Wanderings

The Universe is inundating me with loving guidance, and I am listening. I used to be obsessed with celebrity culture. I wanted to be Katy Perry. Which is a purely ego, not heart path. I used to read celebrity magazines as a guilty pleasure, but the stories are stale and ridiculous and there's no way I would ever even be able to stand being in that world.

The past three months have been such a turning point, and I've begun to identify new role models and value. For example, Alanis Morissette. I picked up THIS magazine at Whole Foods today, about "the conscious culture," and as I read through it I realized that after all this time in San Francisco and at the Omega Institute, I know half the people who are in the magazine. I've met them, hugged them, danced to their music, been to their workshops, had conversations, developed friendships. In essence, I'm already a part of that world. Not only in knowing it but in resonating with the same values. So anyway, that seemed like the Universe giving me a loving knock on the head. Stop striving for something that's not realistic, and which would never suit you, anyway. You're already here. You're already where you're supposed to be.

:) And on that note, I'm off to a Kirtan/Seva at the Palace of Fine Arts with Jai Uttal, Snatam Kaur, and emceed by none other than Wavy Gravy! In two weeks I go to Shaktifest in the Joshua Tree Desert. To continue the path I started with the very teachers and trailblazers featured in this magazine. Transmuting the anger, healing, shaking it out, making it beautiful. Jai Bhagwan!
