with my heart open and my world on fire, I cry out to the heavens asking only for courage and peace. And I make beauty with anything I can get my hands on. This , I believe, is helping my mind to become more pliable, better able to hold the chaos; it is helping my heart to stay open, sending and receiving love every moment. What do you do that helps your mind and heart on this journey.

my good friend and teacher Carol dies the day after (which was yesterday). today they dance in the energies of infinity where we will all join them sooner or later. I was feeling very sad until ​I found this old Ted Talk by Jill Bolte Taylor entitled: My Stroke of insight

which made my heart sing and my mind relax (which was the last pith instruction that Carol gave to me, "just relax Brenda"). may peace be our guide, this and every day. love you all. b

today is pi day......this moment is all that we have, all that exists. I am happy right now and very curious; i'm curious to see how we all will support the students, how we who were born under the stars of revolution will rise up with the youth of today, the change makers. I'm curious what you all think about the evolution of consciousness and what the elements of change actually are. there was a rabbi named reb zalmond who spoke about the change we are about to experience; I had the great good fortune to hear him speak here in boulder and I am forever grateful. he said we are going from a mind centered conciuosness to a heart centered one. what do you think?

I want very much to begin a discourse. I am calling it 99 monkeys in discourse because I am referencing the 100th monkey notion of the evolution of consciousness. I do not know how this blogging thing works so please hang in with me and feel free to make suggestions. I'm gonna try to put a link here so you can go read and then comment here on the 100th monkey notion. here we go......the_100th_monkey.docx
