These tracks are an expression born from this sense of
groundlessness that I am sitting in. Its been 5 days since
the ritual at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center.
During the ritual I walked outside and experienced myself
merge with the natural world all around me. The experience
was more of a remembering then I can recall in my life, and
I have been in the midst of a very surreal experience. I
remember crying at the sight of a red sunset the following
day, and complete captivation by a bite of organic cottage
cheese as if it were a brand new experience.
Track 1 ~ Embracing
the mystery

I recognize with
the help of my teachers that this is an opportunity to step
into a whole new way of being, to begin the cultivation of
my heart as a warrior.
Track 2 ~ Tasting
something more real

The experience is
clearly my first taste of what I have been reading about
through Eckhart Tolle and Pema Chodrons work, and it has
come in a form that was not expected. My mind was blank for
the better part of 48 hours since my experience, and
everything that used to make sense stopped fitting together
in my awareness. I sit now with a completely blank slate,
compulsively trying to choose some direction or meaning
that will alleviate the occasional upwelling of discomfort
that I keep touching on.

the Sacred
