Thank you all for your wonderful messages of support.
I am humbled by the caring of all of you.
Being a major player in the support of all you Nia teachers although from my heart I never really expected that I would be in a reverse position. Well here I am and I am blessed. Your emails keep coming along with visists to this blog and my, myspace page www.myspace.com/stuartmusicart there have been close to 50 listens of my song in 24 hours~!~
So today the packing begins. What to take? I will be taking a guitar and gear to record, my camera gear, and my business tools.
But clothes were to begin. I will need to create a packing list to be sure I do not leave out any essentials.
I also need to accomplish some around the house projects before I leave I don't want Debbie to have to think about the house at all she has enough to think about. And I need to spend about eight hours preparing my recording project, and then there are friends to visit before I go.
I spent a wonderful evening with my good friend Donald last night.
We sat in his backyard around a fire with a great meal and focused intent of celebrating the new moon with letting go and manifesting a path into the future.
Donald is an artist of many forms one of his art forms is his body casting. Donald cast my Left Hand for me. This is significant to me in that I feel that in celebration and in support of the fantastic and positive changes we are experiencing in the world we should all begin to greet people by offering our left hand as opposed to our right hand.
Did you know that the shaking with the right hand is a tradition that dates back many thousands of years. The idea was that
one would extend his weapon hand to show that he came in peace and would not bear arms.
I think it is time that we let go of this ancient tradition of proving that "I will not kill you" and instead extend our left hand the hand that connects to our feminine side and to the heart center. I want to tell the world "I Love You" how about you.
And now my intentions are forever cast in plaster~!~ Thank you Donald.

Grief, isolation, confusion, lonliness and insecurity are not my friends, but they have been some of my greatest teachers. For starters, I have learned that death is the engine of life, not unlike I've witnessed in the life of a butterfly. Did you know that it undergoes a complete physical death? The transformation takes place with activity first occuring in its mind. (The butterfly gives me great hope.)
I don't think that death is to be feared, but embraced in the context of time. It is not just an absence of life, but a point in time at which something ends - often so that something else may begin. It is not confined to the physical realm and may occur in many forms and on many levels emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It seems that a characteristic of death is that it is a catalyst to change the state of one thing and release it into a new way of being.
In the body and in life, there is first a process of tearing down that must occur in order for a system to reorganize and rebuild. It can be quite painful. I have learned that pain and suffering have served a profound purpose in my life. To me they brought the gifts of faith, contrast, clarity and depth of feeling. I also learned that if I dwell too long or harbor and nurture fear, resentment and grief, I could potentially lose everything... including my sense of who I am and my sense of purpose and my path.
The messages that came to me at several critical points over the past few years were first, a lesson in the refinement of silver based on Malachi 3:3 (I'll share it with you later.) and 2 Tim 1:7: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." Sometimes I needed to be reminded that I wasn't losing my mind. I would often meditate on these words and they would bring me back to center.
Nobody who pushes boundaries avoids pitfalls, Jeff. Trust that it is all part of your process and that you will emerge with greater understanding and renewed energy.
Faith is a belief in things unseen. Keep the faith and watch how Love carries you through this season of transition in your life. Believe that all things work together for good in time and then trust, let go of control, forgive, heal and grow.
In Light & Aloha
