So could we say that chocolate chip cookies would be your standard everyday (or everyother day) kind of cookie? Pretty basic and good to have when all you need is a cookie?

But then, there is the white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie. Yes, it is the cookie we want when no other cookie will suffice. It is the cookie we only get on occasion, the cookie we must yearn for, the cookie that makes us do stupid stuff to get it.

Thats the cookie that can make us keep wanting cookies.

mmmm.......

=)
I won't call it uncommon that I have often myself in the state of feeling like a meatball.
I have a little Down's Syndrome brother (photo posted on profile thingy). I would practice teaching him variou things to say. One of which was.. "Ma ma, ma ma, ma ma, Meeeeatballllll !" Im not sure why I chose that as something of value.

I now know it's because Im destined to become founder of the Silly Church.., more on that later.

Anyways..,
All he could manage was "ma ma, ma ma, ma ma."
Maybe minus a ma ma.

I went off to Alaska & was gone a long while. It had been a while since I had seen him & many years since we'd practiced our silly grammar.
However..,
Upon seeing me.. for the first time in a long while.., he uncontrollably blurted out....

"Meatball ! "

I cried.
This is a true story.
I consider my brother a medicine man. This has taken me a long time to realize & maybe a longer time to explain.., but actually it's simple.., and Im sure many people may even understand. Not that I want to hold some unaccesssable information.. as if Im special, whatnot. =)

As usual.., I got off the point.., or.. atleast the point took too long to make. What's too long.., if we make the time.. however.., who has the time..

K.. shoot.., back to the point..
Which is..

I didnt exactly realize how Pods work.., cause Im new to Zaadz.. and even advanced computer technology.

Sorry I havent written here.., perhaps some are happy about that.. and..
If there is a place for erratic subject unfoldment.., I think this tribe is the one. I dont know if I addressed the original subject at hand.., for that Im sorry.

Lemme say.. today Im saying yes.., by going to this little art class.. I did a little yoga.. I listened on the TV to somethin about Overcoming Death (Jesus)- I watched Down the Rabbit Hole last nite.., which.., well.., =).. For some I would recommend repeated episodes of old Charlie's Angels instead. Just gimme more time.. before I go sailing down that hole =).
I hope it's OK if I add this entry to my blog.?

K.. Im gonna sign off.. this writing tagent is getting seriously long.. and Im supposed to be starting a silly church.

Bye..,

Hi All â€¦ I have been wrapped up in the world, the Doing, but I think of this pod, you folks who joined to tap into some part of Yes in your living. Living seems complicated these days. The war. The food supply. Peak oil. Global warming. Change is on the wind. Big change. But in this moment, just this one right here: where are you? Iâ€™m sitting at my desk in my little apartment in the sky in downtown Troy, NY. I have curlers in my hair. Iâ€™m in the middle of getting ready for work at a bureau with the health department with chronic disease control. My kitties squeek for bits of my breakfast and I handfeed them bits of egg. My heart hurts, but Iâ€™m okay. My day stretches out before me and I set the intention to stay in my body, to be with my body, even though it aches. Itâ€™s good to be alive in this moment. Taking a deep breath and stretching is good :) Being conscious and aware and okay â€¦ with it all â€¦ Yes.

i am sitting at my desk by the window, in my dorm room in rainy, baltimore, md. I just got back from work, (a job i am SO grateful for, in this moment, for the life lessons, cashflow and ORGANIC LUNCHES :D it has brought me, practically out of the blue) and need a nap. there are voices in the hallway, about to enter, and id rather not feel this anxious oncoming obligation to socialize. im working on love.. love ALL the time... so that it might flow from my spirit without the mental effort it seems to take sometimes. so in this moment i take a breath, swing some more attention at my inner body, and relax. thank you kate... youre insight meant a lot. i CAN sit here, still OKAY, and believing im more and more and more okay everyday until that loveflow turns on by itself... it truly is good to be alive in this moment. even with the residual pain.. even in the emptiness... because i every time i dont allow myself to reside on those surface emotions, the faster they slip away :D cheers to YES!!!!! peace love n all thats good~ steph

To answer your question, hmmmm.

I've given up the search for truth, and am now looking for a good fantasy.

Peace in Yes

Re: The Heart as a Cipher, and a Map

Sat, 07 Apr 2007 16:27:59 -0000

Quoted from a Good Friday Homily from The Vatican

"Our civilization, dominated by technology, has need of a heart-
if man is to be able to survive without dehumanizing everything.

We must give more space to the reasons of the heart..., if we wish to avoid,
while physically overheating our planet..,
falling back into a spiritual ice age.

The technical has been well heard.
We have many things which fasciliatate the development,
and measurement of the capicities for intellegence.

But no similar effective scientific developments,
or measurements for the capacity to love.

This seems to count for nothing.

Whilst we know that happiness or unhappiness
does not depend on
understanding,
or not understanding.

As much as
to love or not to love.
To be loved or not to be loved.

The motive of all this is simple.
We are made in the image of God,
& God is love.

It's not difficult to understand why we are so anxious to grow in our understanding,
and so little concern to grow in our capicity to love.

Understanding translates itself automatically
into
enabling.

Love..
into
service.

One of the modern idolitries
is the idolitry of the IQ.

Of the
'Intellegence Quotient."

There are numerous methods put in place for measuring this.

But
who is concerned with measuring the quotient of the heart?

Yet,
it is only Love that redeems & saves.

While science & understanding ALONE
are able to carry us to damnation.

All the books in the world
do not deserve
a caress.

First, above all.., St Paul wrote:
"Knowledge Inflates. Love Builds Up. "

Finally
an opening for humanity..

The Era..
of the Heart. "

Hi..

A POEM OF YES

we feel you in our eyes
behind our eyes
in our fingers as they move
with grace

in our toes, breasts, stomach

you are here with us

and in love

to you, we say yes, you and I,
are plural, yes

in our intimate hollow, deep
within our spine, Yes

you and I, we, are together
here too, say you are with us,
and we with you, one we, yes,
yes, yes

all of us, yes

“God revealed a sublime truth
to the world when He sang,
‘I am made whole by your life.
Each soul, each soul,
completes Me.’”

I am sitting at my computer,in my home office-
it is early still -but the internet is always alive!
My companion,my friend when I'm lonely -my
vital link with the outside world.
And here I do my activist work,my enviromental work-
I lobby and run my groups and web sites.

Here,I AM a vital link to Society -here I am -
having joined this pod and now waiting to read
messages from other's of you -who are the same as me.

Hi Kate. After heartbreak, I used to contract until the first tremors of awakening, often years later. Now, i try to go deep into the wound, honest and true, until it is done with me. Repressed emotions are unactualized spiritual lessons. If I don't feel it, I can't learn the lesson waiting on the other side.

I have a chapter about a profound soul connection I experienced- an uncommon bond- in a book just published called soulshaping (.com). It is about my warrior souls efforts to surrender. I think it might resonate for you. I might post some free excerpts on Zaadz when I learn how to work with the system.

How are you doing? Hows your heart?

Re: The Heart as a Cipher, and a Map

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 00:35:09 -0000

Hi, Kate. So sorry to hear of your loss. I've had a recent loss, too. Though not romantic, it cut me to the quick. I've dealt with it a number of ways. I've made space for my constantly changing emotions and given myself leeway to experience them as they arise. I went on a trip to reset and take time away from my regular life to grieve. I fasted. On New Year's Eve, I did a ritual burning of the tangible things associated with the experience. But, time, patience, lots of love from friends and family, and strengthening my yoga and meditation practices were what helped me the most.

As far as the shape of my heart, I find it to be more resiliant than I thought. So, while not knowing the exact topography of it, I do know that it is not in tatters or bruised to the point of liquefication.

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
