Lucidesse - Inspiring Strokes of Genius

The loss of my friend has been profound. As well as enlightening.  I’ve realized that I need a safety net. People who can help me if/when I can’t help myself.  So I’m setting it up. Asking for life. Saving my life. Should I need to.  Don’t know when I’ll die, but I don’t want to take away what has been given to me.

We meet our first human! And what do they say? Are they coming? Find out in chapter 13 of this epic book! It’s only just beginning! 

I finished my 1,000 piece puzzle! YAY!  And these are the last few pieces falling into place, including the LOST piece. BUT, where did I find it!

This is a live puzzling of an octopus puzzle, while musing about the puzzling nature of life, and the ways I puzzle together a Life, not just a New Life, but one which incorporates and integrates parts of me I've lost along the way, or never dared to reveal, or didn't believe possible, or forgot how much I loved, and cared. 

We have finally arrived at Delphi, where Sorrow receives a vision. She solves the mystery of why the humans are dying, but leaves unclear about her actual question, and other parts of the vision. 

Another bit from somewhere beyond the milky spiral. Wisdom that is well meaning but perhaps hard to translate into human words. 

Chapter 10 of an epic story about the Seven Deadly Sins, who originally were known as The Eight Temptations. This is their story of being who they are, engaging with humans, and with their powerful but removed parents.  This chapter is a closer look at Envy, and reveals a few secrets and clues about the other sibling deities. So much yet to discover!!! 

Watch for it. When a yes is ready to transform, morph, change you and your life.  That's when it's time to hear, "No, Not Yet", and trust, believe, dream, hope.  

I am an octopus. 🐙 And it’s hard to explain. But here, I try. And in so doing, I understand a bit better what it’s like to be in relationship with one. 😂 Plus, all the glorious wisdom they offer. 

What is embodied presence? How is it found, discovered, achieved, done, become, learned, BE?  Well, I'm not sure. That's why I continue to learn what it is, and how it might be 'BE'. 

What happens when two rocks meet, and realize they are on the same team, and play a game so quick it takes only 57 minutes for a home run and game over? Well, clarity is what happens. The two rocks get real clear, real fast. And that's great because none of us has much time! So hurry up!

In this episode, I trace my humble beginnings of integrity--as a heavy boulder--to my beautiful pillar of integrity, today. I've worked hard to learn how to create beauty with integrity, while being immovable with it, like Ozen from the anime The Abyss (which I highly recommend everyone watch!) So, cheers to everyone who practices integrity, with themselves, with others, with life, with energy, with it ALL! Best of luck!

Mother’s Day is not easy. So many have lost their mother, to death or estrangement, and so many have lost a child, to death or estrangment. This isn’t a carefree day for many — it’s complex, complicated, emotional, confusing. And it want to acknowledge that truth. 

This is a fabulous episode with a wonderful update on my therapy sessions, along with a raw view into my process of creating and understanding the cosmos of my book, through the cosmos of our universe!

What if fairy tales are wise, and filled with great nuggets of gold? We just have to shake them up a bit, see what's beneath the veneer, and then the stain, and the warped wood, and the rough grains, and ... then we might find some really fun stuff. 

There are so many unknowns in life, the most simple being ‘what comes next’. Who can answer that question? Who can tell where exactly we are in this cosmic dust? And how do we make meaning of something we barely know? Or clearly don’t know. This episode is like scrambled eggs - so enjoy the mess.
