Check out NaNoWritMo!!!
hey folks, November is National Novel Writing Month. Check out NaNoWritMo. It's a website that encourages people to just keep writing everyday for the month of November. is there a book that you have always wanted to write, or do you want to just show up everyday and see where the adventure unfolds.
There is no editing, thinking too much, or even re reading your work. Keep the judgement out of it, as you allow yourself a brain drain every day for the month. The goal is 50,000 words by the end (aprox 1,500 to 1,700 words a day) That's about 3 or 4 pages depending on how you set up your fonts.
join in! Writing begins Nov 1. Even if you think you can't do it, do it anyway!!!
happy writing,
Chris

Complete and Whole
Today is the new moon. A calm settles upon me because I take a moment to remember. I hear a sound in the distance, like music, strange, but it sounds like a Native American flute. I don’t know exactly how that sound is happening in New York at this moment, but I am grateful for it.
I remember that music as I read Tarot at Altar Egos on Housten Street. Or in the wellness massage room at the New York Open Center. I hear myself and Holly trying out flutes at Marions after a sweat lodge. I think of the hot stones glowing in the lodge, and of pipe ceremony.
I am whole.
I call to the elements again. I’ve been making it a daily practice now since the spring. The vibration is getting stronger, deeper. Like a yoga practice, when after sometime, I can make friends with a pose. It’s always been there, I just feel it deeper.
I am complete.
I take a moment to remember the spirits that guide me, and the ancestors who have gone before me, and even my own soul; that light that people sometimes call Buddha consciousness.
I am whole.
I remember my initiation. I remember the path that I am on, and the gifts that I have.
I am complete.
Funny how easily I can forget these things in the crush of a subway, on a job where people are acting as if it’s reality TV, with a friend that is drinking too much, or a lover who is cooling off and rejecting me.
Yet, all it takes is a moment to connect to who I truly am, and nothing else matters.
