just got back from a motorcycle ride to and from big sur.
a long ride on the way up (motorcycling at night in the cold, uh uh.), made it shorter and way more fun on the ride back.
so excited about riding these days.
one of the thousand things i love about it is that i can smell everything as i ride…
the trees, the damp leaves, the garlic from someone’s kitchen, the hot sand, the guts of the bug that splats on my visor…it’s a sense journey each time out.
just bought a ducati..will be ready in three weeks.
the growth curve has been steep and true.
the things that inspire me these days:
–nature, like never before…
–throwing parties
–the beach
–both-feet-in-ness
–spontaneous adventure
–funny people
–dancing at clubs with posse
–ekhart tolle
–meeting new people
–newness…on all levels..
–fiction
–being honest when it’s terrifying to be
–night time
–anything simple simple simple
–chivalry
nothing about my lifestyle seems recognizable these days, this seems to be a very good thing.
the ebbs and flows of rest and then expression…i’ve never allowed such a rhythm, i am starting to see how it works now.
used to be: express, then will more output, regardless of rhythm.
the thought of willing anything right now feels so counter-joy to me.
sign me up for things spawning from true and rested inspiration. nice.
my friend gave me a picnic basket for my birthday
i have wanted one my whole life
and i can’t wait to use it
it’s one of those fancy ones…
saw alexi murdoch the other night…joel shearer playing before him…what a gift that was to behold on both counts.
so grateful to so many people
my friends…for being such lights in my life
ekhart tolle, byron katie, alison armstrong….
for inspiring me to reframe what is it is to be human and female.
been loving receiving what you’ve written in response to some of the questions…
you inspire me.
love you,
connect soon,
