Hello from Hermit Haven. 

My goodness, I want to say Well Met, but not sure that means anything to anyone. 

Well, all righty then, I'll just spill.........I tapped into the wind this morning.  

It was mysterious and divine and enriching and hilarious, all at once, and it blew my mind, quite properly. 

Did you know the wind has a Tempo? NO, I mostly did not, either. 

I'm still completely entranced by it (the experience) so I don't know how to talk about it yet except to say that I have so few good experiences lately, that it was a saving grace, for sure. 

WOW.

Dear Goddess: Consider me Gobsmacked! 

I get to do that? Ride the wind currents someday? Holy smokes. How damn lucky am I? I get to fly, without even leaving the ground? Hallelujah. Who knew about this and didn't tell me? lol. All kidding aside, I almost lost my mind last time, so it was just remembering for me. How did I forget? I never want to forget again. It's SUCH a blessing!

Now I know why the drum was so sacred to the Natives. I would definitely lie and hide mine, if someone came along thinking they were gonna take it. It truly IS a sacred instrument. It taps us into our own heartbeat and that of the universe, too!  I am completely in love with it........my big BEAR Bass Drum, it makes some delightful sounds and it's VEGAN. So impressive. 

BTW: I have NEVER played drums before I got this one. I had a Djembe in Vermont (it's still there) but it's so big, the machinations involved in actually moving it more than a few feet, and sitting up to play it, are restrictive. Plus, it involved a trip to the city for lessons, and I can't travel for events anymore, so it just sits there, quite forlorn.

The Boorah is quite easy to lug up and down the hill (twice a day, now), and the sound is as close to the heartbeat as anything I've EVER heard. In fact, I will tell you that part. 

I had a pergola installed up on the second landing and I started kitting it out for ceremony. I had placed my canners on the pig roaster with the covers on top, the bottom one up and the top one, down, but maybe the other way around, I can't be bothered, so check picture.

The breeze started jiggling the lid around, of the one on top, so I started to play along with it. I did it many times, and it NEVER once changed. Now, I find myself wondering if it's the same every day......how can it be, though? If it decreases and increases in strength from day to day, doesn't that mean the tempo would change? I have Sooooo many questions for the Goddess, now. lol. 

For today, It was consistently the tempo of either an adults heartbeat or a child's heartbeat. Right after I discovered that, I went into a weightless state, for about 20 seconds, until my brain stepped in (my brain has some serious trust issues). My big, beautiful, afflicted and fucky brain, sigh.  (see my post from yesterday.)

Well, I did it once, I can likely do it again, I hope. lol. 

It was timely, as I got triggered in class today. Doesn't seem like I can escape the Disrespect and Dismissiveness that seems to be just part of others, all of the friggin' time. 

I do not know why I am so triggered by these two things......but it is uncomfortable because I get the awful monkey tummy, still. (Versus the Monkey Brain, which I also cannot seem to tame).  

Because yea, the Universe is often perverse, so if an issue that you haven't resolved keeps presenting itself, you just gotta know that it needs examining and healing, Well, in the US now,  I can't find a therapist to help me figure it out, and I don't have the money, anyhow. EESH. 

Guess I gotta' do this one on my own, too. This is why I steer clear of people, none of them ever seem able to help me with these big, mind altering, life altering, questions, prompted by my experiences. 

This big Bear life of mine is a sure enough doozy. But, today, for the first time in a long time, I felt such profound gratitude that it made me cry (and my brain doesn't much like crying, either, so I literally can't most of the time)......fucky fucky brain of mine....thanks, I guess.

Something sure is shifting and if I go nuts with this round, who's gonna even care? So, I think (hope) I am ready. Do I dare say, "Bring It"? Well, I guess I just did. lol.

In closing, don't forget to try and do at least one thing today, that serves your higher good. 

I did, but, now, I gotta rest. That took A LOT of spiritual and psychic energy. So, very small hits are the order of the day, so this time around, Baby steps all the way. 

From the craggy edge of reason in the woods of Maine, keep the faith and don't forget to breathe.Remember to breathe every chance you get! You won't be sorry.

I particularly like this song, but it has nought to do with my post, or maybe it does? I have no idea, still pretty much tripping balls and jiggling my chair around the cabin without even trying. lol.
