ommmmmmmm

just in and sweaty from grooooving at jivamukti to krishna das and mc yogi! yay. just what i needed.

i’m grateful for:

1) the vegan brownies at jivamukti
2) the innocent boyish fun and hilarity of mc yogi
3) ganesh is fresh!
4) feeling it all
5) dancing my booty off tonight to hip hop kirtan
6) that i get to dive into the new spearhead album
7) the love in my heart, even when it seems to hurt like a tearing ligament (is it just stretching like the grinch’s heart? will i get stretch marks on it?)
8) my deepening, widening friendships with women
9) the moon, still–even tho it’s “the most volatile of the year,” according to susan miller
10) arjuna’s tabla playing
11) this poem and rob breszny for including it in his newsletter today:

You Don’t Have to Act Crazy Anymore

You don’t have to act crazy anymore —
We all know you were good at that.

Now retire, my dear,
From all that hard work you do

Of bringing pain to your sweet eyes and heart.

Look in a clear mountain mirror –
See the Beautiful Ancient Warrior
And the Divine elements
You always carry inside

That infused this Universe with sacred Life
So long ago

And join you Eternally
With all Existence – with God!

–Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky
