home
“Home is where the heart is” they say… Well, if that is indeed the case, my home is all over the place 
I just returned to Los Angeles to the littlehouse a bit over a week ago after the 8 week gig in Europe which was all about learning how to be centered wherever, in airports, hotels, different countries, and all about being home in myself). My head is still spinning a bit as the transformation that occurs with traveling is still settling. Most of all, I enjoyed the amazing diversity this planet has to offer (so sad that people seem to have issues with that and consider it a reason to blow each other up, whether with smart boms or bombs in backpacks). Images from the different countries I visited are still coming up in my head, some of the delicious food I got to eat, the different styles of buildings, and most of all the people. A dear friend of mine once said that you haven’t traveled if you haven’t made a friend. Well, I guess I did travel in that case. I met some lovely people all over Europe and some of them, I know, will be in my life for a while. I look forward to how that will unfold.
A whole lot of new projects came up while I was in Europe and I am eager to get working on these, but for now I need to focus on the tasks at hand…
My computer just died on me, which means that apart from the project work I did in Europe, I lost all of my data from the last two months. Lovely when that happens, liberating in a way…
Apart from that, it’s all about finishing up what I had started (the Six Sigma for Your Life project went quite well, and is now ready for revision). Then it’s on to two conferences that are coming up: one is organized by the Institute for Global Transformation, and features a variety of organizations dedicated to service, ranging from Boeing to Waldorf Schools, to Course in Miracles, and of course the Center for Conscious Creativity. Then, there is the Writers Conference this fall, which should be quite exciting with organizations like the Noetics Institute, the Philosophical Research Society, transformative and consciousness based authors and on the other hand presentations on writing for new technologies like podcasting, DVDs, or gaming.
Lots of good stuff coming up… For now, I am going to be treating myself to a PoetrySoup party and there is some good music and art coming up. Dean Chamberlain, Alex Grey and some others have a show coming up, which I look very much forward to. Apart from that, it’s all about continuing to plug away and keep living life as art
