Does going bald mean having less hair or better reception for spiritual inspiration?
Just wondering, as I just thought it has been a while since I used a comb.

grow baby
Despite the endless amounts of horseshit applied to your soul, be you 100%.
Hey, fertilizer makes things grow.

Be brave
Be brave enough to care, be brave enough to be strong, be brave enough to be the outcast and believe that this world can indeed change.
Inhale a wonderful aroma today, gaze upon a beautiful photo ( or view), listen to the sounds of the world, touch nature, awaken your tastebuds and enjoy a treat.
Start this week awake, alive and aware.....be brave enough.

Communication
Today is going to be a story lesson.
I had a lovely furry family member for 26 years. When she came into my life, I was a bit ..how can I say..less balanced? She fit in the palm of my hand as a kitten and upon the ride home from the Vet where she was born, she climbed out from inside my coat and sat on my head ( I long had hair that time).
Needless to say, I fell deeply in love with that cat. Her name was Bodhisattva and she taught me much about life. I know everyone has cat stories and I know we all love our cats...I humbly share my love story.
As I further developed my spiritual practices and went deep into them, she came right along with me..if I wanted to drink a special blessed water , she would run into my office, jump up on me and shove her head in my glass to get the first sip. On days when I felt challenged, she would wake up, come over to me, jump up on my lap, place her paw on my face very softly and then jump back down and go back to bed.
At the end of her life, she was very old, nearly blind and had many internal issues. I was sitting in my office one day becoming very sad because I knew our time together was coming to an end and I heard staggering footsteps coming in to my office...She walked next to me and sat near my feet ( she couldnt jump any longer). When I went to pick her up, she walked away, but waited for me....so I followed her.
She walked me over to a wall and sat with her face facing it ( like Monks in Zazen) and waited for me to sit with her ( I am not making this up). We then faced the wall and meditated together. -She wanted me to sit, so I sat.
A day or 2 later, she was gone from my life.
Now, I am "that" guy that people saw in Boston for "miracles" for 17 years, yup I am that guy with special "abilities"....and at the end of her life, she gave me one last lesson, what a perfect name for her...Bodhisattva.
Why am I telling this melodramatic cat story?
Because I want people to know, there is more to life than going from periods of sorrow to the next sorrow, there is more than falsehoods of pretending to know about life on the outside while dying slowly on the inside, there is more to life than sitting on ones spiritual ass till it is numb....
Dont just look at surface items, always be willing to look deeper at life and yourself..be willing to spread messages of hope, love, faith in new ways...even though it may not be the norm.That is why I place jokes with my cartoon lessons at times, to get the point across from a new energy source...humor.
But today I am telling a story/teaching through "cat love" energy....and it has nothing to do with the internet interwebs obsession with cats.

Tell me why I dont like Mundane
Don't have another mundane day.
Advance today by doing 2 things:
1 good deed for a stranger and 1 good thing for yourself.
Do whatever deed of your choosing, me? I always go for the make a stranger laugh thing, but I have a gift for being a clown in public, so it is easy for me ( and hard for my wife as I am a clown most of the time).
If you cant make people laugh. hold open a door or something like that. Remember though to do something for yourself as well, far too often we forget ourselves...

ebb, meet flow
It has been a bit since I wrote on this blog...why?
Well, like you I am constantly evolving and delving into new levels of the mind. I spent the last 4 weeks in a deep period of self study of my own patterns and behaviors, looking at my own current spiritual practices and those I practiced 15 years ago.
Hey, everybody needs a little time away...and I am now back and supercharged.
Situations arise in a persons life to teach them about energy, to show them who they are and what they can endure. I have my philosophy and my approach towards creating peace and try to live a life dedicated to doing the biggest things and then the smallest things ( like holding open a door).
I do know that a person has the ability to change and also has the ability to stay the same. Both energies create opposing realities and a person has to fully comprehend that in order to spiritually advance in ones own lifetime.
So....ebb, meet flow, flow meet , ebb.....you both form a great team.
