Here Comes the Sun
It was a Lunar Eclipse on Monday. And it was the Winter Solstice on a Full Moon on Tuesday. Today, we celebrated the return of the Sun King by dancing out in the alley. Sunshine poured down on Hollywood during a break in the storm. And during the amazing sunset, we were especially lucky to share a double rainbow. And even then, I was told it was a triple rainbow!
Praying Mantis
The Praying Mantis teaches how to still the outer mind and go within ourselves.
Through this, we can draw upon greater power –
physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.
That stillness can be simple contemplation or meditation or even dreaming.
Healers often have Praying Mantis totems — for they use
their inner stillness to focus their healing power.
The greatest lesson this totem teaches is patience.
Learning to wait for the right moment before striking.
Into the Sky
My friend AntVala introduced the music of Nick Rosen to me… and also, to always have my camera ready.
I was listening to Nick Rosen’s cd on my way home. Here I am driving Into the Sky.

Betty braving the whole milk taste test at a BBQ. We are silly. I love it.

“When one shines forth, it is like the moon at midday – an event so bright that what is normally hidden outshines even the brightest light. That is what it is like when masters walk among the people. By their presence, they illuminate and gladden all who come their way.”- “Radiance”, 365 Tao Meditations, Deng Ming Dao
Sing to Me of Angels
The sky’s symphony started like this…
And rumbled into percussion and bells.
Floating into winds and strings…
With a single timpani
Rippling out of the atmosphere
Stillness as day begins it’s descent
The Universe begins with one note.
Today. Was. Magic.
I was working right up to 6:30 today when I looked up and realized the sky and buildings were glowing that warm yummy light I so so love. I took out my D90 and ran down the stairs to capture what I believed would be magical. And it was. Only that my D90′s batteries had completely drained. Sad! No! But Yay! iPhone! : )
This is from inside the lobby at A&I, where I work.
I always love looking up at those windows to see the sky outside.
Always a delight.
I don’t have photos of the light that was flooding under the back door as I was leaving.
Nor do I have photos as I opened the back door and my breath was taken away.
The feeling and visual was like in the Wizard of Oz,
when Dorothy opens the front door
and everything is in color and not black and white.
But I have this photo. And I think it still does the magical moment justice.
My first view of the rainbow.
Walking backwards, the rainbow kept climbing higher.
This part of the sky fascinated me with its ethereal aurora-esque presence.
And the sky started melting into coolness
as we felt the first raindrops on our upturned smiling faces.
It was truly a magical day.
So blessed.
Love!
