I think he lives. Gonna have to pull down the shade in a minute, getting blinded by the light. Best of Sunrise project is complete. OK um, now to get it out – with Spirit's help. e-mail 1-2-3 today, 1-2-3 tomorrow until it flies.

May 23, 2012 Wednesday

I change the world by changing myself. I am changing the world by loving myself, by enjoying life, by making my personal world a dream of heaven. I change myself, and just like magic, other people start to change. …Don Miguel Ruiz Woke up right on time at 4:47. No alarm clock. Magnificent sunrise at Point Dume, again when there was none to be had at the Malibu Pier. Of course the sun doesn’t really rise to us – we rise to IT!

When you have an inspired thought, you have to trust it and you have to act on it. …Jack Canfield
Just looking at weird and wondering if I go “naked” at all. Ok so I’m 64 and keeping myself safe. That’s not likely to change. Read Derek Rydall’s thing about What Are you Really Committed to? And if it doesn’t show up as results you’re probably fooling yourself. So he’ll show us HOW. OK. He’s trying to inspire. He talks like Landmark and Agape. He talks the only thing that stops us is ego like Charles. He talks like I wanna talk but I suspect he’s not so successful either. “Your ego’s stickin’ out,” my ego says to him, Norma and probably anyone who inspired me in the past.

Trust in the vision that gives you the wisdom to live its intention to sing out its name. …Rickie Byars Beckwith
Yes I see the hand of Spirit here. But that’s not what to talk about on a first interview. Stop – what is right is unfolding. I don’t get to know what seed I planted. I see that it could be a negative “can you believe she said her most important accomplishment was she followed her dream?” that gets me noticed. How they talk about me may be just the thing that makes me noticed. All is in Spirit’s hands. But I still want to argue for not saying that next time. But but but if I hadn’t, no noticing. I mean not like I KNOW. No, ego, I don’t. this which is right is unfolding. Can’t explain it, can’t figure it out.

Authentic evolutionary leaders are guided by their inner spiritual practice, lead with their heart, live by their values every day, and maintain a beginner’s mind of teachability, receptivity and humility, ever available to new insights and revelations. …Michael Bernard Beckwith

I am no victim, just a human being with human challenges. And I know
1.the spirit of God is for me and not against me
2.Everything works together for my good and
3.That which is right is unfolding

April 6, 2012 Friday

Everything we do is important in the grand design. We all make mistakes, and plenty of them. Enlightenment does not ask you to be perfect; it simply asks you to be open to a bigger picture that embraces your humanity while rising above it. … Alan Cohen
Maybe I let myself off the hook too easy. Maybe? I let myself off the hook. Well not in my head. There I’m ever failing at things. This Morning Bun is divine – but I really shouldn’t. And I did and it was great. See how "great" gets lost in a shouldn’t. Seems to me I discovered this truth about woulda/coulda/shoulda – especially should early on. But where did THAT hook go? No where. It’s right here.

Faith is really your consent to let your own uniqueness unfold and to let that which is attracted by your uniqueness manifest in your life. … Eric Butterworth
A few years back, Jesus was about to have a nice dinner followed by the most horrific experience that could befall a human being, followed by the most inspiring occurrence that could come out of that and only out of that. Lots of people were crucified back then but only One got the resurrection. And so that One is a part of all of us whether we name it the Christ or whatever – the possibility of resurrection is within us all.
So how do I dare write down my petty issues.
