Little Miss Buddha (?)


I write a lot about my ideas, experiences, what I do----including my recreational activities.  A lot of people know I love to walk (and sometimes run), since many people spot me doing so.  Wherever I go, in all the places and neighborhoods I have lived at.... either I am the only one or at least one of the common sightings, walking and running about always at lengths.  I can swear I have never seen anyone else other than myself and my eldest sister seriously walking/running.  In all the places I've lived, whenever I bump into other walkers/runners, they're walking their dogs, walking out of leisure.... and I never ever see them again.   The only exemption would be when I was in California (2006 and 2008) and there were always health buffs everywhere.

I never go out and walk for only 30 minutes.  The only exemptions to that are: 1) losing my shoes, and having had to minimize going out for walks at all; 2) prioritizing my activities, ever since I decided to give up the corporate world and become my own boss.

I've quit being grumpy about not being able to go out for long walks and runs.  And I've actually learned the Lotus Flower----my latest addiction, since January or February.  I virtually look forward to each day just being able to sit quietly like this.

For those wondering:  Am I wanting to become an official wayshower by occupation?  A real full-pledge ascension guide one of these days?  Or perhaps a Yogi/Tai Chi teacher?  Or start charging for healing and divination?

The answer is a big NO.

Walking for good health, sunshine,
fresh air, and Vitamin D. 
Care to #WalkForACause??
IF these should ever be asked and presented to me by the divine, well.... as far back as I can tell, God never asks any of us anything that won't happen.  When God asks.... it is because it is about to happen or already happening, without our realizing it.

However, I do not really aspire for those.  There are already too many teachers and healers (among other reasons).  I am quite happy wayshowering in my own way.  My focus is really about empowering people to fully accept their innate abilities----and realize they can heal themselves, activate their skills themselves, and do just about everything I've been doing all by themselves.  Maybe they have to read or study.  Maybe I do provide ways to really help trigger those.  But the ultimate teacher and activator is the individual----because I and others can go around yackyackyacking all day about what is possible or how to do all of it.... but unless a person actually does it, nothing will ever happen or work.

I do what I do because it brings me joy and fulfillment.  I do what I do because of the inner force that bursts inside of me, with or without reason.

I don't do any of this, because of some hidden agenda or ultimate goal towards fame and more money.  Those are wonderful things to acquire.  Yes.  But it's not just the fame or the money.  But the energy of joy and fulfillment in them----both of which can be acquired in many different ways.  And that's the difference.

That is the difference between working out of survival and needs, in contrast to the spark of creation out of sheer possibilities, ability, wonder, and awe.  It brings fulfillment.... but what's interesting is that fulfillment is not something searched for desperately.  Fulfillment is there at the very beginning and throughout the process.  Love, joy, passion, creativity, idea, desire.... all of these are not accomplished as the result of having created or achieved something----instead, they have all been there; and not something gained or acquired. 

Yes, I recognize the requisites of physical existence.  But I don't aspire or do something because of the desperation to subsist.

The day you can sit like this even just for five seconds, and yet open your eyes with deep knowing, fully connected with yourself.... no one will ever have to explain anything in words for you.  You will stop searching for the words or for explanations.  You will walk through the earth, throbbing in oneness with your being, breathing a force of wholeness that neither asks or seeks.

Buddha in the making??  No.  I'm pretty fine being me.
