Grounded within the core of my body, my being…my spirit speaks. I am within my essence…feeling alive…vibrant, tranquil…I feel nurtured…comfort…serenity…here in this moment…enjoying this moment…my awareness speaking…tranquil. I feel as if am floating…I am touching the bed the table, the floor here all around…and at the same time my body is beyond the physical…it is everywhere. Deep in my motivation of Innocence, there is only being, each movement of my body is ecstatic…magical, mystical….my body is grounded within my being…I am being me…and that which it contains…results is everything. My body is floating…flying travelling…I do not know where…it does not matter…only that it feels correct…beautiful…oh! how I love being in my natural self…I am flying floating within my body among the physical and at the same time beyond…the most beautiful feeling…not one or the other…but embracing both…feeling both…loving both…loving every part of me…and loving every part of life. Oh, how I love this internal and physical space…when I am deep in my being…myself and my melancholy…where everything is possible…where I never know what’s coming… what creativity or art will emerge…what movement…what words…what stories…what visions…I do not choose it…it just comes…no effort…no control…just allowance…just being…alive in my body this moment…

Some weeks ago I was by this pond having fun taking photos of each other with my friend. There was this moorland hawker dragonfly among others. A male came and swooped this one quite violently and was mating with her as she was under water and seeming trying to get away seemed like he was drowning her. When he left she was stuck in the water drowning as her wings were drenched. We took her out of the water and placed her on the pier. She just sat there recuperating.
About 10 min after another male or same came doing the same thing. I once again placed her back on the pier. Her wings looked damaged and she did not seem well at all. Another male came so I put my hand in front blocking him. After a little bit I placed my hand out and she climbed on on her own. I put my other hand over to hide her from males and I took her a little bit away from the pier so she can rest and dry. My friend left and well I was supposed to be doing things but I sat with the dragonfly. She walked up to right before my elbow and sat “cleaning her face” and sometimes gently moving her body. After about 15 minutes she walked up to my shoulder and sat there. My mind was a bit, “ok we have to go” but I felt I would sit there for as long as she needed to sit there. There was no question about it. At one point this old woman walked by with her dog on the other side of the fence. Now I was lying down in a very awkward position on the ground and of course from that distance she could not see the dragonfly and she was looking at me as if I am a mad person….that was so funny lol. I said hello and she just gave me you are crazy look. I kept telling the dragonfly “you can do it!” after about ten minutes I was very happy to see that she was able to fly away. I read about them and apparently the females of this species have evolved to faking their death to protect against aggressive males coming to mate with them as many times they risk injury and death. I have often have dragonflies come to me in distress trapped somewhere or something like that and generally they have played an important role in my life… Grateful for the gift of those moments… I get to meet the most interesting coolest people at local farmers markets…such beautiful people…with beautiful stories…such a lovely atmosphere and just the smiles.
This one person was drawing animal portraits of people how cool is that? I love Vashon island… Last night I went to pick apples and I wasn’t the only one I was joined by a deer
and boy what a difference dancing alone in the house among closed doors and dancing outside under the night’s sky surrounded by the plants and trees….such a beautiful time…. Another glorious day yesterday. The baby deer with the mother were back again yesterday morning I proceeded leaping to catch apples from the branches and threw them over the fence. Later I went to see my dear dear friends. I was going to hitchhike yet there were no cars well three passed by and didn’t stop so what did I end up doing? I danced as I walked the whole way there…having a beautiful time.
Upon my arrival my friends were in the process of pressing apples for apple cider…I got to observe and watch the beauty. There was a gorgeous male deer that was very courageous and walked right up he wanted him some apples! I after proceeded to follow him into the field and bring him some apples in which he graced me with coming quite close. Later on we got to watch a beautiful sight with many deer gathering to eat the apple left overs that we stacked. It is mating season so we got to watch the bucks competing and the whole documentary even though its not quite time yet for the females. A beautiful time…. I was feeling how incredible joyful it was being in the garden on this beautiful sunny day and picking sunflowers to arrange in the house…I lifted one of the flowers and there was a bee in it fully covered in pollen…sooooooooo cute!!! So adorable! So there I was in my dreamy grateful state loving every moment feeling so joyful and I turn around and there is a baby deer…a beautiful baby deer…who then is followed by another and their beautiful mom. They slowly walk passed the fence and I enjoyed those beautiful moments as they walked off. Sometime after I went out for a walk around with no specific direction just was walking wherever and I ran into them once more. I was eating an apple so I threw it over and the mother went over and finished it. I sat and watched them in the field until they could no longer be seen. And then to top it later on me and my friend came across owl feathers…I feel immense joy….what a gift…

This beautiful being played a very important role in my life last year. I would sit behind the fence and spend time with him. He taught me a lot…now a year later I got to experience him up close….I am BEYOND grateful…such a gift!!! I say he has the universe in his eyes….
