Hello,
I have been in a nice flow here in Ubud. Been very busy the last two weeks
working on designs and business, coming back too exausted to e-mail. I also
organized a fire show on Friday for full moon at a newly opened place called
Coffee and Silver on the bottom of monkey forest road. It went ok, the event
was not very well organized and my body has been going through some healing so
I have not felt as with it as normal. The next day, Saturday, I got together
with Leonid a master healer and we did some serious cranial sacral healing work on my neck, back and right
shoulder. My neck and spine have some pretty intense compression damage from hitting my head in the swimming pool.
Leonid helped diognose and then really worked through some energetic layers.
Since the healing I have felt much better. That night Jill, my accentric creative landlord, and I hosted a
large full-moon party that really went off. It was an interesting mix of Jill
and I's friends. We set up a cocktail bar on the deck by the swimming pool
with turntables and a sound system. I set up a supper Shanti space in the
bottom of the tower where we had an epic music dance jam. It was interesting to
see how only people who were really foccused and creative could handle being in
the intense energy of the tower, i wish you could see this building, it is amazing. I have some real power pieces that I had bought in Tampak Sereen that
really held the sacred space. At the peak of the night we all went to the back
yard and spun fire with a great drumming ensemble. I had a great release under
the devine light of the full moon. My neck and back is feeling much better and
is improving each day. Sunday I went to this amazing bird zoo/park where I
fell in love with this amazing parot whom I hung out with for an hour. At one
point I had two Macha's, an exotic type of stork, and two other types of parots
on me all at once. I really wish I had brought a camera.
Sasha Butterfly whom is true ray of light, left
this last week. We had a very nice friendship connection before she left. One
night after a day of super intense business shopping, I went by this healer woman's place. After a delicious dinner, the healer and her
two assistance gave me the royal herbal rub down massage while Sasha sang heart
songs. Having 4 amazing Goddesses nurture me at once was really healing.
I have been keeping myself super busy so that I
don't have time to miss my friends and family. I have been thinking about Jemini quite a bit, with no real
clarity yet. It is something that cannot be rushed and will open up as my
spiritual developement grows. Everyday I am learning more and more on how to
take the spiritual wisdom that I have been blessed with and how to apply that
knowledge into the pressent, application. I have been making some wonderfull
friendships with both men and women, not looking to 'hook up' has allowed for
some really nice friendships to develope. I am helping finance my friend
Justine's(who is extended family of Wild Fire) environmental, education project
teaching young Balinese to turn beer bottles and other glass into beautifull
functional art instalations like tiles and decorative table tops. I have only given her a couple hundred dollars in exchange for some really cool glass projects she will send me. She also is a highly responsible persom whom can act as my Bali rep while I am in the states. If I get a big order for one of the new products she can recieve funds, make orders and facilitate shipments. I am havingher make me a special pyramid with 5 pyramids inside each rotated 30 degree's
to form an intricate merkaba within. Leonid has one, that really inspired me.
I have been enjoying having the tower all to myself, Jill dropped the price to
$350 per month to help. It has allowed me to really stay foccused on the
projects that I am working on. I am realizing that I don't want to get too
envolved with importing, my best asset is my fire dancing, I am really enjoying
the creative process of coming up with design's, I have an infinite supply of
awesome idea's that could be very successfull. The shoe's have been a good
teacher in how to refine a design, getting just right. I look foreward to
showing you them. Also I had silver and
gold dragons put on my fire staff's, and am having a couple more carved from
wood. Having some new designs made for tribal earing's that will take it to
the next level. :) I feel like I am learning so much about how to be a good designer, in alot of ways this is my next level of education and i feel will help create some freeedome in the future. I am staying in Bali till May 10th to take care
of shipping as some order's may run late, plus I bought some intricately carved
mamoth ivory that may be dificult to ship, it would be pretty cryptically funny
if I got arrested when I got back in the states for importing illegal ivory. I
am getting paperwork on all the carving's declaring it to be what its suposed to
be, mamoth. It is definately a interesting process. I am getting pretty home sick, though I still have quite a bit to do before I return, hoping to come home earlier than planned, we will see.
The other night there was a special event in Ubud, several thousand people from surrounding towns came for this ritualistic death ceremony. It was a time for people choose between white magic and black magic. Very interesting seeing this process though I did not full understand the details. At around 1;00 am everyone headed out to the local cemetary for more rituals. On my way there I came accross around 156 balinese on the road gathered around a 4 meter long Boa Snake who's head had just been run over, it was rything around in the middle of the road, mortally wounded. I was greatly saddened, wanting to help ease this beautifull creature suffering, I picked it up and carried it off the road, where I prayed for its spirit to release into the loving embrace of the afterlife. I then rapped it in my raincoat and took it home. Once home I smudged it with incense and prayers, and began the arjuous process of gutting it. It's amazing, even with its head completely smashed it was still allive, I found it's heart still beating with power. I cutt out its heart, feeling its last two beats in my mouth, I ate it raw, calling in this creatures amazing strength, letting it know that it's wisdom and life force was going to continue, through me. I needed its strength, for I worked intensly all night treating this amazing creatures beautifull skin. So much work. My cooler is full of the delicious though tough meat, it's unique sweet flavor is like a cross between abilone and chicken. Quite an interesting adventure, how many people get to eat a large Boa?
I love you
