This morning i found a comment left by someone anonymously on my last post with sketches from Louis Ck.
I deleted it, because i felt attacked, i regretted i did immediately after i had done that. I took a second closer look as to why i felt attacked, and then saw no reason to feel that way at all. And by the way posting your opinion in this way, anonymously, does not show for a lot of bravery or much skill to really openly communicate about important stuff...
Luckily i found a copy of what they have said in my mailbox, so here it is:
"Girl - you must had a terrible day to then find this man funny. What's funny about a monologue filled with expletives?".
This person clearly does not Louis CK's kind of humor, and that's okay. I just want to respond openly therefor out here to why i do think he is very funny. It is an interesting topic to have a discussion about or to just spend some time thinking to your self about. Because even if i do see and feel that some of his content is too 'load' on the expletives side, so yes i agree with that to some extend, i still find it very very tempting to watch and love it too. Because if you listen carefully to the bottom line of most of his sketches you will see he is a very conscientious person who wants to get an important message across. I find the way he chooses to do that very interesting and most of all courageous. Why courageous? Because he walks the fine line between worlds to get a meaningful message across. When people do that, walk on the edge but still manage to not fall off, i applaud them!! Well even if they did fall off here and there,that's totally okay by me, that's life. And using words like he does, Jeesh man!!! What's wrong with that?? Sometimes i really hate to live in this fake world we create, where everything is nice and neat. Why does everything have to be aesthetically correct all the time?!?! He just says it like everyone thinks it!! If you look closer his kind of courage is a medicine to heal with...By making us feel uncomfortable he teaches us about who we really are, not the pretty us but the real us! That's what inspires me..... But please don't mind me i know am an incurable romantic, i see poetry in the strangest places..
I love it when people respond to my discussions, so please do feel welcome to leave your view to share with us...any view..

In each moment, depending on where our attention is, we are either practicing being awake, being presence, or being caught up in our stories. The past, the future. What he or she did, what I will do when, when a particular thing happens and I will finally be happy. You know the way it goes. So, in this very moment, what are you practicing?
When I remembered what Natalie said, I was practicing a familiar kind of suffering. I was believing one of my top ten stories about what's wrong with me. And then, the moment I remembered what my friend said, I realized I had a choice. I could stop. Right now. Then I noticed that the sun came out in my body. I felt lighter. I felt free.
The moment you realize you have a choice, the moment you stop being enthralled by your own fantasy, everything changes. It's as if a bubble pops and you wake up from your own dream.
So--what are you practicing right now?

I been wondering what this word meas for a while now.. Now i keep hearing it more often from all kinds of directions, i figure that it means it has a message for me (and others). This is the explanation that i 'get' and love!
Picture and text from here
Indigenous Is
Indigenous is not a skin color,
Indigenous is not my nose,
...Indigenous is not my lips,
Indigenous is not romanticizing ancient teachings,
To appropriate,
To disseminate,
To cut to pieces,
And abbreviate in a research document,
Indigenous is removing layers of shame from your ancestors trail,
Indigenous is stepping up to the plate,
Healing and creating a new way for future generations,
Indigenous is standing tall,
Indigenous is standing beautifully,
Indigenous is an honor.

I’ve been drawn to stones more and more lately. I have been doing lots of research on them, how to use them and what they can do for us. It’s a very fascinating world, the world of stones. They can heal and help us transform in so many different ways. During my recent visit to my friend, Claudette, I was lucky enough to visit a store where we could buy them at much cheaper rates than usual.
So I’m posting some pictures of my collection, I’m happy with them and showing them off. I feel their power and their magic so strong. It’s really amazing when you think about it, these stones have been formed over such a large number of years we even can’t comprehend. They have been formed in places we have no clue about. And now they are laying here in my living room. How can they not be super powerful?!?!

Visual Quest sketch on a ripped cereal box
In this sketch a flamingo appeared. inspired by our visit to the zoo yesterday. flamingo's are one of the most magical animals to me. i always have been fascinated by them. so i was wondering what their 'medicine' is. What i found out about their medicine was simply beautiful...
Flamingo medicine:
Why are your feathers so gorgeuosly pink? We used to be clouds. Pink clouds... How can you stand on one leg without falling over? We think of where we came from and just relax. Anything is possible if we came from being a pink cloud to standing here before you on one leg.
Let him inspire you to stretch beyond your limits and reach for the stars while remaining grounded in Mother Earth. Cut loose from the mundane world. Your imagination lives outside the boundaries of space and time. Use it to look beyond the limits of modern day thinking. Since time began, humankind has turned eastward toward the rising sun to remember Soul’s hope every day.
It’s time to expand your vision - In what ways are you thinking too small?
Words i used in this sketch:
What haunts us most are the things we never said.
I am not a master, i know nothing.My heart is radiant and it wants t
to flow back to the river.
