I
took at pause, during my morning run at Nate' point which is on a bluff, just N of torrey pines.

On the beach a group of women were creating a beautiful sand sculpture of a

woman..

who was adorned with

conch shells, stones, driftwood, kelp, sea glass, energy flowing from the Sea, the sun,
this  breath

                                                                         she was loved.

there was such peace in the

moment,

this earth goddess

you could feel the healing energy moving within the

returntotheSea

When I circled back I approached  a woman from the group,

who shared  the healing sculpture was created in reverence of a beloved friend who

was a victim of a violent crime last week...

so I am saying some prayers tonight for our sister,

knowing she is loved by her friends and family,

flowing back into the Sea within the
             temple of our divine..

May we be safe from harm and violence

May we advocate for those who have lost their Voice

May we find peace in love

Hokusai says

Hokusai says look carefully.
He says pay attention, notice.
He says keep looking, stay curious.
He says there is no end to seeing

He says look forward to getting old.
He says keep changing,
you just get more who you really are.
He says get stuck, accept it, repeat
yourself as long as it is interesting.

He says keep doing what you love.

He says keep praying.

He says every one of us is a child,
every one of us is ancient
every one of us has a body.
He says every one of us is frightened.
He says every one of us has to find
a way to live with fear.

He says everything is alive --
shells, buildings, people, fish,
mountains, trees, wood is alive.
Water is alive.

Everything has its own life.

Everything lives inside us.

He says live with the world inside you.

He says it doesn't matter ifyou draw,
or write books. It doesn't matter
ifyou saw wood, or catch fish.
It doesn't matter if you sit at home
and stare at the ants on your veranda
or the shadows of the trees
and grasses in your garden.
It matters that you care.

It matters that you feel.

It matters that you notice.

It matters that life lives through you.

Contentment is life living through you.
Joy is life living through you.
Satisfaction and strength
is life living through you.

He says don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.

Love, feel, let life take you by the hand.

Let life live through you.
