My dog ate my cellphone. Well, not the whole thing, just the parts that make it work. He's a one year old border collie named San Juan Diego - maybe you remember him from the April/May issue - the "puppy that set me free." He keeps setting me free from all of my worldly attachments. He's a crazy boy, but he looks at me with his little eyes and huge ears and he just radiates "please love me" and I can't help but still love him. I ordered another phone, and got insurance this time. If only everything in life were so simply!!!
Animals all over my life are acting up - well, not really I guess. They're just being animals, but inpinging on my world. We just noticed a hive outside our house, hanging from a tree. It's right over our driveway, and the bigger it gets, the lower it hangs. My husband almost walked right into it the other day. Someone is going to, so we're going to have to do something about it. I am committed to not harming any of the bees. It's not their fault they're in our way. I had never seen anything like it before, beyond images in books and TV. I just kept repeating, over and over, "it's so beautiful." See for yourself:
In other news, I just received a message from a construction worker in the Valley who read the Discovering Dalai Lama article and now wants to go see him and needs a ticket. I was so happy he called and to know the new and varied people who are reading the newspaper - not just the New Age crowd. I started Spirit to spread the possibilities to everyone, and think a lot about what I can do to get more people interested, especially those that a lot of people have written off. We recently sent copies to all of the prisons in Idaho. Anyone with an extra ticket for this guy, please let me know.
I'm interviewing Seane Corn today. What an amazing life!!!! Sometimes, I just can't believe it's true and that I really get to do this. I have to remind myself though, that it didn't just fall in my lap. I worked very hard, and took a lot of risks, and continue to do so today, gladlly. May we all have the courage to follow our hearts.
