Rambling 070608


My son left for an 11 day trip yesterday to Germany and Italy. He's spending time with his dad and siblings. He called around lunch time and told me that his luggage is lost. Everything will work out but my motherly instincts are on alert.

I've managed to relax today, thanks to Echart Tolle recordings. Echart is basically talking about how we define our identity based on problems and enemies, haha. We need our enemies to feel an identity or a sense of self. No matter how much we read or study we can't manage to get out of this sense of identity unless we let go and get in touch with our true inner self. It's kind of cool how I manage to get into a state of the now but the second I realize it I'm back to the judgmental ego state. Anyway I'm so grateful that I'm doing this mediation daily and it's starting to work. I feel a connection with a part of me that is wise and strong.

I've gotten some cool ideas in mediation which is great since I'm spending this week painting. I've been invited to participate in an art show in the States. The theme is something from the 70's painted on vinyl records. I haven't really painted since 2001, it's kind of strange to start again. I miss the free flowing creative energy and want it again. Designing websites is not the same as doing a painting. No one messes with the painting and it has no limits or restrictions ;-)
