blunt answer

I found this random website on Kijiji. It was offering free “blunt” answers to life I prersumed. So the following was my question. I will keep you informed with the answer I receive. Link: http://illtellyou.weebly.com/

“I am excited to see how you will deal with me.

I am looking for emancipation from my stagnant position regarding my career/life. I feel I can do anything on this earth. Me, simply, I love art and have been putting lots of energy around this I have a side job to subsidize my passion but I also feel stale. Help.

Not looking for a psychic, but more of an out of the ordinary approach to my conundrum. Where will I find my answer? I already looked inside. Or maybe I have not looked deep enough?

Blunt answer?”

the torch

My intention for this entry is so I can remember the experience.

Last night, in the midst of my hustle and bustle, I was rerouted by a power much greater than myself...

I was heading up Simcoe St. towards Taunton Rd around 6:00pm when I noticed large crowds lining up on the sides of the street. It took a few more blocks of driving before I clued in. It was the Olympic Torch coming to town... What was so significant was the fact that I really had no reason to drive north on Simcoe. So I feel like I was suppose to witness this wondrous human phenomenon. It consisted of a long parade of sponsorship vehicles (like Coke and what not), buses, and police. As I drove alongside of the parade I was able to capture all the excitement as traffic was slow. Next thing I know I see the bright torch light in the night. Our paths crossed quite literally.

Heavy.

a shooting star/as real as it gets...

Wednesday, December 9, 2009

This must be captured. And so it is.

I captured and embraced a shooting star today! How often do you get to hear or share that?

It landed this morning at 8:30am in the Oshawa General Hospital. I was told there were many witnesses. And those who saw, felt and grasped the experience also noticed the world lighten and grow.

When I found out about the landing, it was both overwhelming and relieving to know there was a brand new spirit joining us on this journey called life. And since the guiders of this miracle are so close to my life, I felt a barrage of mixed feelings. What was astonishing was the gravitational pull this wild wonder had over me. I was able to bypass all my own emotions and current personal chaos as soon as I laid eyes on her. In fact, I met Zoey Anne Kathleen Paterson and her mother, Carri Carlyle, with a childlike giggle followed by relief and a reminder of how REAL life is. Seeing this star was as REAL as it gets.

The following moments were so profound, that as I write, I can vividly recall each moment I spent in the presence of those two wonderful spirits. I can remember the footsteps and each word said. It was not long before a brand new life was in my arms. Only the moment was reciprocated between us. Like a bolt of lightning combined with a past caress from my own mother. I was refreshed. Either a spell was lifted or cast; I would like to believe both.

I spoke the deepest prayers I could find within in order to give all I could at that very moment. It was a feeling of honour and delight to be there.

I was off to find the father, Sean Paterson. He was to be found at Teddy’s Eatery with his two fathers. And I can still feel the embrace we shared.

I was to return later in the evening for a follow up visit. I could not get enough of this new life.

And to think how often this occurs.

A day in the life of life.

perfectly indescribable

Well let me share with you an inspirational tale. I went away for 2 nights 3 days to Bon Echo provincial park all by my lonesome. (In fact I just got back a couple hours ago.) It was much needed trip and much appreciated. I was just so grateful for the entire experience. As soon as I left my house, with my car full of gear, I felt freedom. Even the ride up there was spiritual and meaningful. I had lots of "signs" that guided me on my way.

The park took longer to get to than expected. About a 2 hour tour, which was not necessarily a bad thing. I was so aware and interested with my surroundings and the smalls towns that I would drive through. I think that must be an "age" thing. It is the first time ever that I cared about small towns called "Madock" & "Havlock".

I finally reached my destination and told the park ranger my plan of being secluded and that I was by myself. She put me into the MOST perfect site. It was a premier site. It was a site where I had to walk and carry everything in, leaving my car in a lot. What a piece of Mother Earth. The site and the view, perfect. It overlooked a portion of the Mazinaw Lake and in the background was the renowned Mazinaw Rock. This gigantic and monstrously beautiful bolder took up my entire view other than the lake and the stars at night. Yet, it was so profound and exhilarating that I did not mind the interuption at all!

This was a huge campground with tonnes of activities, but I was here for me. My agenda was to follow my nose, exercise, explore, investigate (inward and outward), meditate and eat. I had purchased a nice assortment of goods, including steaks, steaks and more steaks, to feast on throughout my stay.

The first night fell fast and it was colder then expected but I had loads of clothing and a good sleeping bag. The second day was started late but I was attacked by a platoon of raccoons the night before. I conquered a few hiking trails during my run, went for a swim right at the bottom of MY campsite and while sipping on my coffee and being warmed by my fired I was motivated to do some art. But I needed something else, something more...

So I went exploring and found just what I was looking for. I initially went looking for another hiking trail deeper in the park but I found something else. I took a long drive within the large park by using a back road. This wild road went from being a 2 lane paved road to a narrow off-road trail. I came to a point where I was no longer able to drive; I had to take the old Heel Toe Express in. I had been following this road sign from kilometres back that was suppose to take me to Joe Perry Lake. Well after a 20 minute uncertain, stumbling stroll I found my awakening. It indeed, was Joe Perry Lake. But that was it, just me and Joe Perry. It was the most beautiful place. PERFECTLY INDESCRIBABLE. Not a cottage on site, not a camper to be heard, not a ripple in the water, not a soul to be felt. It was all me. Just for me. I could see for miles from the shore I stood at. Now don't get me wrong, this looks like a place that could be busier during the warmer summer months. But not yesterday. In fact this place was so secluded that the canoes I did find, were not even locked up. I ended up saying what I had to say to Joe Perry, finding the perfect walking stick and making my way back to another steak dinner.

This morning was spent making some steak and eggs and tearing down.

Mission accomplished.
