Unconventional Blessings

Blessings upon Blessings. All is grace, I bless this day. May blessings be part of your nourishment, may they allow you to nourish your spirit, to embrace your life. Food comes in invisible ways, not only tangible, but very much emotional and energetical. Let this blessings be food for your inner self.

I want to love how the river loves.

Today in a cold Monday afternoon, in between a very busy teaching schedule, after not having much rested and very poorly slept. All together, in an energetic pot of a huge full moon, the beautiful song of Wild Eyes from Mariee Sioux in the background while my coffee brings me back to life before I continue with the rest of the day... and to seal the moment, this quote by the gorgeous Hillary Rain. Perfect recipe to weep fire, to remember we can indeed weep fire with our wild loving eyes. I go back to the reminder of holding myself and others in the Highest heart vision. Going back to full presence, passionate remembrance of who I am. I keep reaching towards the fire of living. The wild love, that loves like the river.

Embrace of the Serpent

There are songs we will never listen to. There are stories that we will never truly get to be told properly. There is an Amazon Forest in Colombia, an immense powerful landscape, magical but deeply misunderstood by white westerners. The darkness and the light. This film is a must see. A black-and-white odyssey, which crosscuts between two time periods, slowly but satisfyingly transitions from realism to the fantastical, even the cosmic. From Ciro Guerra, The Serpent´s Embrace, first ever Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

My grandmother, Woman of Wisdom.

Tashababa, was the loving name my boys invented to call my grandmother. She was a real woman. Powerful and full of life. This is a little remembrance about her. Sometimes acknowledging where we come from and feeling deeply grateful for our ancestors or teachers, reminds us of a greater reason, of something much bigger than our own little self.

Offering, giving, remembering is an act of healing. Medicine for our inner-life. The act of gratitude, of highest recognition of magic and beauty.
