Inspiration Leads To Action

I woke up with a song in my head this morning that wouldn’t leave my awareness.You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings.

I started feeling good, appreciating my life, and thought more deeply about wind and wings, and why wind and wings feels so attractive to me.

The wind represents inspiration, and the wings are the actions.

Inspiration comes first as it allows me to act rather than I have to force or push myself to act.

The wind uplifts me into actions which are the wings flying my ideas into some form of physical expression.

I use to feel uncomfortable waiting until I felt like doing something.Now; it makes total sense as inspiration feels me to act.

I do this in skating, moving through jumps, and believe it or not, jumps have an under curve and an over curve.It feels as if these curves are like waves in the ocean.Maybe the connection between waves, wind, and wings really fits as energy always moves even when we think we are still.

A few weeks ago, my skating coach, Uschi and I discussed creating a show program for me.Uschi said pick some music that moves and inspires you.

I looked through my large selection of CD’s and nothing felt inspiring.

I began to feel frustrated, and at the same time, I realized that if I was patient enough and used intention and attention to focus me about this new project, something would happen.

I just heard something on television that move me and inspires me.

Now; the next step is to create a program that matches the feelings I feel and when the program is finished, I will feel where it will lead me, and I will follo the flow..

I love the incredible times we are living in with all the possibilities, options, opportunities, and all of the challenges.

It will be interesting to follow the flow of how we create a program, and allow the spontaneity and sensitivity to structure the program.

Ideas are wonderful, and; inspiration to me allows them to grow and flow enough into actual physical expressions or physical experiences.

A Shift In Energy

I had to share this mail I got from my friends, Dotti and Roby

Stand Up Speak Out

This says everything I could say, and better.

Dear Friends… since early this morning I have been in communication (via email) with

our dear friend in Vancouver BC, “Tommy Transit.”Tommy is a delightful man who

drives a Vancouver City Bus.He is a man we met about 6 years ago when he came down

for a Taylor James house concert we hosted.

(Taylor… we love you! Hope your tour to the “war zone” is safe, successful and filled

with LOVE!)

Tommy is a man who touches lives every single day

.He goes to work and makes people smile, laugh and

feel loved

.He hugs his riders.He celebrates their joys and cries with them when they hurt.

He was on Vancouver TV last year when his friends organized a surprise birthday bash

for him at work… can you imagine people getting on his bus at every single stop celebrating

him?!?!He’s one of those “Morrie” kind of guys that we feel incredibly fortunate

to call “friend.”It’s truly a joy to witness the excitement and celebration from

our Canadian friends!

We love you, Tommy!

Rocky & Steve

… the tears of joy and excitement we all shared together last night will always be

remembered and treasured.Thanks for sharing this historic evening with us!

WE LOVE YOU, CANADA!!!!!

So right now, we want to share a little bit of our Tommy with you…We hope you feel

as touched as we did when we read it.

Roby… Just one more note …. much more than I have time for right now … but Michele

and I lay in bed last night for over an hour at 3am talking about the excitement

of OBama…. this is monumental and deeply exciting to be witnessing this historic

and long overdue shift in the intelligence of human consciousness.We feel… we

feel in our bones the shift in energy that this election result has given birth to.

Students on my bus were cheering in unison…. I had nothing to do with it… I was

loading 45 – 60 kids at the university and I high fived a guy with an Obama button

… and said loudly… “Can you say President Obama ??”…. he said “Oh yeah”….then

he started a chant – a wave of euphoria screaming

“Obama Obama“

over and over then it switched to cheers whistling and clapping…. wow…. the

energy surged through my bus all night as the results flooded cell phones, lap tops,

text messages and radios.People were smiling everywhere and I started asking them

as they boarded the bus what was making them smile ??….. over 80% said – “Hey Obama

won, this is so exciting.”……… I regularly pick up about 500 passengers during

my shift….

so you better believe that us Canadians are on board with the world hopefully that

this intelligent articulate man will alter the path of history that he already has

begun…….

much more later…

My shift on the bus last night brought tears of joy to my eyes

just thinking of all the interactions with passengers that this has set in motion…..

So happy to share more with you……. these are very exciting times.I love that

he said,

“We have many hurdles but we will work together and one thing you can expect from

me is the truth.”…

Obama in his acceptance speech.Wow…..bring it on.

Palpate The Perfect

I woke up early this morning, feeling this is an important and exciting day in my life.It isn’t just about voting, but it is interesting as this election seems to be historical on every level.

I already wrote about Palpating Perception and feel that palpating the perfect is something I feel as the dots and openings now represent ideas and opportunities of growth.

I use to feel perfect didn’t grow, but looking at my Course in Miracles notes I realize that spirit is already perfect.If this is so, then the perfect which is spirit uses mind as means for its self expression.I’m sure somewhere in the Course books it states this better than me.I feel it and that is why I am writing a bit about perfect, and palpating the perfect feels good.It is yet another way of saying which ideas work and use the ideas that work rather than the ideas that do not work.

I am starting to use my imagination to actually imagine my entire world as perfect.This doesn’t mean that I won’t grow.It merely means I can grow with what works and feel my way through the things that are not working with gentleness, dignity and some kind of flow.

Flow to me has a liquid quality like water.If this is the case, then love to me is flow, and love is like an inner liquid flowing through me and around me.

It is interesting as I am an ice skater that love being like liquid is something I can experience and experiment with as it feels really good.

Flow represents lack of friction, and love is lack of friction.

Fear feels like friction, and when I add fear plus doubt I get a lot of friction and not if any flow.

Imagine what we can do when each of us feels perfection or perfect inside, and begins to play and palpate it so gently that by the mere feeling and sensing it, the perfect begins to grow.

This is why for me; sensitivity to the liquid love or flow or energy in general is as valuable as a teaching tool.

My experiences get validated by the energy which I suppose is a way for me to connect with inner guidance.

Maybe spirit uses energy through me as a way of translating what feels good as to what doesn’t feel so good and uses both as tools and not weapons against each other.

This takes the pressure off of polarity and polarity becomes more of a connection between all things.

Including all with no exclusion or separating only connecting, flowing, and less friction.
