"The First and Last Freedom"

Image
Is to embrace what is. To free ourselves from all belief, memory, structure, habitual human securities, and to live moment to moment, living Truth as we go. Discovering Truth anew, and yet feeling it continue to flow... and accepting that the desire to remain secure is no longer a threat. We must experience our Truth every day, every moment and know that it will change. The Truth we knew yesterday is not the same truth we know today and will not be the same truth we will come to live tomorrow. Frankl and a trodden camp. McCandless and a blue bus. Kerouac and a traveled road. Thoreau and a cabin. All so present. All so free...of the constructs of the mind. And with this, the Truth remains untold, yet lived, lived and yet waiting to tell where the layers of the mind will start to peel and become anew: FIRE IN THE WATER. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcUvMgFnNOM

It Is Only Through Form That We Realize Emptiness

Through the layering of my thoughts Exists a junction of Solidity: the Overlap. Through the layering of my thoughts Endures a confusion of the Intricate: the Detached. Through the layering of my thoughts, I Am. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb9q_6fqXmg

Return of the FLowEr

Image
Here we are. A different time. Different place. And yet everything feels so familiar....almost as though, in an age quite different than the one we live now, we were once visitors in these same foreign lands.   An age where Romance was held as high affair and yet the simplicity of Love was what defined us all. Where we, as two very separate souls molded of the same materialed Atom, were able to become Alive in neauromuscular Fission and yet Remain as One 'Embedded Nucleus' coexisting in this Circular sea. A Time where the dusted book still shelves and yet renews anew the Mysteries of the Soul for all who dare to Think... Hello Friend, We ARE the Keepers. Yours Always Love P.S. THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER

To Become a "Light"er Traveler

Image
I have always fancied at the notion of being a one-suitcase kind of Journeywoman.  One backpack complete with passport, cash, a few random clothes and underwear, something to read and a small snack and water for sustenance and you are Off to quite an array of destinations- healthy blood sugar levels included.  But of course, that's never how it used to work with me (or most women for that matter).  Boy do I have news for you...as I was classicly cruising down Keahole Drive with a recently purchased pineapple sticking discontortantly out of my backpack as my designed-for-all-island-wear sundress (my one answer to random clothes that work well in warm-weather climates...you can honestly wear them ANYWHERE that requires clothing) was flittering up around my the tops of my knees, I realized, looking down at the Nalgene crammed in the registration compartment of my 'Ped' and feeling the weight of everything (save a scoop of laundry deter...

Ivy Life: Connecting Movement through Growth

Image
An argument for the holistic philosophy of human movement: human life as "more than the sum of its parts" (Twietmeyer).  In contrast to the materialistic and dualistic methods set out by other professionals in physical education to better understand the meaning behind movement, this holistic philosophy argues that "motion is the means by which things remain activity whole".  Expanding this holistic philosophy, movement should perhaps be viewed as and understood as the RELATIONSHIP or connection between the body and soul; the very ivy of fibers that entangle the human consciousness to the physical realm, one in which Life seems to be embodied (no explanation needed...I absolutley love this). From  birth we have learned to grow through movement...through touching and grabbing and crawling and eating we explore the world around us.  "To be human is to to Move!"  To not move is to die...as many primitive cultures realized through both biological and p...
