mostly quiet. peaceful. honoring all life forms, not seeking to control or achieve anything. simply being myself, listening to an inner voice to guide my days. question how come we think the way we do? where do these beLIEfs come from? do they truly resonate within ourselves? how to disentangle confused or damaging belief patterns? how to free ourselves from conditioned belief systems?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to connect with others in genuine, authentic ways. to shed programs and beliefs, and be able to be fully present to each other {to the indwelling Spirit}, to this moment, and all the magic and spontaneity and depth that accompanies the same.

also, i do not have a home. i stay places until it is time for me to go, and then i go silently and easily when the time comes. sometimes i stay outside, on the earth, and often prefer when i do. more clarity comes when i do. also, i feel more at home in nature, and close to animals and plants. it is actually really important for me to connect with animals regularly. i cherish occasions that arise to connect with animal family.

grateful for this community. grateful for those who would open their yards or their homes to those who that have not yet met, welcoming them with open arms, trusting and generous. it is such a gift on both ends.

ThE GuEsT HoUsE ~ Rumi

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

{Jelaluddin Rumi, translation by Coleman Barks}
