David Bowie’s Death Itself Was a Science Fiction Masterpiece

It was an exhilarating, fitting end for our first 100 percent science fictional human.

It is both a burden and a blessing, to feel everything as deeply as I do.

a snippet of today’s process

Love wins. Love wins in all ways and in all areas of life and it gives us all reason to live. Every action and every decision from the heart is vital to my journey toward equanimity. My soul may be uniquely mine but my existence is universal. My body is a temporary vessel for a existential journey of consciousness and purpose.

Here are some bits and pieces of the Bhagavad Gita where I’ve put myself in Krishna’s perspective as he guides Arjuna to understanding the path to self realization. I am both Arjuna and Krishna and they are both me. I am contained in everyone and everything and everyone and everything in contained in me.

I have nothing to grieve for any being as the Self, who dwells in this body is inviolable, forever.

I shall lift up my self by my Self and not sink into the selfish; for my self is the only friend of my Self, and its only foe.

The woman who sees herself in everything and everything within her will not be lost to herself nor will she ever be lost to anything or anyone.

I will practice yoga sincerely with single minded devotion; (for self and Self will be united) love yourself with perfect faith bring your whole self within.

Jan 1. Today we burned shit at yoga. Dissolution of fear by use of fire. You must walk through fire to rest in ashes (over and over). Be careful what you wish for.

Affirmation of Divinity

In 2016, I affirm my divinity by harnessing my personal power through graciousness, creativity, fearlessness, and flexibility. I am communicating creativity through my asana practice, my writing, and my language. I am participating in mindfulness, deliberation, meditation, and devotion to produce selfless action. I am living my life knowing that as long as I do everything with love in my heart, I am enough and I am doing enough. I am becoming more like a river and less like the dam that hinders it, for I have the power to make change. The universe sees us all and provides a velocity for me when I am devoted. When my heart is still, I am synonymous with light, with vibration, with water, and with fluidity.

I am fearless (because I am working from a place in my heart).

I am devoted (because my actions are offerings of worship).

I am capable (because I have faith).

I am accountable (but not attached to outcome).

I am enough (because I am everything).

I am a rainbow (because I am all the colors).

I am a garden (because I planted all the seeds).

One Art

The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.

—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident the art of losing’s not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Elizabeth Bishop “One Art” from The Complete Poems 1926-1979.

I’m sorry. I can’t help the way I am. I wish I could. It’d be easier sometimes to be someone else.
