Hello loves, I've been away for a while but I'm back now... Must've received @zdoggmd 's bat signal, because I too am going through (yet another!) dying. I've been catching up on content and listening to Z's description of how physical it can be is deeply resonant.
Currently my Mum (Mom) is dying of metastasised cervical cancer over in the UK while I am in Australia. I visited her last year, but won't be present with her for this. Although I am also fully present for this. I guess all that is really guaranteed in the physical world is life, death & rebirth/regeneration.
I've got this vague sense of a life-after, as we both die at the same time...
On the path I've had so many deaths.. Now I feel like I can ride the waves a bit more easily. Bobbing on whatever tide is present that day, allowing myself to surrender to wherever the current is taking me.
Here is a picture of my doggo in the sea at my local beach on a sundrenched day last week.
Love to you all

Fun captioned vertical version of our recent YouTube Live conversation, with no ads, here for Locals fam!
Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
In the middle of the night when your past misdeeds come back to berate you, you should do two things:
1. Honor the lessons and realize that it is because you're a better person now and be thankful of that!
2. See that persons who do harms against you and others are harming themselves more. Others are as yourself in the need compassion. Just as you needed compassion when you were in dark times, everyone needs compassion.
We are all a moment. We are not :that" moment, or a "future" moment. We are "this" moment!
Thinking about the "Original Sin" of the Bible:
After the beginning in which God declared at the end of each step "it is good," humanity was incapable of choice and error.
There was nothing further that could be done to complete the creation until the Adam made a choice to continue. The "Tree of Knowing Good and Bad" was given for the Adam with the warning that death would come with that, but just like a god, the Adam would have every choice and responsibility for that choice going forward.
Sin is just another way of saying that a bad choice was made, but the original choice is choice itself.
We all consented to be born into dangerous freedom.
Isn't it odd. I had to quickly make the kitchen a bit welcoming so whapped a cloth on the table and got flowers from the garden. Accidentally got transported straight here! @RisaD the cows made me think you (😂😂😂because Risa like Highland Cows!!!!) the roses made me think of @RoseyT and the whole day made me think of @ashleystuart94 - I hope you got flowers and all sorts of nice things this week ❤️
