peace, love and organic bliss everyone! it’s sunny and i’m in an om kinda mood…
wow, what a difference a day makes. so yesterday i was 
and today i’m 
and not even about anything in particular. actually, i should take that back because i think that nothing is actually everything and i’ve come to this conclusion just as a result of doing my om mantra.
yes, i’m a virgin om-ist. i’d heard it chanted by others, even shared it as an option for some meditation clients. but i never really gave it a fair shot as i had my other handy, dandy, reliable stash of mantras that i’d been using over the years and didn’t feel a need to end our wonderful relationship. but then, i heard about the power of this simple mantra and decided to give it a go.
anyway THANKS (yes, with sarcasm) cause now i’m strung out on the thing! nose is WIDE open! i’m addicted, perhaps in deep like, maybe love! hell, who am i fooling, this is pure, organic LUST! over the past couple weeks that mantra has seriously had me under its spell. i listen to it in my earphones ALL day while i work, during my yoga practice, and even made a cd of it and am thinking about playing it in the car! i fall asleep listening and chanting it at night. i hear it when i’m not listening. right now as i type i think i’m seeing A-U-M, or hearing it, or feeling, tasting, smelling, sensing it or something! is this a possession?!?!
now, as for the experience of this phenomenon i’m not doing what neo did in the matrix yet (yes i said YET cause i’m almost feeling like i can). but, what HAS happened is that i’ve come to a place of having the most profound satisfaction in nothingness.
perhaps its because i’m finally beginning to see that my work here is simply NOT about my work here. NO, it’s not about my being a yogi, or a vegan, or the most fabulous, jaw-dropping, brickhouse, superhot superhero you ever laid eyes on (sorry, i just had to throw that one in there to feed the ego – guess i still need to do some more oms). but no, its not about any of that stuff. it’s not about who i’m dating (unless he can get down with the get down of om ).
its not about what i’m cooking for dinner when the echo in my fridge is like the grand canyon cause i’ve been too busy chanting om that i haven’t gone to the store to pick up some much needed groceries so the kids won’t be hungrier than a pack of lions in a drought. But nope, none of this silly stuff matters.
nor do the mundane accomplishments or lack thereof mean a damn thing. nor is my work here about endless talking and chatter about what i wanna be when i grow up, or oh look at me see i’ve done this, this, and this and look at all that i’ve got to show for it. My work here isn’t even about making a busload of bff’s, homies, fans and other sorts just to prove my worth. NO.
my work here is the realization that none of this matters. its the realization that this life experience is simply a tool to be used in my ascension far beyond this existence. so with that realization, i’m in an om kinda mood today because FINALLY i see it! finally after a looooonnng (and i DO mean long! long, stubborn, needy, greedy, impatient, and ungrateful) walk through the fog i can actually see a formation appear….
an OM kinda formation…
uh oh… is that ME i see creating that…that… that planet!!! 
IF YOU FEEL SO INCLINED GIVE IT A TRY…. GO AHEAH… YOU KNOW YOU WANNA….. COME ON… YEP… THERE YOU GO…OPEN UP… OOOPEN UP… NOW SAY….A-U-M, A-U-M, A-U-M
