Understanding of a Birth ...

micou — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 17:16:29 GMT

37years ago I came to earth ... with my beloved best friend, best comrade, my twin brother http://people.tribe.net/micou/photos/fabfb2be-54ea-427c-9068-f3971e0b8de0 . And it took me that long to understand... understand that we all come from born from fusion and division, from the very first cell. indeed attraction and repulsion give birth to who we are, the dance of live is union and separation loves pulls use together and apart, that is the whole dynamic of our universe we are because cosmic seeds has been spread apart in each one of us... even deep down to binding of atoms, electrons spins away from eachother yet playfully chasing eachother. The candel spurts photons away when spreading its light and warmth we shine because we learn how to separate, how to love. attraction / repulsion are part of who we are, I don't fear any more separation, I don't feel bad about rejection Repulsion is the spring that will drawn us together. That is what I will celebrate on this January 26th 2006, 37 years after the sacred separation that brings me among all of you guys ! So let's have this beautiful dance of life ! Namaste, with Love +Michel

In God we trust (real life example)

micou — Mon, 05 Dec 2005 20:53:06 GMT

not all of you might not be aware but I was running out of days on my Visa, as I am reaching my 6years limit on Dec 15th! hmmm 10 days to fall in love and get married, this might not be the easiest path... but hey I was openned to it :) I was starting to wonder what was going on with my paper as I never receive anything since last time that I have been told I will be allowed to stay longer... The HR lady, stopped by in my office this morning with a "extension approval" but that was on my name on it !! ohoh they might have messed up the file an other guy in the company is filing for an extension and he has "Michel" as his middlename ... What should I do, start booking a ticket to France, Look for a company who can hired me outside the US. should I take a year of sabatical travelling.. So many option but I was not sure which one was the best but I was still peaceful and confident that there will be something for me so I tursted the Universe, sure I want to stay and I express it... but was not very worried if the possiblities are not offered to me. but still the situation was not clear ... and the back of my mind was running different scenario, as a way of getting ready. This morning there was a paper in the mail ... so the HR lady run back into my office saying who said there is not a God overseen all this ? I certainly didn't say that ! I must conclude is good to let your desires in the hands of God or the Universe... without experting too much our own way, I believe God has always his way, sometime different but so my better we just have to allow him to act, and enjoy the result of his work ! it is official now just got the extension granted, how wonderful Thank you buddy, you rock ! I love the world, I love all of you, you are my dearest souls I want to stay closed too ... I love the Immigration Services ! (maybe not to the same extend for the last one :) !) time to celebrate and dance out the joy in my heart :)

a nice fortune cookie I had today !

micou — Thu, 01 Dec 2005 01:18:55 GMT

It says : This person's love is just and true You may rely on it. ;) I thought that was the case for all my friends... but maybe one is more just and more true ! hmmm I am curious who is that person then ? +Michel

micou — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 14:43:50 GMT

micou — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 18:51:24 GMT

Yuppi ! I was having a big Damocles' sord over my head, as I was running out to my maximum allowed time in this country, (yes almost 6year already!) And my passport indicate Dec 15th 2005 + 10 days = Christmas I just got a verbal notice that I had my labor certificate approved, don't have the paper handy ... but it should be a question of being patient now. but that's probably means that I can extend my stay with people I love here ! That will be my home-land-security department christmas gift. What a happy Monday :), I was willing to share the news with you as soon as I got it ! w/ Love +Michel

Guiding through the passage ...

micou — Fri, 26 Aug 2005 17:06:45 GMT

As I was mentionned before I had some challenges to come here is my next one ! I am packing for some vacations, to France, I am so excited to go, take a break from my hectic life here, go to Paris for a week of dancing with a dear friend, enjoy the Seine river banks at night... And then face the Challenge... Indeed everytime I visit my home country I need to be ready for emergency. And every single time it has been this way. the issue is that my mom has been seriously sick for a while not and her situation is not improving over time, she has a non-recoverable lungs problem and have extreme difficulties to breathe, which put herself in the total incapacity to do any of vital activities we all do everyday so she need assistance 100% of the time. However the situation has had a serious impact on her behaviour and how she reacts to people, with the stress of not getting what is required for living... she has becomed very demanding and developped an impossible character. I spend 3 years ago 3 months of my time trying to settle her down at here home, taking care of her immediate need I even lost my job at that time due to my prolongated absence, wow that was emotionally very painful and draining, my lovely twin did experience similar difficulties trying to help. We had found several person willing to work for her as a living-assistant ... she worn them out one after the other, and isolate herself in impossilbe situation. I ever go reluctant to travel to France, for those reason, but felt that eachtime I travel home, still have to visit her, simply in case that would have been the last time with my mom. Several time my brother and I had to visit her on an last minute emergency to recover her from a stupid situation she put herself in. like 2 days ago ... my mom call me from France : I have only one meal prepare in the fridge, and every aid has left they will not come back, even if I pay them a high price, Can you call Roland (my brother) and tell him that I am abandoned. I new my brother was having his daugther for 2 weeks and that would disrupt his precious time with his dearest Apoline ! but what to do ... he found someone to keep his child and man ... he hit the road... (I love my brother, he is fantastic) What he found, a totally exhausted person undernurished with a desaturated blood I don't know how my mom fight for life but she went down with a PO2 of 30% ... which is behong believable as belong 80% is considered as already serious! Anyway Roland walked her to the Emergency Room ... the put her on artificial breathing, on day later they send her to Aix en Provence where they have a unit for more intensive care on she lost concious has tubes to help with the breathing. (she is the type of women who prefer to die at home rather than being an object for experimentation in the hands of the science so she hates hospital and give hard time to the nurses last time she unconciously but purpusfully put herself in a Coma for more than 5 days as a protest, (amazing what the mind can do !) ) So I bet she is again in a coma for similar reason, but at least she doesn't make the personal go crazy while she is unconcious... What is different this time is that I have the feeling that her time is approaching, last time I talk to her she was asking to have me help her during the "passage", in fact she is a little afraid of the unknow, afraid of suffering during the dying process, afraid of hangin one on the thin sting of life she has on this side... so she asked me to assist her for her last minutes. I am honored to be ask such a task, but I imagine the emotional stress it would be to guide you love one through death and do not "re-plug" the oxygen machine or have any try any other means to maintain life in a skinny body... but I would do it for Love, love for my mom, love for all the souls who only desires is to go, but are scared. She has planned everything she wanted for her burrial ceremony, the people I should invite, the text I should read for the mass, the music her soul want to listen on her way out of this world. Wow I have to get all this before I take the plane to France, I am also a little scared, I know it will be very hard, my brother will be there but I wish I have some one from outside to give me support and strength, a shoulder to cry on and let my emotions burst out before facing my duty as a "guide trough death" As I want to give the best help to Mom such that she can have a blissful death, I don't know how it is possible, I even don't know how I will personally react. But before going to France I will take all the love I can get from all of you guys !!!, fill up my heart, my suitcase, everything, I want to be "loaded" Because I know I will need it... (hope I will not get stopped at the customs carrying all this :) ! ) in the mean time I will burn a Valse on a CD, as her soul want fly away on a 1-2-3 1-2-3 And maybe I will still have the change to have a couple of tango in Paris before head south of France :) Namaste +Michel**

micou — Sun, 14 Aug 2005 04:23:16 GMT

I though oh well I might have left it home ... nop nothing was there iether what does it means ? ... Michel loosing his pants better have a laugh at it : http://sanfrancisco.tribe.net/thread/b3cd502e-54a1-41b2-b38f-6a303a5ba4cb?tribeid=232726c7-863e-4104-ad07-b60f95452a47 w/ Care Michel

Looooooooove yourself.

micou — Mon, 01 Aug 2005 14:38:47 GMT

Treat yourself as your bestfriend. afterall you are the one you cherrish and love the most. Indeed you are the one you can trust and are comfortable with, the one who is always here, the one who always gives you a hands etc... Hmm this week-end I had some visit : I invited myself to my little cozzy appartment in Santa Cruz... Yes I did some housecleaning as if I was expected a precious guest, I fixed my little fountain and turn it on, putting a few drops of essential oil the water so it smell good, now I have all the room with a delicious sent and I can hear the "gargouilli" of the water chanting on the stones. hmmm so relaxing like a little creek covering up the noise of my fridge or computer ! Yes I did water my plants, giving water to plants is offering pure love, crystal clear love and bringing life to them! I did talk to them and they returned the love with abundance, and beautiful flowers. I rearranged my kitchen countertop such that it looks good ... All this for my sole enjoyment :) And I did cook too, nothing extravagant but a simple yummi salsa with some tomato avocado, little carrots for the colors and some ahi tuna fish cook with some seaweed and bellpepper. like I mentioned in an early post : ... giving food is the primordial act of loving ... (http://sanfrancisco.tribe.net/template/pub%2Coc%2CDetail.vm?plugin=blog&inst=1367472&topicId=e1064bc6-734f-4429-9a2d-63789a4c14fe ) when you give food : you Love when you give food to yourself you love yourself ! And who knows how much love we all need :) you can never have too much love. Yes I did setup the table this time, didn't eat standing at the counter... I took a chair and deliciously enjoy a meal prepare with love. I am not the best good cook : I am a "catastrophic experimental pretend-to-be cook" ... but I do yummi thing for myself and people I have at my table ! I do cook because that the only healthy way to eat ... when you do it yourself you know what you eat. And This WAS MY DAY ! Namaste** +Michel

Miracles in Life...

micou — Tue, 05 Jul 2005 13:04:52 GMT

Embrase life as it comes, There was a man so focussing on his "little" plan, dreaming of a "little" house, he was indeed working hard in acheiving his goal... he was even having blue prints of his "little" house. however he was so conditioned by his plan, that he miss the opportunity that the universe was offering him, the universe was preparing a magnificient castle for him... We have to learn how to see beyond our narrow mind, and accept the grandiose, the miracles... because they do happen ! Indeed I missed a couple of them, by stubornness ...

The Art of Giving ...

micou — Wed, 22 Jun 2005 19:09:34 GMT

There are so many opportunity in our daily life to show we care for our friends... don't hesitatem don't be shy ... show us you care, tell your friends you love them... And cooking for them is one way : Preparing food with love to offer is the ultimate art of giving, as it intend is to nurish the body and the soul of other. and when it is made from you own hands hmmm you can put all your love in this preparation, I wanted to go to Red's Solstice party but arrive arround 8-ish at home due to traffic on HWay-17, hmmm what to do ? I was willing to cook something for her and her people... hmmm what can be fast and still delicious, let me improvised a little I have + 2 big nice round esgplants in thier soft shiny purple dress :) (hmmm very feminine shapes !) + 2 juicy tomatos + almonds + garlic + olives oil + fresh basil + green onion + feta cheesse + corriander (grinded seeds : powder)... + 2 crunchy carrots Operation ... (as far as I remember) 1) get a over-dish that can fit all the eggplant sliced, 2) oil the bottom of the dish 3) sliced the eggplant 1/4" thick... and dispose the at the bottom of the dish 4) spread some salt on top of each eggplants 5) cut the tomato in half empty 2 half such that they form like a bowl. 6) grind the rest of tomatos with basil with almond with a teaspoon of olive oil and a clove of garlic, (save some almond and 2 leaves for the final "decoration of the dish") 7) cover the top of each eggplant with this mix 8) put it in the oven at 350 for 35min. 9) in the meantime chop some green onion, and crumble some feta cheese 10) crumble some almonds in coarse pieces, sliced the carrots diagonallysuch that they each slice is ovale ! 11) mix green onion with the cheese and spread it on top of the eggplant at time=35min. 12) sprinkle the corriander on top too 13) put back in the oven to complete the cooking probably 15min more (completion indicator : eggplant need to me tender, a little brownish color and smell good !!!) that's it ... at 9pm I was in my car driving to Red Party with my heart warm as the dish ! Now what about the bananas ... (Red get you favorite translator if you don't get it all ...) this is also a simple recipe and still yummi take the banana make a slit all the way along the banana robe ! (translate: make an opening in the skin, in the longest direction !) you can even partially cut the banana open... open the slit, squize some lemon juice let it penetrate the banana, spread some cinnamon powder on top ... close the banana and wrap it in tin-foil ... put it in the fire (on hot-red coils...) for 5+ minutes ... check periodically to avoid overburning them a squooshy banana is ready-hot to be enjoyed .... ! you can open it and put a piece of chocolate while the banaa is still hot !!! and then experience the sharing of delicious food !!! +Michel

highlight of yesterday !

micou — Tue, 21 Jun 2005 17:49:40 GMT

Such a nice day I spent ... Yesterday I decided to stay home... later than usual as it was the day to treat myself... give me some "love" :) ... indead I have an appointment to the osteopath, and plenty of time ahead before I had to go... hmmm what a delicious morning the sun was already out when I opened my eyes... the smell of the flowers was infiltrated trough the window... hmmm delicious to be waked up by a breeze ... I jump in the shower... and stay there for a while, enjoying the water running down on my body ... what a nice day ... I don't have to rush for work ... let me take care of myself for a time ! Then I step in the kitchen, and this wonderfully soft mango was calling me on the counter with a touch of gold on its skin... casting it warm energy across the room... hmmmm that will be my breakfast... I pealled it gently, enjoying the perfume of the delicate fruit, close my eyes and felt all the rays of the sun who contributed to this mango ripe, all the love energy stored in it... :) I too some cream our of the fridge,... and put both the naked fruit and the weap cream in the blender... and add a spoon of turbino sugar, you know the one that makes beautiful cristals... capturing light in its center... the marriage of those three esquisite ingredients brought me so much joy in my mouth and hmmm in my all body :) that I really wanted to lick the pot ! then I read a couple of page of my new book about love. before getting ready to show up at my osteopath. I was in such a blissful happyness state that the all appointment was a charm .... all my bones and tissues were treated with so much love .. that it was the best treatement I ever had ! and the reason was simple, I allowed myself to love me this day... and therefore all the universe was harmoniously responding to me. amplifying the love I was giving to myself and returning it 100 times Remember simple things make big changes in your life ! The same evening ... the moon almost full was shining in front of me on my road ... and filled my heart with its soft light, wispering : "Thank You", Oooopsy I missed the highway exit under this moon charm :) Happy Solstice to you all +Michel

feeling connected ...

micou — Sun, 19 Jun 2005 18:22:27 GMT

the other night there were some dark grey stormy clouds and an amazing light from a setting sun... three birds cross the sky, and they were casting back a beautiful golden light. Wow God is Grand ... so much beauty in the flock of three birds, three bird to remind us that we are all connected this filled my heart with joy ! just willing to share it with you all with care +Michel

while looking for "future of love", I touched your heart ...

micou — Sun, 19 Jun 2005 03:40:17 GMT

Yesterday, in the bookstore at the "spiritual" section, I meet this woman, who ask me what was my life goal ... I answered, that I want to create a school : "the school of the new inventors", a school where I will not teach physics but a new program something that has never been taught in our western society, a class in "imagination" in "creation" this will help people to create solutions for this world, not by fighting the establishment, but my bringing people together to thing outside the box ... my coaching inventors to transform our ecosystem, replace our laws with a value system based on love, beauty and hope. I left you with tears in you eyes... tell me your goal ... and if it resonates in me we will partner ! namaste** +Michel -- http://www.daphnekingma.com/
