I've just had the most extraordinary day. I hope that yours has been so as well.
I am enjoying a small bowl of tomato thai soup with noodles in it! Yum. It's been a very productive day yet I am not exhausted, which is a bit odd, but I'll take it! There is a GMa gathering in AZ at the end of the month and I was trying to get tons of things finished before I hit the road to go there.
So today the steel covering the walls of the kitchen were finished. Very cool. that is even with me putting a screw through an electrical wire buried in the foam insulation, taking all the steel off to find the offending screw cut the wire out of the foam splice in a new piece to make a clear circuit then re- foam the patch, test the circuit, replace the steel, and woooo hoooo! get er done! that was a really nice feeling to find that spot of disconnect and remove it.
While I was cutting and moving sheets of Steel I was listening to Earl Bullhead sing the songs from the Sacred Directions, practicing the songs for an inipi. It was cheering me up. I grew up in a large family and miss having family around. I like my privacy and do require tons of alone time but also enjoy sharing meals, work and getting to see and hear how others also had and extraordinary way of unfolding the day. I so enjoyed the camp at GMa Margarets in Lame Deer. It was like being with family having plenty of work to do, and lots of fun, yet nice private time as well. To all of you that I have met and visited with over the years I missed you today!!
I was thinking about the Kung Fu Panda song this morning. "the journeys a lonely one, so much more than you can know, but sometimes you have to go, go on and be your own hero." It was funny to be hoisting up a big sheet of Steel and to look up and see a Spirit Being standing in the back doorway, leaning against the door jam. I was a bit taken aback, then said hey help me lift this in. All day after that I felt that Spirit helping me. Funny how I never asked like that before. Funny how seeing was believing today. I was happy to see and to have the help. It sure made the day smoother and we gots lots done. finished the kitchen walls, debrided and cleaned up the final bits of plaster and lath and old insulation in the upstairs office. vacuumed it and the downstairs stair well to prep for foam. Then foam insulated the downstairs stair well and around the front door, the upstairs office, and finished foaming the upstairs bathroom. Swept , cleaned all up, and now am having soup and I feel easy and not so tired. Thats really really nice. i think Ill ask for help more often. LOL
Remember in Kung Fu Panda when OOgway said to Shifu you just have to believe. and Po's dad taught him that in order to make something special you just have to believe it is special. And Po realized that the meaning of the Dragon Scroll was that there is no secret ingredient. Its just HIM. It's just ME, It's just YOU we are special we already are our own heroes
It has been suggested to me that naming who is advisor or 'behind" this project would help "attract" more donations or support. I am not sure that is the way to go about this. This house is about love, and peace and trust. About helping each person discover, understand, strengthen, and embody their relationship with themselves as an Eternal Being. To discover their own path and their own relation to the spiritual connection that strengthens them and gives them peace. I would much prefer that they, you, I, WE each of us find that trust and belief in ourselves from honest trust and support. Not because others are doing it, or a person of clout is also "One of Us"!! LOL you are the only person who can believe in you for you and thus for me for others for this house, you are the only one who can believe in it. Make it real, make it what it is.
To each of you this house will be a different thing, This Project will bring a different teaching, a different challenge, a different comfort. Or pain!LOL I have so many times smashed a finger, or pinched my skin, or inhaled way too much dust!! Pain must be perspective don't you think?
It will bring what you want, what you seek in it, what you wish to find in you about it.
that is the way of the Pipe that is the way of the Center of The East and West Gate. that is part of the gift. The Present
today i found support and a buggered electrical wire. LOL it is s wonderful house and a wonderful place to learn.
I want you all to know that I appreciate you, I respect you, I love you, and I honor you
sleep well
