There seems to be a collective feeling of instability. Tuesday Night Post have always been about instilling stability to my practice. Or at least giving myself a day to reflect on the practice…if it even for a moment of stillness.
I find my freedom in my practice. Even tho at times that work is hard to get to and sometimes the last thing on my mind.
Last Tuesday I played some Dr. Martin Luther King Jr speeches on the Tuesday Stream. These are some I have in my collection that you can’t upload since they are under copyright. Dr. King was a big influence on my life. Hearing these speeches tell me how elevated in thought Dr. King was. Including his esoteric understandings. Talking about Dr. King’s non violent approach as an example of how one should handle a particular situation glosses over the violent way Dr. King was taken from us. Assassinated with not much protest from officials. Such delicate times offer a opportunity to be sensitive, calm, and alert…How can these things co-exist? Can they? I like to imagine this is what its like for our kins of a different form, a wolf in its prime., a sloth navigating tall trees, a deer running in the woods. Connection on the one to one. No delay but no hast. I truly wonder.
It is hard during these times of intensity to go to the practice…or in my case further into the practice. Only there do I find myself. A self of service to life experience. Hopefully if honest a service to my fellow home, my land, my peoples and my neighbors. But of course with a very much Me flavor. Can that be avoided? Is it a foolish goal to think what I do is anything else then just what I do. In any case it provides a peek into something greater something I myself feel and can not see. The whole experience of what is happening, phenomenon.
This Tuesday June 09 2020 7pm pst will feature Suzy Hernandez and possibly a semi live collaboration.
