Comment on In Praise of Hands by Caron McCloud

Of course, I love this poem, Shiloh, feeling as I do about hands.
I love it that the Hebrew alphabet is basically shaped by the little comma like Yod which has for its meaning ‘hand”, and is called the hand that talks.
The book “The Hand” by Frank R. Wilson has for its subtitle “How its use shapes the brain, language, and human culture.” Very interesting and miraculous! I love your hands!

Comment on Dismantling the American Dream by Corina

Ah…I am in month 7 of leaving the “American Dream” behind. I live in a small apartment in the “bush” in the West Indies, the island of Trinidad. No hot water in the sinks, no air conditioning, no screens on the windows. Everyday I wake up and clean up the lizard poop and see if the bats came in to eat my bananas on the counter. I spent 3 years having a “midwife crisis”- becoming a midwife after 20 years of working in a job I hated. Then I spend a year walking through the shadows of a bankrupcy, foreclosure, divorce after 25 years of marriage…and came here. I am so proud of being brave enough to come, after years of selling my soul to the “American Dream”. I may not have the American Dream anymore, and I don’t even know when/where/how I will return to the US, but I know that my soul is happier everyday than it has been in decades of doing the “American Dream Thing”

This concept of undoing the programming, of facing our fears and walking instead naked, and free onto the Aligned Path with fierce faith… When the American dream had my husband and I working so hard we never got to Live our creative potentials much les enjoy the ones we truly loved I reassessed. The false dram had me to close and peridoxically too far from my husband all at once. After months of ‘something has to give’, after sitting in the fire of my fears, after grieving the loss of a fairytale, and standing ready for the judgment that might insure by choosing a totally different path than most I totally reordered my life. I got ride of the Bay side home; got rid of ‘the man I love is always beside me’; got rid of a kitchen and laundry room while we began building our separate own micro cabins for each member of the family. Got rid of pride as I asked person after person for helpto achieve my new goals… And the kicked like mad with my head pointed towards new shores. What are my new shores? Daily peace and festive expression. Love that is open and spacious (where I am not mother and healer in huge doses. Only in homeopathic doses). And time with my daughter. Lots of it. And most importantly- a space of my own in my life. The journey across the waters of false dreams have been hard and at times hellish. In I I’ve found my deepest fears, my deepest grief, hopelessness and loneliness. I did not know I had wrapped up my wounds in these ideals and dreams. As I u wound the dream bandages I found I had intended wounds to nurture; neglected parts of self… I know my New Dream is just for now. A new New dream will call soon; will always be calling. And I will continue on this journey that is still In It’s infancy and see what it means in time to love free and fearless.

Wow Shiloh. I was just feeling this conversation stir up inside of me that I asked a question in the Red Thread Cafe over is COW. So much was answered here for me. I am learning to move towards JOY and focus less on security. Just last week I read this from Neale D. Walsch:…that safety is not the thing you should look for in the
future. Joy is what you should look for.

Security and joy may not come in the same package.
They can…but they also cannot.
There is no guarantee.

If your primary concern is a guarantee of security,
you may never experience the truest joys of life.
This is not a suggestion that you become reckless,
but it is an invitation to at least become daring.

Taking COW is about dreaming the new dream. Dreaming the dream of soul. Thank you. I am so amazed how much I am synced with all of this! I know that this is the dream. JOY JOY JOY!
