misplaced mama

Nope.  No babe yet.  But I’d like to take the time to welcome Talia Grace into the world.  Her bas-ass beautiful mama birthed her into the world two days ago.  C and I have have been pregnant together from close to day one.  I take such joy in seeing a photo of her and her newborn girl, surrounded by bright blessings and all things magic.  My turn soon, just not yet….

While waiting to birth some life into being,  I thought I’d take the opportunity to link you to a website I’ve started writing for.  It’s something I’ve been meaning to do, but keep forgetting to tell ya’ll about. While driving in the ghettomobile up the coast and sleeping by the sea, I read the book 2012: The Return of  Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck. It’s the journey of a man seeking shamanism in all forms, from Rudolf Steiner to the sacred tea from the Auyausca leaf, from Mayan timekeepers to crop circles.  While the book questions new age theory, it explores our shifting consciousness as a collective, weaving the individual and the universal consciousness into one story.  I loved Pinchbeck’s mixture of voices, from questioning critical thinker to soul-driven, third-eye opened seeker.  He never once tried to give answers, yet as he seeks shamanic guidance on his own exploratory journey, he became a bit of muse to me, while I conjured up a whole new level of my own personal questions.  Not once did I feel l was being sold a dogma, I was just invited on one person’s wild ride. The core of the book is about opening up to the idea of a shifting consciousness on fast speed, leaving power-centered and material rooted world behind and melting into spiritual awareness and inevitable evolution. I read some more Pinchbeck (articles and such) and the more I read, the more I became intrigued.  Then I found out he created an on-line magazine, Reality Sandwich.  And then somehow I weaseled some words into his domain (stalked them).  It’s truly filled with interesting contributors including DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid (he’s one of my heroes, post-modern theorist, DJ and dub provider? If I wasn’t in love, I’d be in love.) Reality Sandwich’s theme is Evolving Consciousness, Bite by Bite. 

I think my first and short news piece is up, but i’m not sure though.  It’s called "Grow High" and it’s about the need for vertical sustainable farming in large urban centers (food farming. don’t let the title fool ya.)

Regardless, the site is good if you are into weaving stuff like consciousness shifting culture, shamanism, psyche and art.  Check it out.

Now back to sitting on my cozy nest,  keeping this little egg warm.  Some cramping.  Some serious spaced out moments where my husband may actually think I suffer from dementia.  As my spiritual midwife would have observed if she walked into my living room: Your baby has landed.  Oh, baby, I feel you.  And you feel so good, I fly a bit high from moment to moment.

Yes, baby has landed.  Now we just wait for sacred doorways to open, when baby says, Okay, enough of this super funky, juicy, internal plane of bliss and spirit, light matter and perfect flow, I now choose The Flesh. I’m supported and loved, and this world calls me to it’s other side.  I’m coming home, Mama.  Open up…and breath.
