Hey look! It's Live Journal!

So, I'm in the middle of a 40 Day Practice. It's a combination of the formula I used for 365 Days to Enlightenment and Labyrinth walks. The energy pattern of a labyrinth walk is release - contemplation - receive.

So far, the themes have been:
1/20 MOTIVATION
1/21 COMPASSION
1/22 VOLUNTEERING
1/23 ESTIMABLE WORKS
1/24 SELF-ASSESSMENT
1/25 FLOW
1/26 SMALL MIRACLES
1/27 DISCIPLINE
1/28 UNDERSTANDING
1/29 THE MIRACLE OF LIFE
1/30 PERSEVERANCE
1/31 SEEKING THE DIVINE
2/1 UNBRIDLED JOY
2/2 WORKING CREATIVELY
2/3 WILLINGNESS
2/4 SURRENDER
2/5 SELF-KNOWLEDGE
2/6 TRUST

It's been kinda interesting. Spirit's been very loud about it. I'm not walking the labyrinth every day, but I'm trying to do the focused work every day regardless, and I have been seeking out new labyrinths to walk, which has been fun. A student is meeting me today for my walk, so I can't bail out. I really hope this one's indoors, since it's about to start raining again.

a skirt buys you a pat down at LAX. Had I known I would've worn a bra.

sitting in a cafe by famous musicians I can't place. they're not remotely fictional, you would think it would be easier. is it rude to ask?

will be driving in Boston. this may be a horrible idea.
