I had very wonderful news today. I had to see my oncologist today and have him review the CAT scan and blood work that I have every nine months. This is always a stressful time for anyone who has had and survived lung cancer. What made it even more stressful is this time it is also my four year anniversary since I became cancer free. Well like I started to say the news was very good and it showed no changes in the dead cancer mass that was left in my lung and spine.

I can put this behind me with ease but I know in nine months I will again be on pins and needles. I feel it is part of our mind and how it can knock us off our center. Most of the time I discount those random thought like "The Cancer Can Return" because I know if I entertain those thought they will cause unnecessary stress and suffering. Our minds are so good at convincing us of fantasies of good and bad. All of that pulls us away from our mindfulness and the experiences of life.

Anyway I can find joy in today’s news.

I have been working on the spring cleanup with all this great weather here in upstate NY so not to much time for my blog. Today I am going to spend the day in my wood shop. I didn’t think I would be asking for a rainy day but here I am. When I am in my woodshop some call it my studio, (if it were a studio it should have chairs and a place to have a cup of coffee) anyway in my shop I can find peace in my being. I feel we all can find the beauty of our souls when we are being creative. Creativity appeals to the mind because it allows the mind to go beyond ourselves. To tap into the universal consciousness for a brief moment and then try to unravel the message we received. To bring it back and use our talent to display it so others may see what we have accomplished or produced.

Your creativity can be anything that brings you joy and love. The all knowing light works from the center of unconditional love. So your creativity can be about math or statistics like Einstein, it could be about herbs and plants, maybe your creativity is centered on working with your hands and of course it could be music and art.

Just remember to allow your Spirit and mind/self to work together on your creativity so you may bring the light into manifestation. That will truly make your heart sing and provide a moment of centeredness. So out to the shop I go with a joyous heart and light, on a rainy day.

Here is the altar I am using my creativity on today.

Maybe if I bring out a cup of coffee I can call it a studio.

Spirit has been in hyper drive since I started my spring ritual of sugaring (see earlier blog). Especially about how important our experiences are.

We express our higher nature though our experiences, when at work, play, or whenever. Even more so when there is friction and our experiences are not what we want them to be. Those experiences are hidden gifts and a way to connect to your higher self. Think about how to handle those experiences in a loving and positive manner. The more you do this the more life becomes a higher skill and you begin to work more with Spirit instead of your self/mind.

Another way Spirit has been communicating these days is to make me pre live meeting people and places. It’s like a future vision with interaction between Spirit and me. I felt like I was being coached on what choices to make to bring about the higher good.

Well it is spring and I have just completed my spring ritual of maple sugaring. I love it because it gives me the opportunity to get out side after the long winters here in upstate NY. There is something special about a fire outside in the snow and the crisp morning air. With the geese are migrating back north and when the air temp is above the snow temp you get ground fog that makes it magical and mystical (no pun intended). Especially when the geese fly so low you can hear the vizz vizz sound of there wings beating the air as they appear out of the fog just at tree top and then disappear back into the fog. Yesterday was my last day of boiling and just as I pored off the last of the syrup, three geese broke off from their formation and swung around to fly over my head almost touching the pine tops in salute to a kindred spirit. It was a moment of mutual respect.

Welcome to my blog

I hope to use this to have interactive conversations on my web site. After all Dharma-Talks.com should have Dharma Talks. I can’t tell you how excited I am to have this up and going.  I have a lot I want to say and I hope this is a good way to chronicle what’s new in my life and what is going on with the ongoing integration of my Near Death Experience.

So let the talks begin.

Just let me start with the way I have this blog setup;

• All comments have to be approved by an administrator (that’s me). I did it this way so blog spam will not show up on the page. When we had a guest book it was abused so I do not want that to happen here. None of us want to read spam.
• No un-respectful comments will be posted. So keep criticism to a minimum. Constructive criticism is always good.
• I will allow a minimum amount of links as long as they are in line with the conversations. I do not want to seem dictatorial but I have seen bulletin boards get out of control.

I hope you will enjoy the entries and feel free to comment on what is happening.
