Today, home is where I am flying back to  . . . the place where I can unpack my bags, gather my thoughts, indulge in a steamy hot bubble bath and a clean change of cloths and decide where to head off to next---enjoying the best espresso on earth and unlimited highspeed internet connection ( typing this from a tiny mountain side cybercafe) . . ok, it's a veritable haven of creature comforts :-D 

i'm constantly striving to die to (give up?) my past in each new moment--- have found that's the only way to BE present right here, right now . . .don't see how it would be possible to "give up my life" to anyone or anything-- seems to me that  life always IS & always will BE  :-D  so who am "I" to think there is a choice ?

Right Now: Veterans Climb Government Building, Call for Arrest of Bush and Cheney Impeachment movement challenges Bush at every turn   The enormous banner hanging from the National Archive building... right now!   Right now, five military veterans -- from Veterans for Peace -- are occupying a 35-foot high ledge at the National Archive Building and have raised a 22x8-foot banner reading, "DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION. ARREST BUSH AND CHENEY: WAR CRIMINALS!" The veterans currently risking arrest have declared their intention to stay on the ledge, fasting for 24 hours "in remembrance of those who have perished and those still suffering from the crimes of the Bush administration," according to a written statement. On the ledge, the veterans have brought with them a portable PA system, and they are broadcasting recorded statements from prominent Americans for the impeachment and/or arrest of George W. Bush and Richard Cheney. Other impeachment activists are at the entrance of the National Archives distributing "Citizens Arrest Warrants" to those waiting in line. This is the type of boldness that activists have displayed across the country to bring much-needed attention to this movement. Impeachment on the move Every week and month, the Bush administration seems to add to its long list of impeachable crimes. This month's crime: the handing over of $700 billion of tax-payer dollars to his buddies on Wall Street. ImpeachBush.org has launched a nationwide initiative called VoteNoBailout to stop Bush's bailout legislation. Since yesterday, over 56,000 letters have been sent to Congress saying the White House has no right to transfer the people's money to the richest people in the country. The impeachment movement is exposing these crimes on every front, raising the questions the corporate media won't, and taking dramatic action when needed. From the Bush administration's unspeakable war crimes to the recent bankers' coup d'etat, the impeachment movement has been at the forefront of the fight back.

duh. . . what kind of a secret would that be if I told all you Gais ? ? ?

ps--how bout a non-secret, then . . . I LOVE YOU ALL cuz you're ALL GOD !

construction. . . eeeeekkkk! ! ! !  yes, complete w/ porta-potty immediately outside my frontdoor---pondering the deeper meaning & feng shui connotations of this predicament ! ok-ok, even MORE space clearing & re-building my life from scratch.  after embracing, liquidating & laboring all summer long, am definately persuing that sailing vacation in Barcelona w/ the deep blue MED. as my all-healing horizon. . .

for over half a century this current move---thankfully, still checking in w/ my original Planet too on a regular basis :-D

. . . three scoops w/ organic hot chocolate sauce :-D

The Self We Share

Thirst is angry with water. Hunger bitter
with bread.The cave wants nothing to do

with the sun. This is dumb, the self-
defeating way we've been. A gold mine is

calling us into its temple. Instead, we
bend and keep picking up rocks from the

ground. Every thing has a shine like gold,
but we should turn to the source! The

origin is what we truly are. I add a little
vinegar to the honey I give. The bite of

scolding makes ecstasy more familiar. But
look, fish, you're already in the ocean:

just swimming there makes you friends with
glory. What are these grudges about? You

are Benjamin. Joseph has put a gold cup
in your grain sack and accused you of being

a thief. Now he draws you aside and says,
"You are my brother. I am a prayer. You're

the amen." We move in eternal regions, yet
worry about property here. This is the

prayer of each: You are the source of my
life. You separate essence from mud. You

honor my soul. You bring rivers from the
mountain springs. You brighten my eyes. The

wine you offer takes me out of myself into
the self we share. Doing that is religion.
