Separation Anxiety

EXERCISE Bike to and from Marine Park Kirtan

The people and singing at Marine Park Kirtan were wonderful, once again. I brought an altar space, with Hanuman and Ganesha on a little hippy cloth.

One of our friends was sad, yet she stayed and played to the Gods and Goddesses...such a powerful soul.

And when I got home, actually, even on the bike home, I started falling down the well a bit.

Reminded me of when I was with some friends in the car and I realized how I always wanted to be dropped off last, to be the last part of the multi-person creation we had been.

So I missed the beautiful kirtan vibe, and then, I had some cravings, because you know...feed those feelings...so I ordered pick up from Harvey's

Then two different sets of friends reached out to me in text, so I felt a little more loved. Thanks, sweet beings out there, who really do care.

MEAL 2000 (at least...LOL) Pastrami burger Chili cheese fries Strawberry Pizzaz

Yeah, I probably should have ordered after I checked my messages...might have been a salad in there.

Feeling the Swirling Inside

"Whatever he does, if he does it for the sake of finding his own real self, will surely bring him to himself." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

10:20am AWAKEN

I woke up earlier, and have been meditating in bed.

This is the watching, the feeling of the swirling inside. Such an amazing symphony of memory and reaction, sensation throughout.

I turned to "I AM THAT", which sits on the bedside stand, and found this quote.

I am looking forward to Marine Park Kirtan today at 3pm, and sharing the little gifts to the Gods.

It has gotten colder, and the gas springs on the arms that keep the iMac elevated have drooped down to the desk. It's funny how frustrating I find this, in that I think about fixing it, yet do not want to open the closet, pull down the box, grab the hex key, tighten the screw, and return the hex key and box to the closet...

And there! It's done! (Of course, to tighten the gas spring, you go CCW, or what is typically loosening - HA!)

I always get a bit lonely when I leave the kirtan group, and the gurus were kind.
