gentle courage. be present and strong, kind and relentless. breathe and sit vigil. relax.

since I have had a time to write in here, soooooo many things have happened since I have:  the marches for our lives (Denver was amazing); good Friday when I saw, for the first time in my 55 yrs, a group of Christians marching down a sidewalk through town carrying a cross; Easter, arriving on April fools day and during a beautiful full moon; and a spontaneous trip to Crestone where I met a beautiful soul in the form of a wild deer who walked right up to me when I stopped beside it and its family on the side of a dirt road.

my favorite eye gazing in years. I said hi there and extended my arm. his tribe (see in back ground) seemed a bit more cautions but this one gazed in my eyes and walked right up and touched it's wet nose to the palm of my hand. spectacular. the feelings that rushed through me were indescribable. why I am so blessed I will never know but will be eternally grateful.

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 
ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight?utm_source=sms&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tedspread
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
