Rainbow Abound; Sedona warms my Heart :)

My time at the Tree of Life was complete at the end of April, my mom arrived to escort me home with my brand new bike- cycle. Leaving a lifestyle extreme, serene, beautiful light and challenging, I yearned to explore more, this time East of St. Louis and Kentucky to Appalachia and the District of our Nations capital. Back home in time to staff a warrior's initiation weekend with my brother Troy, then a brief visit with family and friends and off to ATX (austin) on an old school bus to Nashville for Cosmic Clearance via Little Rock. The medicine moves me and Shpongle grooves me, I'm off to Knoxville, then Asheville with Rusty Elaine Stevie, skateboards, rock gyms and "Chesber" our pet frisbee. The ride starts at Earthave as I reunite like lost lovers with Ryan and Mandy, we meditate, connect, and share our joy over diner with friends. Tours and tantrums, the wheels turn beneath our feet as our legs burn and storms roll in. North on the Blue Ridge Parkway, we visit Turtle Island with Eustace Conway and friends, Boone for a warmshowers stay, then to Shanon Farms, Woodfolk House, Twin Oaks and Chrysalis. DC for the Weekend and after many celebrations, and goodbyes our paths split again, and I hopped a Craigslist Ride share back to Asheville then to Bonnoaroo where miracles took me backstage and great music did not stop. Out of cash with $6 in my front pocket and a flat tire, I limp into the Farm in a station wagon, just in time for an evening with David Rovic and Cindy Shehan, good people, and good music. Work work work, play play play, and the mary go round spins day after day. From the farm to Nashville and Rainbow outside Sante Fe, my first National! Super excited, with a world of dreams at my fingers tips a giant loving and dysfunctional family! "Lovin You Guys!" From council to aucoustic dance parties, midnight pizza, pancakes and everpresent coffee. It's always morning to someone, a forest that doesn't sleep, diner-drum circles, angel walks and Prayers for peace. Cold rain, mud fights, chocolate treats. Onward with Troy to Sedona town, we took the longest, most windy path we could find, but made it in perfect time.

An Earth Sky workshop with Drunvalo set the stage to dive right in, to our hearts that is. Of course I was scared and scarred, disbelieving and sceptical. But all in all, I made it through, my connection with spirit feels renewed and strong, vast and timeless. Sedona's power inspires me to write, hug and boogie. From here I'm not sure where? If you see me on the road pick me up, join this Rainbow Trail of Living Light, could be the most interesting ride you've ever known!
