A long write up of the events taking place between March 30 to today. This is more for myself as a blog of sorts, and to take into an account of my experiences I am willing to share with those who are respectful, and clean in spirit.
I was Blessed with an extraordinary opportunity since the beginning of the summer. And really this all started on the 30th of March in the midst of personal experiences and growth. And now after upon reflection and where I am with all this, the realization of wishing nothing but love and growth for humanity is very apparent. Has been my roll for a long time for such thoughts, and yet the method of how to go about it has not been totally clear. Sure I have been sharing my creative and artistic talents for those who can see, and my yoga lifestyle teachings have been appreciated by some. (Remember during the Plan-Demic I was doing my FaceBook Live yoga sessions for a while. These Videos are still up of course.) And as for now, I will look to continue to bring what I have a natural ability to teach or show to my part of the world.
More on my new mission later.
I may have mentioned some of these details earlier. And this may be a long write up or a so called blog. and I like to write from time to time. I also understand not everyone is my fan or respects me as I have been open about my beliefs about so called mainstream topics that seems to go against what most would consider normal, or who has the time to read someone else's story in this "all about me generation", or the perceptions people have with their own respective lives where they are along their spiritual evolution. Having faith in humanity, and for my friends who are mostly far away these days in milage, yet close in spirit.
Anyway, Since March my life took a drastic turn, where upon I realized for the first time in my life I literally had no control as to how things would unfold. At least at first.
I wont go into these details too much now.. unless anyone wishes to ask.
Little by little during this time, I was able to collect myself and whittle out my path during this turbulent time. Was similar to what goes on under the water line of the oceans as currents and tides move about, and the sea life simply rolls with it. Lost in these currents and yet having faith, whether by instinct or by decisive trust in the universe.
Time was to move on from where I resided for 7 years, which was a godsend, as it did serve its purpose and I was extremely grateful for the opportunity to live in a cool, and well maintained building in the heart of San Pedro, Ca. Serving as a safe place to live, work, and take care of my daughter when it was my turn.
Granted not everyone was on my side, and some bitter childless women called child protective services upon me, stating I was doing hard drugs, and abusing my child, as they were packing and moving to New Mexico. The cowards. Obviously I was cleared of everything. I don't even smoke anything.
I created some large paintings, photoshoots, and and cool faux finish wall I used in my class videos, and other projects.
Alas it was time to leave, and the universe or God, presented the perfect opportunity for me. Being stuck in Las Vegas, Nevada for almost two and a half months will do that.. lol. The good part about all this, is it showed me how I can create a new reality with very little to my name, and start over. Dig deep, and go at it alone. And yet that is normal.
After gathering myself and making my moves, I was able to make it up to Utah, get a trailer, go back to San Pedro, and pack up. that itself was a taunting task. The drive both ways, the packing, the memories, and the experiences of these past 7 years. Eventually Having everything packed up, and headed off to my next destination... yet not without a flat tire from the trailer, and an allergic reaction from a cactus. lol.
Finally the good part. It was my turn to take Violet, my daughter for the summer, and we embarked upon a wonderful trip visiting 3 national parks, The Grand Tetons, Sequoia, and Yosemite, some hot springs in Idaho, and visiting grandpa, my brother and friends.
Arriving in Utah on the 4th of July, we were able to see an unfiltered fire work show in a small town. the Fire department was there to make sure the spectacular show was safe, and vibe of the people was generally positive. Stayed a week with Grandpa, helping with some reorganizing, and then left for the great trip across several states.
Lava Hot Springs in Idaho, is a small delight and perfect for an out of the way destination.
Wyoming and the Grand Tetons are exceptional, and its beauty can not be denied, even by the most hard of big city dwellers. We stayed in a small town east of the Tetons, called Dubois. Very small. There is a veterans, and a Vietnamese restaurant all in one called the V cafe. So it can be confusing if you go there expecting Vietnamese food walking in at first. But gives much respect to the vets of the nation.. Including the native people of the area.
At the same time, myself with my friend Penny we are working on a book, where I will be doing the illustrations, and I did post about this earlier. We went over the book on this trip from time to time. (I am still reading it now).
Spent a few days in Wyoming, out of cell phone range, and the quiet of it all is beautiful. I did not miss the internet lol. Jackson, Wyoming, however is kind-a like LA energetically speaking. Smaller obviously, and filled with touristy stuff. Fun for a moment, but can be a bit much for one seeking solitude. I was over it quickly. It is a wealthy persons play ground as they say there. I saw many fancy cabin mansions around, all with amazing views of the mountains. Gosh I love the mountains and the forests.
Heading back, we hit Lava once again, and then back to Grand pa's house for a few days to regroup, and heading out to Vegas for a few days as well, and then on to LA, Redondo Beach and San Pedro. Saw some friends, and did the Long beach Aquarium.
Sequoia and Yosemite next. Camped 3 nights in Sequoia. the stars were brilliant and beautiful. Did much in exploring with the truck, (which ran perfectly well, and got pretty good gas milage, and I did hit over 300K miles on this trip too. Pays off to take care of things), as well as hiking, or at least me hiking and her on my back to some water falls, and a pond where it was deep enough for some light cliff jumping. Water was a delight, so fresh and so clean clean...lol!
I tell you the Giant trees are amazing!! All I can say. The photos will not do them justice.. Go and meditate by them one day.
Yosemite is beyond clever and we only had a half day there.
My child was getting tired of the drive and wanted to go swimming as the pool was all she could talk about.. then then, we came out of the tunnel and boon, the valley of Yosemite was all omniscient in its power and presence.. and she could feel it. she was as amazed as I was. We both did a collective "wowwwww!" I got her some Binoculars, and we parked to take a look and photos.
We only had time to Visit one attraction, Bridelvail falls... Funny I thought Bridelvail falls was in Utah Valley in Provo Canyon.
Anyway we scampered up the rocks, went in the water and I spoke of this already in a previous posting.
she was amazed and loved every second of it. Quite the bonding experience for us, as we both learned from one another on how we were able to help, and trust each differently upon each other for the ascent. As safe as it was, being foolish can bring you pain. the warmth of the sun, and the cool mist was contrasting and gratifying at once. Plus the natural phenomena of the Rainbow light spectrum was ever present in our viewing of these beautiful falls.
after walking along near the village and seeing a deer up close, it was time to head home. And this part was for me... lol. My child fell asleep, and I decided to take the roads less traveled, the east side of the Sierra's. Sparse, dark, no traffic, and alone at least at night. I saw the stars once again, and was guided my study of the maps, as there is no internet out there, and nothing for hours. The geography gradually shifted from forest to coniferous trees, to high deserts on our way back to Vegas. Saw the sun rise, and some weird sights along the way, including a Clown Motel in Topanah, NV. haha.
Made it to Vegas in the morning and rested. The next days was the School orientation for the 1st grade. Amazing how life brings us experiences for growth and it never ends.
We met some wonderful people along the way, and learned much about nature, each other, as she grows, and the loving trusting bond between a father and daughter. It is vital in this day of age, where most men are shunned and attacked for being masculine and who they are naturally, and yet we don't care as nobody can really affect a man on his journey, his purpose, with his ability to maintain a spiritual connection to his path. The love is apparent for those who choose to "see". I live my life to the best I can each day, and some days are better then others.
Now onto redefining my businesses.
Will still maintain a presence in LA, doing my murals, signs, window arts and more. I will also be traveling with purpose much more now, and ironically enough, thanks to the internet and the ability to work remotely, and bring my creative endeavors to other parts of these lands.
As of now on a personal level, I wish to detach more of the madness that humanity seems to be going through at the moment. Tho it is not easy.. haha.. A lot has happened during the month of July and still continues. Habits are habits, and it is easy to rant lol.
More to come and it will be exciting to witness the unfolding.
Much love to one and all, and I wish humanity nothing but the best to wake up and move along to a more prosperous future, built on love and trust. I know that is a long shot for now, yet it is there, so close on the tip of all our collective fingers. Let us not be separated by the news, the government's and their agendas for divide and control through the mayhem of their chaotic creations upon this planet.
