Good Morning Sunshine,
I’m kinda talking to you and to myself. It’s Sunday morning and that always feels so special. Not so much the church connection as the “later morning” feeling, when everyone just get’s up whenever they want. I love that! I love being out in the Sunday morning environment before everyone gets up.
Well, I’m getting ready to head off to Chaco canyon this morning. I love this space I am in, just being in the moment and flowing with what I want to do. I had a plan for where I was going yesterday, and then I actually ended up doing the same route, but in reverse. I didn’t freak out, it’s just what happened and I went with it. It was a car-journey day, and I made so many stops taking photos and just appreciating the landscapes outside the car. I never turned on the radio or music and just drove in silence all day. Wundebar!
I traveled from Gallup west into Arizona again and north to an Inter-tribal meeting spot at Window Rock, a very beautiful and impressive red stone and mountain landscape. I got out of the car for awhile and just walked around, so impressed with the deep quiet of the place. All I could hear was the blowing of the wind. There are so many natural Stone Monuments jutting out of Mother Earth, Wow!! Then driving back south and to the east, I entered the Zuni Pueblo. Wow, Wow and more Wow!!! Just the word itself, Zuni, feels good to me and magical and feels turquoise in color. Their town, or pueblo, lies in the high valley with many multi-colored and magnificent mountains all around. Om Namah Shivaya! Really breathtaking. The mountains are with special shapes and features and the colors are the deep reds and purples and pinks. I feel very happy for this tribe, that they secured this remarkable landscape as their reservation, their home and land.
I see that I’ve not been doing much drawing and painting yet, mostly photography as my art so far, and the writing. The conditions outdoors can be challenging for an artist, the heat is so oppressive so shade is critical and then the wind is incredibly frustrating.
I’ve been saying recently in yoga retreats that “Being in the Flow” is one of the spiritual practices in the Age of Aquarius. Being at peace with what is as opposed to forcing what we think we should be doing. Ahhhhh....this surrender to what Is always feels so good to me.
