Love more wastefully....
I mentioned in class the other day that I loved a phrase that John Shelby Spong used in his book "Jesus for the Non-Religious"...love
wastefully. A lovely person heard that and made me this card. My lovely husband captured this moment.
Here's the quote the phrase came from...
"The call of the God experienced in Christ is simply a call to be all that
each of us is -- a call to offer, through the being of our humanity, the gift of God to all people by building a world in
which everyone can live more fully, love more wastefully and have the courage to be all that they can be. That is how we live
out the presence of God.

Breath currents....
 I've been drawn to doing a lot of side body work in my practice and in class lately. I discovered that this work
really frees up the breath. So much so that when I sit to meditate afterwards I feel very grounded through the base of the
spine but the rest of my body softly sways with the breath. The image that came to mind to describe it was like
seaweed moving with the ocean currents in a kelp forest...the waves of the inner currents moving gently
through the whole body...I get out of the way and let it flow. So very peaceful.
If you get on this web cam between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. pacific time you can see live video of the Monterey Bay Aquarium kelp forest.
