Good Morning Switzerland!
So there I was, 6am having lovely dreams of some other worlds, when ‘jamming’ starts playing in the background, and slowly but surely fading into the foreground, I realize, I am not in that wonderful astral space any longer, but am returning to a bed in Switzerland with my phone ringing next to me.
Next I know I am talking to some of the lovely people I left behind in LALAland, together in the little house celebrating, and so I had to get up, put my robe on, and be an early-monk this morning (the sun is just rising in that picture – please keep in mind the 9 hour time difference – am usually up 9am-3am Swiss time – see clock to the right).
One of the lovely news is that I received mail from the Department of Homeland Security confirming my Green Card status! Yeah! After 9 years of Visa crap… Only thing is that I might have to interrupt my sabbatical to go have fingerprints taken… hmmm….. fun 
Will keep you posted…
more art
Another piece of art – poetry this time – from my new friend here (who is appropriately nicknamed Jesus) – he says it was inspired by our conversations… This time I got to partake in helping with the English translation a bit:
Meditation
By Andrea Cometti (Jesus)Ask solitude
To teach you about silence
Ask silence
To tell you about suffering
Ask suffering
To show you how to observe
Ask yourself
To learn to live together
Ask yourself
To learn to share
Allow yourself
To be astonished
Know the inebriation
And the sensuality of life
Conscious and mindful of the experience of your limits.
art in Switzerland
it did not take long… it seems that I am just naturally attracted to artists. It took only a few days of being in Switzerland until I got to spend time with a lovely artist here, who has already given me my first piece of artwork… (the photo I took of it is not that great, but oh well)
Enjoy!
who are you?
This is an essay I wrote for my Master’s in Transformational Psychology at the UPRS. It examines the tangled hierarchy we consider ego consciousness.
arrival
arrived safely in a most lovely place… luggage got lost on the way, but got it two days later…
getting the DSL up and running and then it’s time to get going on projects…
ah the wine, the cheese, the bread… such simple pleasures
