Work is Love Made Visible





These are the types of birthing images I was really looking for. (as opposed to the Brittany Spears statue posted earlier, tho I am glad I that one too.) Thank you to the friend who introduced me the artist's work today. The artist is Mara Friedman.
They are images of the first three chakras. Those areas of the body which are highly charged and in need of strengthening while relaxing, listening to while directing postively.


This weekend was filled with:
Beautiful weather
Trying to figure out a webcam.
Delicious Vietnamese food and new clothes for Christmas.
Feelings of helplessness and dissapointment that baby daddy couldn't find a working webcam in all of Arusha. (For an accurate description of Arusha, read Tait Davidson's blog who is living there for her third year Peace Corps volunteership.)
A lovely two hour massage from a lovely new friend in Huntington Beach.
Missing out on sailing under the clearest blue sky in Southern California's recent memory.
Driving home with an exquisite clear sky view of the snow capped San Gabriel mountains the whole way, growing larger and brighter as I neared home.

Today's horoscope in the Times (thanks mom!) read:
Money is attached to projects that are progressive and pioneering. Luck focuses on new friends, foreign correspondence and Internet journeys.

Is that so?

In any and every case, I raise my white fists to the rugged white mountains before me, and cry, from the depths of my muladhara chakra,
"TUPES!"

and plan for my next progressive project contribution, no commonplace thing, but one
which, to paraphrase Jack Keroac, will 'burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding' like stars within my solar plexus.

And because,

"Work is Love Made Visible."- Kahlil Gibran
