What do you love most about your work?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 02, 2007:

As a producer, I love collaborating with creative people. I appreciate how each invidual's talents and skills are integral part of making it happen. I appreciate their diversity and their insights and their problem solving abilities.

As a poet, I love expressing things that intangible. I love the release and energy from transforming an experience to a work of beauty. I enjoy the craft of wordsmithing.

As a performer, I love the adrenaline rush of being on the stage, and allowing myself be completely human in front a captive audience.

As a massage therapist, I love facilitating people's healing process. It is empowering to watch others empower themselves by embracing their own responsibility for their own healing.

As a volunteer, I love serving the community as whole. It reminds me how unified and interdependent we are. That if each person does his or her part we can make a difference.

If you could stop your aging indefinitely, would you?

No, I wouldn't because I would miss the lessons of being older. There is something to said about the "crone archetype." We have an ageist society. I would encourage a whole community where the young and old and the in between share their lives and experiences together. They can learn from one another. As a woman in her late 30s who looks like she's in her twenties, I am looking forward to the time I'm not judged by appearances. Many women envy that I look young for my age. But I rather they ask what brings me most joy in my life that brings radiance, vitality, and passion.

Beauty, Joy, Courage, Strength, Power, Grace, Faith, Patience, Compassion, Forgiveness, Love, Order, Harmony, Peace, Creation, Being, Universe, Mind, Body, Spirit, Form, Without Form, Cosmos...a child's hand...a baby's birth...a horse's gallop...a smile...tears from a life lesson...an epiphany...roar of tides...silence of a leaf...crickets in a meadow...cicadas...butterflies...geese in migration...laughter...cobalt blue sky...cirrus clouds...marshlands....alps...rivers...creeks...it's not enough to describe this and then some as "God." Many even argue about the word "God." There are many names for God...just are there many forms we can sense or feel. Multitudes. Ha! I just contradicted myself.

If you were given a year's worth of lessons, what would you learn

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 16, 2007:

I want to learn how to balance these opposing dualities in myself. How do I honor my need for security and domestic bliss with my need to take risks and adventure in a broader realm? How do I honor tradition and culture and accept my wanting to assimilate the new? How do I honor my spiritual self and understand my need to investigate and explore the underbelly of the workings of humanity? How do I serve and heal others yet attain status, achievement, accomplisment? How do I show humility and humbleness but can outshine and gain prosperity? How do I help others be prosperous when my checking account doesn't reflect my own prosperity?
