all praise is due... i bow my head to the Essence to Air Land Liquid Atmosphere Heat - ALLAH - that which we cannot live without, ALLAH, the sum total of all Life - trees, lakes, stones, bears, dolphins, bees, humans, space, saturn... You n You n You - the 1ness - all praise is due to/for You. thank You.
i embrace You as i enter this journey of shedding this prisoners suit, as the brahmcharya's of the krsna's taught me in mysore, as my immigrant parents who fled ancestry to come here, nyc, in the 70's, and delve in hope for our survival beyond third world, beyond the hopelessness of bangladesh, like vietnamese, hatians, dominicans, puerto ricans, fleeing the war of bombs and economics, like the underground railroad built by believers in freedom beyond whips and chains in the confederacy of 17th/18th/19th century america, like the hopi and shoshone retreating to yellowstone volcanic mountains to move beyond massacre by way of prostrating to the sky...all praise is due...homage to You...
today is day one of the fast. today is the new moon, as i've learned from trusted authorities, friends whose humility i trust more than any diplomas they may be without.
today, for the new moon, i will put forth intentions, on the bed on the Mother - central park, prospect park, riverside park, astoria park. somewhere where there is a patch of grass and trees, where secrets happen without the surveillance of skyscrapers and nightlife.
everyday this month i will blog on the fast, on the foods, on their interactions with my body, with my spirit and mind. as with the fast, i will begin a deeper stream of meditation, through my writings, medicine making, asanas, dhyna and pranayama, which whenever possible, i will do in community, with trees and people - co-conspirators in this process of shedding the prisoners uniform to become 1 with the 1.
please join me in whichever way you'd like, in this journey. lets build, get Higher, support each other, conspire to get Free...
