getting comfy and cozy in limbo

so the last time i blogged was in late january... wow.

and now it's june.

what happened between january and june? oh gosh. so much...

i think the reason why i find that a lot of things that are really important to me, in terms of what's happening and what i think and feel--well there are plenty of reasons why i can't just post everything. i guess that's what biographies and autobiographies are for.

and i'm really lucky to have batman in my life. not the comic book hero or the movie protagonist, of course. but i'll just use that nickname *to protect his identity.*

one of the things i've been working on lately is loving without attachment. i've been working on a few things, i think.. but yeah, that's definitely one of them. in some ways, it's just so damn hard. and i guess, in other ways, it's nothing.

you know that enlightenment analogy where... well. everything's all dark, and you're in this prison, trying to get out. so you struggle and struggle and finally dig a tunnel or something or pry the bars apart or climb out through the window way up high, and then of course you realize after you get out that the key to the lock was hanging around your neck the whole time. something like that.

anyway...

so i spent a little over a couple of months at a studio in las vegas, teaching classes, helping out, and so on.

and then... i disappeared for a week.

and then i came back to sedona.

i just spent the past week translating for DaeShinMyungJae.
oh, right-o--- and we had our tenth anniversary festival for the sedona mago retreat center, that was the same day that daeshinmyungjae actually started, but i didn't have to interpret for daeshinmyungjae until monday morning.

Seuseungnim's lecture on sunday was absolutely amazing!!! it was just really great.. i think about 300 people came, including the mayor of cottonwood.

anyway.. so the tenth anniversary festival was really great, and daeshinmyungjae was great, too. and it was just so nice to be in mago garden for the week.
i just got back yesterday.

as for getting comfy and cozy in limbo... i guess... some things are better left unsaid, at least for the time being.
