language for communication...

in one aspect of life, "silence is golden", and to borrow these lines from a song "you say it best when you say nothing at all…"

But we teach our young ones to speak, to read, and sometimes to communicate…

So I start to learn Spanish, again, with the Spanish teacher, a different one...and I ask myself why can I not invent a language, that no one has to learn, and i smile cos we all know the answer to this one, the language of love....the hardest to master….we all think we know it and speak it, but who gets it? I guess no one, hence, all the conflicts...

Back to Spanish. this is Latino culture, so the “words” of love are spoken generously, and i find myself repeating those, they stay...slowly conversations are happening, between the “no entiendo”, “repete por favor”, and of course “si”, when in doubt.

The other day in the buffet area, i was asked a question, i was not attentive hence, “si” was easier to say, the girls in the kitchen were looking at me expectantly, and seeing the nodding of the head, they all shouted, “no, si”....the guy was asking me to reaffirm that on first sight women check out a guys butt...when i said “eyes”...all the chicas gave me a “high five”...i guess people, generally men and women focus on different things, at different times…

is this a lesson in a language, or just a lesson...no se

Love is... no boundaries, no form…i am born


on this day...i am again reminded how life unfolds, each moment, always flowing into the next...

birthdays, milestones, do they take us away from the moment, or bring us deeper into the moment...

twenty two years ago this day dawned, changing the course of life, affecting and impacting so many lives....a beloved form, called a son, brother, father, husband, but most of all a friend, disappeared somewhere into the mountains of himalyas...everyone who met him felt he was their best friend...his purpose was done, so short lived? but then that is our desire, our attachment which wants to hold, to be near, to see and feel through all the senses, make infinite from the finite...

gratitude flows, my brother, my friend, who i last saw 22 years ago…left his form, on this day...

never forgotten, i love and miss you, even through tears, each tear turns into a smile…
when i see the love in the eyes of souls, your presence prevails in each moment....i hear you whistling “don’t worry be happy”...that was your message to the world…

the presence of truth and sincerity wrapped up in the big bow of friendship….this is your birthday present to me, Thank You, my friend…i share this gift, so you continue to live...

"zindagi kai geet kee dhun badel kur dekh leh"...

listening to the words of this old Indian song, I am reminded of times in our life when we keep playing the same tune, and wonder, ?why am i still doing the “same dance” of life…

"what if you change the notes/tune of the song of life”...is how I would translate the words...

“in the simplicity of nature, it is so much easier”, is the comment I often hear...

I chose to change the tune of my life song, or did i choose? maybe this is just a brief stop in the life path...where to? i know the universe is to guide me.

Often we mistake a checkpoint, or a pointer for the destination... no matter how brief, the destination and the path is not the same. Sometimes we get off the path, and maybe that is just a resting place, for a time.

So is life a journey, or are there many destinations. I would choose to believe that in this journey of life there are many brief stops, it is when we get a chance to rest our head…to explore, to love, to grow and on continue….

Sturgeon full moon in Aquarius...

in Costa Rica the full moon is at 10:58 am on August 13th…

"The August full moon is often called the Sturgeon Moon in North America. The Sturgeon Moon harks back to the bygone centuries when this large fish roamed plentifully in the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay. The August full moon is also known as the Green Corn Moon or the Grain Moon"
http://earthsky.org/tonight/august-full-moon-named-for-fish-or-grain


The August full moon is also referred to as the "wort" moon, preserve what you have…


the effects of the upcoming full moon is beginnings to reveal itself in the emotions and the associated behaviours…


astronomically the moon is full when it is directly opposite the sun


we plan to channel the energies by performing 108 sun salutations…what is the significance of 108?

Here are some interesting insights on the number 108:

  • diameter of the sun is 108 times the diameter of the earth
  • average distance from the sun to the earth is 108 times the diameter of the sun
  • average distance from the moon to the earth is 108 times the diameter of the moon
  • silver represents the moon, atomic weight of the moon is 108
  • 1 = higher truth, 0 = empty or complete, 8 = sign of infinity
  • 108 is the Harshad number (a number that can be divided by the sum of its digits)
  • in sanskrit Harshad means great joy
  • there are 108 energy lines converging into the heart chakra
