Ah things are working! Two days ago I worked with a friend, helping with his beautiful handmade leather wallets. I really enjoyed it. He lives with his boyfriend Toshi, their home is full of natural sunlight, with two little birdies freely flying around. I really like them and hope to work there again soon.

Working with Leather and Screen Sprinting a big step up from sitting in an office answering emails about plastic furniture. I'm so glad I quit my job.

I get to form a relationship with the material, while learning skills and promoting something I agree with, It's a good feeling, I'm so lucky to be in this position at the moment. Thank you.

From there I went to Rachel and Louis's to play with my favorite Goddaughter. I was in the area and had to fulfill my weekly visit obligations.

I could dribble on for hours about how exciting it is that she recognizes faces and makes noises to communicate. How happy she is when she knows we're making noises back to her. How she's so curious and how lucky she is to have such amazing positive imaginative and beautiful parents/friends/tribesemembers. But I won't (cuz i just did). I will however write one Hopi bit of wisdom I read yesterday.

"It takes a whole village to raise a child"

Its so true. She's a member of the clan now. We all play an important part in her arranging of reality perspectives and wisdom. Everyone is a master, as she is a master to us..

So anyway we hung out and watched amazing youtube videos of Octopus Killing Sharks.. no wait SHARK KILLING OCTOPII!.

It's true. Watch it.



We watched other bits of film. This incredible sequence from the movie Hot Rod.



Louis made an incredible book about imagination and play. It is truly dauntingly magnificent, he is so talented with words, ideas, magic and imagination. It makes me speechless. Rachel too, she's making the most wonderul little boxes that fit into other boxes, they are gorgeous and .. symbolic. Also she's glowing! It's like Ripley has brought this new pure energy and the whole household is bristling in contentment and creativity. I feel like I'm visiting Uberhumans when I go over. It's a proud and humbling thing. Rachel and Louis really blow me away.

I could go on about my friends for hours as well.. I'm constantly amazed by the fact that the people I would have picked to have as best friends have also picked me as a best friend. That's a wonderful feeling, there's more to it than just meeting, or family, there's cosmic universal lineage involved, I'm quite sure..

That's why I wander at Ripley, at all the work that went into getingt her here, to such a perfect situation. She chose her parents, they chose her, she chose me, I chose her, we would not have chosen any other way, and we didn't know it till we had it. How that works is magic of the divine. Indeed.
