I am not going to tell you how to be yourself, or what that is, I am going to show you it’s possible.
 Life inspires me…every day I fall more and more in love with myself, with life, with the planet. Being alive here now is my only dream whatever that brings and means, enjoying each moment with wonder… a full on adventure. A dream I live every day, every moment. I feel soooo in love with life, as if I am going to explode into millions of floating bubbles…being alive inspires me…
The constant discovery, uncovering…the beauty of the slowness of the process the building of trust in oneself, in others, in life, I stand in awe…at the perfection of life…of existence…the slow unraveling of the journey, an exploration, an adventure where you never know what is going to happen next, what magic you will behold. And the best part you discover that the only way it works is by doing being the greatest thing there is- being you. That you don’t have to compromise absolutely anything, no part of yourself, you don’t have to push yourself to the side in any way, shape, or form, on the contrary it’s the complete opposite the more you do so the more it does not work because life has your back. It all happens being the most beautiful, natural and funnest thing that exists – the unique you, by putting yourself first, by fully being all that you are. The more you listen to your body and do what is correct for you the more fun and beauty, you experience, the better it gets, the more it works…that is the gift that life offers us, the magic. DAMN!!!!! How is being alive not the greatest gift that exists? The perfection of life inspires me…existing inspires me…being alive inspires me…I am in love with life…  Today’s flower arrangement… I LOVE how every time I go outside for a new one there is a new different flower so that each flower arrangement is always different and unique.   The beautiful Hummingbird has been coming around a lot…quite the little fearless one it is…no matter how many of us are sitting right there under the tree it comes along and does its thing…making the world so much more beautiful…I named it Zinovia (Ζηνοβία).

If you are being a lover and love the other who is being a hater the hater will hate you more…or maybe they will stop being a hater. If you are being a lover and love the other who is being a lover well then you love each other even more. If you are being a hater and the other is being a hater uh oh! Run for cover! There are no lovers nor haters, when you are being a lover you are being yourself, when you are being a hater you are not being yourself but someone else.
Or… When you are being a stupid you hate the non-stupids, when you are being a non-stupid you don’t do well with the stupids. If you are being a non-stupid and love the other who is being a stupid the stupid will hate you more…or maybe they will stop being a stupid. If you are being a non-stupid and love the other who is being a non-stupid well then you love each other even more. If you are being a stupid and the other is being a stupid uh oh! Run for cover! There are no non-stupids nor stupids, when you are being a non-stupid you are being yourself, when you are being a stupid you are not being yourself but someone else. Or… When you are being a silly poo you hate the non-silly poos, when you are being a non-silly poo you don’t do well with the silly poo. If you are being a non-silly poo and love the other who is being a silly poo the silly poo will hate you more…or maybe they will stop being a silly poo. If you are being a non- silly poo and love the other who is being a non- silly poo well then you love each other even more. If you are being a silly poo and the other is being a silly poo, uh oh! Run for cover! There are no non- silly poos nor silly poos, when you are being a non- silly poo you are being yourself, when you are being a silly poo you are not being yourself but someone else.  Watching others be themselves is the most beautiful thing…just as beautiful as being myself…and watching the world, life be itself. Nature, the trees, the animals, plants and insects, ocean…the earth. No excuses, no guilt it just is, which makes it the most beautiful thing that exists…and gives me the greatest joy to watch while I do the same.
 Being in a state of gratitude for me feels like I am going to explode from joy, in fuzziness, flying among the skies, in a pool of ice cream or chocolate mousse, beautiful flowers and trees everywhere…grounded within myself…everything possible, everything beautiful…in love with life…
 People base their relationships with others on love. But is it about loving the other? Or is it about being in a situation where you can love both yourself and the other at the same time? Where both can be themselves without compromising who you are? Maybe that’s the only way it works? Where the relationship naturally results in you loving yourself more, the other, and what you make together. You can be more of you, they can be more of themselves and you can be more of what you are together and what you create together. If that is not the case it doesn’t mean you don’t love the other or care about them anymore. You can love yourself and they can love themselves, and you can love each other, separately.
A relationship of any nature in which you can be yourself, and the other can be themselves and you can be yourselves together, without trying to change anything. Just being with each other. It just happens, when it is correct it flows wonderfully, you compliment each other’s being, no matter what your difference. You cannot force it, nor create it, it is a result of you being, that’s all you have to do is be. You don’t have to do anything other than be you. With some this will allow them to be more of themselves with others it will take them away from themselves, it’s simply about knowing when it is correct for the both you, there is no fault or someone to blame. With some you can live in beauty together, with others you live in beauty separately. In both cases you get to be grateful for each other. It’s not an ideal or a dream its real…I know it’s possible because I live it. When we do not follow this, honor this then the not-self is amplified, created, harnessed which results in idiotic blaming. It doesn’t matter what type you are, what profile, what your motivation is, your view, what centers you have defined or not. It doesn’t matter what your differences are or your sameness, none of that makes ANY difference when it is correct and you both can be with each other as yourselves. Anything can be a problem or an issue or something wonderful. You can be yourself with everyone, no matter who you are, you can exist with anyone, you can love anyone, care for anyone, be with anyone, it is not any specific group or belief, idea, or story…its individual. And that is the beauty you never know, it is not determined. It can only be discovered individually with that person. You will never have anything remotely close to sameness we are too different. Perhaps the only sameness that can exist is love of self and the other. If you are not correct to be in each other’s lives the way you THINK they should be THEN ALL these things, these differences then become a problem ONLY then, and each’s not-self is amplified and thrives. If you enter into any kind of relationship with anyone with any kind of predetermined view that is mind, you are not listening to your own unique knowing. You are functioning from belief, limitation, and mind. Or if you try to analyze why it is not correct why the relationship does not work blaming a certain characteristic, type, center, you are again being mind at that moment, you are not you, you are not recognizing the uniqueness of you or the other, you are seeing one tiny piece of the whole trying to find and excuse, turn it into something ugly, and you lose the greatest gift you can receive acceptance…acceptance of who you are, who the other is, and whether it works for both of you without blame. Acceptance of life a result of being who you are. Being not attempting to change that…make you or the other something they are not and make the us what it is clearly not. There will be no gratitude then nor love. There is no formula, there can’t be, we are all unique and what we make uniquely together. The only correct relationship is if I can be me and you be you at the same time. Without judgment. Does love really exist? Is it something solid? Or is the result of you being you? The expression of who you are? You cannot create who you are you can only be it, your body knows what that is, that is your inner knowing and awareness, it is not mentally determined…it’s a discovery unraveling, seeing what that is and being more of that. It is not mentally determining… determining…that you should be that person’s friend, or lover, or business partner, that you should see them ten times a day, or twice a year, or have this interaction be this way or that way in order to be loved or be loving instead of being you with the other and allowing the other to be themselves and see what unique relationship evolves from that. You cannot know how that would look like, how could you? Or decide what that will be. This mixture of two people has NEVER existed before nor will it EVER exist again. You can only know if it’s correct for YOU if this other is correct for YOU by being you and living it. Following that moment by moment knowing, that is you. You are unique…watch the unfolding by being without seeking to change, create it, just be it. It requires no effort, there is no struggle, it is the easiest thing in the world as long as you do not resist. There is nothing to change within you, within the other or in the world there is only the knowing of who you are, what is correct for you, who is correct for you, moment by moment. When you allow the gift of you moment by moment by being it, life aligns you with the gift of the other, the correct people, moments, situations, and life. So here is to the correct people and incorrect people I love you all and grateful for all of you and…go be you…  I am a blank slate…so everything is possible. This is what is natural for me. No desires, expectations, conclusions, or plans. I don’t know until I know. I do not have an opinion. I only have a beinness, being me. I only know how to be…at that moment in time. Open…I am a blank slate…I have no past nor future, I cannot know what will happen in the future, what I will feel, think or express, want, or do…it changes, morphs all the time. Same goes for the past…it morphs changes all the time. My thoughts of it, my feelings, my view…it does not exist. I move in this world as a blank slate, I do not try to be so, it just is…it cannot be any other way.
So do not ask me about my future, any dreams, or views I do not know…everything is possible… The only thing I can tell you is what I will BE…and that…that is me… I am Splenic, I am Innocence, I am possibility…and I am eternally grateful…  Do not try and take my light…be your own unique light. Do not search for your light through anyone else’s, you will not find it. It can only be found within you while you are being you.
