The definition of beauty has changed and as i have matured it has many more dimensions, colours, and textures. i see beauty in places i was unable to see when younger.

First kiss, had not thought of it for eons. Such innoence at 11 i was not evening thinking of kissing and was not expecting it. Ted T invited me to a band dance in the mid 60’s. (This was the Beatles era expressed small town U.S.A.) He was the lead vocalist, and in the middle of a song he left the band and walked over and gave me a big kiss. I was so embarassed!

I LOVE COKIE ROBERTS!

It would be an arranged marriage from Hell. I would fear that Hillary would be carrying around the Bill and Hilary vial of 1992 to 2000 to splash in Obama’s face anytime she did not get her way. I would love for Obama to pick Kathleen Sebelius the Gov. of Kansas. She has shown she can reach across party liness time and time again. She could most likely pick up Hillary voters. I have watched her for her last two terms and unlike Hillary that gets down and mud wrestles, Sebelius is “one classy woman” that demands the Republican House and Senate rise in respect. Women could truly see the reflection of the best of WOMAN from Sebelius.

Yes! So agree and came to the same insights. Started out strong for Hilary and the more i saw the more i was repelled. For me, Hilary is the picture of the Father’s daughter and cannot see that it will lead us anywhere different than we have already known, too long. This is why i switched to Barack Obama. What Hilary exhibits often is the splitting of the opposites with every opponent. Whereas i see Obama as one that has capacity to balance the tension of external opposites because he has done that within himself first. Thus he can be a container that holds the tension of the opposties, energetically he is more like the “Great Mother” that has a lap for it all. I am so over the fighting and splitting. Too much!

Tao Te Ching by LaoTsu because i find it the most feminine of sacred texts All of the poetry books by Joy Harjo. Within her poetry where ancient keys that unlocked my soul. Ammachi, A Biography of Mata Amritanandamayi by Swami Amritaswarupanada I had seen her face in my mind’s eye for many years, but did not know who she was until i saw her picture on the book. I read her book and could follow an energetic imprint that was similar to the women in our world as we have and continue to emerge from patriarchal dominance. I was set free at deep levels and claimed back the feminine expression of God which is so needed in our world today.

Oh mercy, this is a hard one. I live a distance from my Mother and last year called to wish her happy day on her birthday. As i tried to speak with her, she responsed, ” i do not know you, you need to call one of my children”. There are some sentences that do not have words among the consonants and vowels. Have spent time with my Mother since that call, and have found a quite gentle joy in just joining in the moment, such as it is. Blessings to all
