'the hidden gift of this day is Overtone Dog guided by the Mirror... The power of love that reflects the endless order of the harmonic magic... when all is surrendered and there is no attachment, how the bridge to joy is crossed by empowering our connections with others... Devotion to truth... to being a clear mirror from the heart."
that was the message that vasumi had sent out this morning, when i read it i knew it was true. i had just returned from an experience which was the exact epitome of what she had written (see previous entry "sugik") and now i was off to do a sick call to a woman i had met last time i was in bali and that had just had an operation. the thought had suddenly come to me that i have nothing i have to do in life, so i can go over and visit and see if i can help in any way.
i walked along the beach to her place and arrived 90 minutes later, after enjoying the sites and sounds along the way. it was so nice to see her again, and we sat and spoke about all kinds of things. and then out of the blue she said "would you like to teach english to my massagist and in return receive a massage everyday?" (always say "yes") "Yes!!" i was in shock. and again, said thank you to god immediately. how in the world did i deserve this?? i love massages, and together with that, i have come to bali and am living in paradise and have everything i need and want, but no "extras"....and "extras" are nice...they give a luxurious sense of abundance in life.
so here i was being offered something in a barter that is and "extra", just like drinking coconut water everyday for good health, and a glass of fresh papaya or pineapple juice (which is not "included" with my meals and would total some $300 more on my bill at the end of my stay, so i chose not to do that. and massages...the same....and since water is fine for me, and my body feels good and nothing aches and i massage myself with coconut oil everyday after my shower i let go of "extras" and am grateful for what i have.
and no matter what happens, i try and see that it is another lesson from god that is only bringing me closer to where i need to get to and that all there is is love, and to keep choosing it even if something else is yelling "but i don't like it, it's not fair, why me, how dare she"....
