Nice Blog You have an inspiring outlook in life. Keep sharing....cheers !....P.S. Glad to have read this blog. It's definitely one of your best writings...made a mistake for not reading it before ;>
Into the Woods... I admire your insights. You reminded me of "Christopher McCandless", but you seemed to have more well-rounded idealism. Thanks for sharing your thoughts...just be careful not to get Lost in the Woods.... Cheers !
I love that you compare that you suggest that the practice of yoga itself spill seamlessly into a mindful selection of the "perfect" yoga retreat. That's what its all about right, taking yoga off the mat and bringing it into day to day light. I really appreciate this insight and your emphasis on honoring your own practice/path one breath at a time. Retreats are an excellent way to take time out for yourself: to rest, rejuvenate and delve deeper into or begin a yoga/spiritual practice. In my experience they are also an amazing opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, build community, experience culture and to vacation in a healthy and positive manner that leaves you feeling replenished and inspired on a number of levels.
Brain Yoga Iv been wanting to do yoga for months now, asking myself the same questions, what form of yoga would be best for me? Where in this world would be the best place to get such a great teaching?...and from whom? Bali now seems like a great idea, but I can not afford the trip listed. Iv emailed Laura to see what other options are available. I know my best friend from school days gave up his good job to become a yoga instructor his dream is now very alive, unfortunately for me he is all the way over in Canada www.openspaceyoga.com. He has never been happier. Fingers crossed something great comes my way. Thanks for the jog of inspiration.
Falling in Love The best thing in life that could happen to a person is fall in love. To fall in love is to gaze into the stars and dream the most wonderful dream. Your mind, body and soul drift into a universe where time stops and nothing else matters. Cosmic energy flows through your body energizing every fiber of your entire being. The feeling of excitement and elation makes your heart beats fast, your knees tremble and body moan in ecstasy. Your brain produces all sorts of chemicals flooding your senses, elevating your mind and soul in a state of trance. You feel exhilarated, sensual and at the same at peace.........
Love Overcomes ALL Obstacles! As I read Lover's Manifesto a few lines from The Moulin Rouge come to mind. "A life without love, that's terrible!.... The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and to be loved in return."
I'm a lover, and always have been, but my mind drifts back to a time when I set aside my romantic heart and lived vicariously through Hollywood's idealism. I've always been a sucker for Romeo and Juliet and Princess Bride type love affairs but as I matured in life and love something shifted and I suddenly found myself knee deep in the cynicism of Sex and The City. A while back I had a conversation with my housemate about falling in love. He, ten years my senior, mused about why it gets harder and harder to fall in love as we age. I remembered back to my first love and questioned momentarily if I could ever fall give my heart and soul with the same gusto and fearlessness as I did then. This was my turning point. I had a choice. I could live in fear of being disappointed and hurt by love and slowly let my heart close or I could live in love and open my heart to the world. "I life without love, that's terrible!" We all have a choice: to live from fear or to live from love. In the way we communicate, in the way we drive, in the way we prepare food for one another, in all the seemingly mundane things that fill our lives, we have a choice and our choices have ramifications. As you can see I am back to my idealistic self. Yet its not just me that beckons you to be present and positive, its the universe. With the popularity of the Hollywood movie, The Secret, the laws of attraction have been catapulted into the limelight of the general public. "What ever you think about you bring about" or "attitude of gratitude" are a few mottos to recall ever time you feel your heart waver in fear, doubt or negativity. You are a powerful human being, with an unending source or wisdom, creativity, health, abundance, love and compassion waiting to be discovered beneath the surface. I now fully embrace my dharma to give and receive all forms of love in each and every opportunity I get. And what's great is that the more I love the more I receive. The more I stop to appreciate the little gifts around me, the color of the sky, a child's laughter, the smell just after the rain or the sun's warmth on my face, the more I am filled with gratitude and love. Its the universe's energizer bunny - it just keeps going and going. You'll never run out of love if you see love in everything. That's why my lover and I have decided to make Valentine's Day everyday. Its fantastic to have a day like Valentine's to appreciate and revel in the very intimate and passionate love that the holiday touts, but what if that same quality of energy and support was magnified beyond this inner circle of family, friends and lovers? Start small and see what happens. I think you'll find that love overcomes all obstacles.....
Stoppin on thru Hey Cameron, Jonah here, thanks for the pure introspection - I love your openness in writing.
I'm hangin out in Westport, south island, Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm working back as a bike mechanic for the next three months before heading off into the early winter across the southern alps by bicycle. I'll stay in Otautahi/Christchurch for a month or so and help out at the Free Bike Workshop and then head up to Te whanganui-a-tara/Wellington for?

Have nice days
Traveler...a state of mind Cameron, each time you venture out into the world you are a traveler. Travel is a state of mind dependent on your ability to see each experience as an adventure into the unknown.
For example, when you go out to walk the sea of humanity called Pike's Market do you see Seattle or do you see the cornocopia of people, smells, goods, and experiences that come from around the world to gather in the stalls and open air spaces? Think of the stories to be told if each seller, each buyer, and each voyeur were to sit, coffee in hand to share their experiences.
I see the world each day as a fresh canvas waiting to reveal its image to me.
Peace unto you my co-traveler...
Pax Vobiscum

'Who are you?' said the Caterpillar...
'I-I hardly know, Sir, just at present- at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
'What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar, sternly. 'Explain yourself!'
'I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir,' said Alice, 'because I'm not myself, you see.'
-Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Listen to wise old Joseph-withers, dear Alice, the man called once Mr. Campbell. He spoke thus:
"You are that mystery which you are seeking to know"
