I pulled into L.A. after a quick trip home to the Peigan Reservation for a ceremony. It was a beautiful time up there with the ‘family’ and I miss everyone already! Although this year was a tough one in many ways, it was also wonderful and extraordinary in so many ways. The more we learn the more there is to learn, and for every door we open, ten more open before us.

Personally I had some good releases thanks to a little help from my friends. I feel I’ve put some things down yet again and am a lighter happier human being for it.

One day, while I sat on a block of unsplit wood with tears streaming down my face one day I found myselI found myself reflecting on why. There was no why, only the physical release. No thoughts, no definitive emotions, just tears flowing out from deeply within my body. The body remembers everything and there are things we carry within us that we no longer think of or consider emotionally. But the body remembers.

I’m grateful to have found myself in those places of safety and security, I’m thankful to have found people capable of pulling my triggers. And I’m grateful to be a little bit lighter on the inside, of what, I may never exactly know.

The key going forward is to flow with this moving and extraordinary universe, to continue not to ‘hold on’ but instead to enjoy the ride. It’s hard being human, holding on is a natural tendency for all of us, but whether by chance, by choice, or at the end of our lives, we’re all going to have to let go eventually.
