Here is one of our YOUTUBE videos... more to come.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1mIH51qxfE
We had a small job to do along the coast so we decided to camp on the way down there. On the way down I thought about the Jung book I had only read a paragraph in but that paragraph I was having many synchs with especially about symbols and about the idea of disease in the body as a separated thought vs harmony. Pam and I talked about Jung’s idea of illness related to the two sides fighting like dems and Gops in the body, or husband and wife. We likened the mutual intent of the two opposites as the middle way of the middle tree or cross that we found was fallen in this pic. That the feeds in life feed the opposites but the Spirit is so both will be fulfilled. So I like what Jung says about these two opposites being out of harmony causes illness.
Pam just came into the room as I am writing this and Burt Wolf just said.

St. Francis quote on tv right now. “The word synergy also on tv in a wine and food show”
After the Job we always try to find a fresh new place that the synchs can talk to us. The last time we traveled along hwy one I felt there was a new place along where we found this new park. When we found this little parking lot we knew it was what we had felt before.
For me, it is my moments walking as I did living alone for years that I have the memory of what it means to be me.
I thought about creating fresh water or desalinization on the way down and Harmony headlands had the answer to that also. I was thinking about how to use the waves to create the energy of desalinization and pictured steam made by pressure that is accelerated at a curve. But when we got to the State Park the answer was right there. The path was warm and sunny up until You get close to the coast then it changed immediately to fog drifting over the hills. I noticed that the fog did not form to the north where there was not hills as there was no updraft from the cool air hitting the hills. I pictured a 300 foot tall structure that funneled the fog to a Venetian structure that absorbed the water vapor like the trees along the coast do.
Once while walking I turned around and Pam was not there so I went back to find her. Just before getting to her I saw a rabbit in the path.
Then when I found her she had gotten into thoughts about the feathers she found from a bird that had been killed on the path. She had picked up a eucalyptus leaf to burn in the car for harmony.

synchz!
Fresh eucalyptis limbs were added to the foyer last week. One small sprig was placed in a bowl of water waiting for spirit to conduct the other things for a pot of herbal/spice brew to keep away allergies and flu variations.
Refreshed and nurtured an abandoned rabbit who was out of sorts when he finally had a resopnsible person find him. Got a scratch on my arm from the rabbit, like a scratch on the tree where the wild things were. Rabbit was almost a wild thing, but became tame to compassion.
Stared at many trees changing which seemed to be nestled amongst others more protective in nature. Change becomes necessary for balance.

Did you know you can actually make music with a gum leaf...lol. We use to practise as kids in the playground at school but i was never as good as this bloke, playing john lennon's "imagine"....
I also found this while looking for gum leaf players...from tasmania... the dance is based on Judith Wrights poem "Gum Trees Stripping" and Hildegard von Bingen, the twelfth century female composer and visionary as inspiration.
Gum-Trees Stripping
by Judith Wright
Say the need’s born within the tree,
and waits a trigger set for light;
say sap is tidal like the sea
and rises with the solstice-heat –
but wisdom shells the words away
to watch this fountain slowed in air
where sun joins earth – to watch the place
at which these silent rituals are.
Words are not meanings for a tree.
So it is truer not to say
“These rags look like humility,
or this year’s wreck of last year’s love,
or wounds ripped by the summer’s claw.”
If it is possible to be wise
here, wisdom lies outside the word
in the earlier answer of the eyes.
Wisdom can see the red, the rose,
the stained and sculptured curve of grey,
the charcoal scars of fire, and see
around the living tower of tree
the hermit tatters of old bark
split down and strip to end the season;
and can be quiet and not look
for reasons pas the edge of reason.
| Quote: | Not everyone pauses by the common things we see. Occasionally, however, through the eyes of
others, we catch glimpses of something more. It is as if they have stepped, however fleetingly, into
another world. Some of these people share their vision with us. Judith Wright, in her poem Gum-Trees Stripping, writes that
… wisdom lies outside the word
in the earlier answer of the eyes....
The setting of the poem is familiar in Australia. In the heat of early summer the old bark on the gumtrees splits, often with a loud rending c-r-a-c-k, and falls in
shards. It hangs untidy useless, from
intervening branches, or lies, a fallen mantle, beneath the trees.
The season is fragrant with aromatic
eucalyptus oils, made potent by the heat.
Before the bark splits, the heat triggers the
sap to rise like a great seasonal tide:
....say sap is tidal like the sea
and rises with the solstice heart....
Or, taking up another image of water, the tree is a
…fountain slowed in air
where sun joins earth…
What a splendid visual image – the tree as a fountain of living water joining the transcendent sun to the solid earth.
Judith Wright sees e beauty of the tree in the colours of the new bark revealed by the shedding of the old:
...the red, the rose,
the stained and sculptured curve of grey…
Contemplation yields a wisdom beyond words. When the protective covering of the old bark is stripped away, the new bark is already there. The stripped tree is not left
vulnerable, unprotected. But the tree is not unblemished.
The new bark also reveals the charcoal scars of fire. Fire which burns, ravages, destroys, and is also essential for
the germination of new life. The tree bears the imprint of death and resurrection.
....These rags look like humility
or this year’s wrick of last year’s love,
or wounds ripped by the summer’s claw....
But wisdom can see
……and can be quiet and not look
for reasons pas the edge of reason. |

Great poetry, this year we heard many cracks because the branches and even trees breaking from the storm.
| Quote: | wisdom lies outside the word

The years of learning from synchs were to see the hesitation that was in words. For the truer image was in the moment of seeing it.
Brock, great idea with the ritual to keep harmony, that keeps out such hesitations. For me the word flu was powerful so that when heard it could trigger the fear and event, so like the word cop that was transmuted to Cute People I want to transmute the meaning away from it's original meaning so when You hear on tv money trying to get You to hear the problem, I can hear For the Love of YOU (FLU).
I woke up dreaming about the young fellow we met on the trail yesterday. He was from Ohio and had come to California 8 months prior with a plan. He bought a car in LA drove up to where we live to get a job in a winery. Now he was writing the whole story in his journal as I walked up to him. It turned out that he had watched "Where the wild things are" the night before also. I love synchs like that where we meet folks that are at the same point as we.
The next young man we met on the trail was sitting among the reeds waiting for an action like a frog or a bird so he could capture it with his camera. This is also the energy of the Australian poem. Will probably have synchs about these all day. Thanks for posting.
Note: I cannot play a leaf like that without it causing a extreme tickling in my lip as I had surgery there when I had my accident at 17. |
