moments and moods

This morning I searched for and found a beautiful Temple of Buddha on SecondLife and my avatar and I meditated together for the first time. It was wonderful. The meditation script is pretty amazing...the slowww and subtle breathing movements...the eyes...I felt myself relax right into it just watching her/me. This is something quite profound when you think of it. Such a learning tool..

Landmarked this spot as a favorite to return to often. My sound wasn't working but there is even a spinning tibetan prayer wheel near the buddha with Om Mani Padme Hum as a 'sound'! I can't wait to return and hear it. This Temple is located in Kasba.

I dreamt many things this morning...tidal wave again...holding breath as it passes over me...somehow getting into a hotel and pulling myself and an elevator up manually using rails in the elevator shaft and all my strength..rooftop...B's sister looking out to the horizon, ready to become her 'alter-ego', B's mom being brought in by the police, traumatized by the wave, stuttering, broken sanity. She had been 'bringing Christmas' to a native tribe, was wearing a beaded necklace gift from them. But now, had gone insane.:(

But another part of the dream was my favorite:
I had an elephant.
A beautiful huge full-sized elephant. And we loved eachother utterly and beyond.
I was wiping dust and sand off it's big beautiful face so slowly and we looked into eachother's eyes with Love.
Oh such love. Makes me smile to remember.
I pressed on its left shoulder in such a way to tell it to lie down...He needed to, exhausted. Then I curled up right there on the trunk by the face and we slept as we 'always did'. My elephant and I.

It's a hot hot day...and silly little things amuse me.Went to the gym and floated around in the pool this morning after running...soooooo nice! Back home after my shower I put my hair up and these tendrils were sticking out so I wet them again and they curled in a quirky, sweet way. Since these kind of things will ONLY seem to happen when no one's looking and they amuse me much more than they should,I decided to snap some pics and be a shameFUL exhibitionist girlie-girl.;)*guilty-smooch* Happy Summer!

feeling meow-ish today. stayed in pjs nice and cozy. yesterday mood was unstable...to appease the PMS demons we drove into the sunset (I need that light and motion) and headed to Borders. My eyes came alive during the trip and I enjoyed doing all the strange things i tend to do- like peering into the light beams and reflections and spots on the window until it seems I'm granted x-ray vision and I see all these layers of moving cells or particles. Never can explain it well but hey it's what i like to do. Wish I could project what I see in order to get feedback from others. But anyhoo. Diner dinner with my sweets. I feel all smushy and in love.At Borders I grabbed a caramel latte (yuuuuuuummm) and started reading Michel Foucalt 'Of Other Spaces' looking for some answers.he. Just started getting good and Borders is closing...it's always a time-warp in there! Am going to buy maps soon to experiment with, under resin with nails and possibly screen.here's a meow hello from me with paw.:)
