Reentry is a bitch!

Back from la la land into the real world. Boo hoo! Very tired and spacey from traveling, not sleeping and meditating. Was thinking on the plane how great I felt: calm, centered, expansive. The closer I got to NY I started gnawing my cuticles. Here we go again. How do u maintain and integrate. That's the real work! As I was getting my luggage a text came through from Joanie welcoming me home and asking me if I wanted to go the Spiritist Church in Old Greenwich. Its a nondenominational church with rotating pastors/speakers and mediums. At first I said I was too tired but then thought it might help bridge my otherworldly feeling with reality. Well we walk in the door and lo and behold there on the altar is the sign (a triangle) of the Casa. Then the harpist said she was going to play an original composition using the text from her favorite Buddhist poem. I had just written this poem/prayer down on paper last night and read it to Bob this morning! Cue Twilight Zone music.

Some funny stuff: when I got home and went into my bathroom Bob had put a sign up over the toilet paper roll: please flush paper down toilet. Do not through out in garbage. Hilarious! Spoke to both my kids: James' comment on my blog was that he wasn't sure if he was reading something I wrote or something from a Cheech and Chong movie (pot references). Told Willie that he received a spiritual blessing from the entity and not herbs because I didn't think either one of my kids could keep to the no alcohol, pot, chili peppers or pork products for 40 days. He said I made the right choice. Do u think it's because of no bacon?

On a serious note, this was the most wonderful, difficult, inspiring, eye opening thing I have ever done. I highly reccomend it but it is not for everyone. It's hard work but so rewarding. I wish I had known about the Casa years ago so I could've taken my stepdaughter Tracy when she was sick. Karma. A lot comes up when we are contemplative for so long and it presses a lot of buttons. Confronting your issues and moving on is the growth/healing we all seek and at the Casa it's done in lightning speed! I told Heather I feel I've grown tenfold in 2 weeks and she said I have.

Thanks to all of u my lovely family, friends, students and fellow soul searchers for accompanying me. I could not have done it without knowing u were out there! Thanks to the beautiful Heather for her guidance, wisdom and belief in me. Thank u to medium Joao (what a guy!!!!!) and of course the entities of light. I know ur out there and I'm working as much and as fast as I can.
