The first week of work at the new job has come and gone. The storm of expectations and social pressures that surrounded when I returned from Russia was a great thing to watch come and go. I was able to both find a good space and environment to begin teaching Tai Chi and have begun to form deep connections with the right people to work on the film and media projects, people with good hearts and integrity.

Love is the only guide. As it was in the beginning; In the end there is only God and he's a delightfully tricky basterd. He's quite a trip. LOL

The perfect time to freak out and yet the anxiety doesn't come. Concern arises and people are called and visits are made; evasive menauvers engaged ;) but a complete acceptance of whatever arises whether wonderful or terrible remains. All of it is okay.
"Enlightenment" carries alot of baggage and shoulds with it these days. It "should" loo...

Its interesting to see the richness of the experience of things since I have been back. Seeing friends and family and feeling the love there for this person they know as Carlos. Residing in this awareness that embraces both myself as Carlos and everyone and everything that drifts into that perception, with all the events feelings and thoughts that enta...
