Happy Ecstatic Friday, January 15th 2016

From our winter spot, even with all windows closed, we hear the sea breathing, heavily. In and out. A slow dance...not a cha-cha or salsa, but a gliding waltz. I think. Smooth. Powerful. Beckoning. Perhaps that is why on this Ecstatic Friday, I'm reminded of Nietzsche: "We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once." Here's to dance filling your day. Even if it is for a brief moment and by yourself. Dance, dance, dance.

Ecstatic Friday, March 27, 2015

Happy Ecstatic Friday. One night this week was warm enough to coax a few fireflies to dart-and-dash outside. When I was a child, I always thought their light was the Divine saying, "I'm here. I'm here." I guess that's why this Gandhi quote came to me: "If you don't find God in the next person you meet, it is a waste of time looking for him further." Whether it is a person, an insect, an animal or just looking in the mirror, the Divine is already there. All you have to do is greet it and say, "Namaste!"
