Keesoon was so wonderful to be with. i can feel his soul is resting in
peace and free of a failing body. i just cleared the cat stuff out of
my apartment to help me adjust to the new reality. thankful i have many
projects to work on while i grieve...blessings to anyone going through
grief and loss right now.
Soul set free- Wow more magical
synchronicity... I was just watching a video and there was a triple
conjunction astrologically speaking on August 8th and they're calling it
The lions gate... is some kind of pattern and the eight means Infinity
and my cat keesoon that we helped transition looks like a lion and he
had kind of a lion energy about him in a beautiful way and the astrology
lady was talking about the lions gate being a tarot card of a woman
interacting with a lion and something about Infinity... it's just kind
of fascinating to me and then august 8th was also national cat Day or
something!! it just seems like a very cosmic day to say goodbye to my
cat even though I'm really sad about it he was needing to transition
because of his health not being there anymore and it's a long story but
it feels like it was totally meant to be the way it happened... and the
people that helped me... it's too hard to explain but it's just this
really powerful feeling that everything was meant to be the way it
happened even though I'm really really in deep grief right now and
feeling disoriented and strange about it... adjusting I so deeply
connect with animals that when they're no longer with me it just feels
so disorienting but the whole concept of Lionsgate and number eight and
infinity and national cat Day or whatever they called it pretty
fascinating stuff
Thinking of my cats Keesoon, Stella and Tux all
now passed away. Such treasured unique souls. I love them all so much
always...will do video monologue and podcast on this grief process and
deep connection I feel to animals
Wow it's a magical day it does
seem like synchronicity that it's national cat Day and today was the day
that I honored my cat by helping him transition at the end of his life
wow and I ran into a lady who I used to model for while I was walking a
dog in the forest and she might want to hire me to take care of her cats
when she goes on a trip and I think that's amazing as well wow well I
grieve my cat and feel really really sad about the loss of my cat I'm
really happy that I can help take care of other people's pets

Keesoon Kringen. The amazing powerful cat that I had for 7 years in my
life as my companion.... I had three very loving humans surrounding me
and Keesoon today. Grieving time I labored over the choices to make
the pros and cons of every little thing and really for the last 7 years
because he had complicated health issues and yet I kept him happy and
alive for a long time despite those issues through a special Raw meat
diet made for cats and lots of exercise and outdoor time and tons and
tons and tons of attention and affection.... I've been through this
process with many other cats and each cat is totally unique and
different and this one was really, really, really challenging and yet it
was the most loving end of life I've ever experienced with a cat and
with nice humans who cared and had compassion for my point of view.and
great empathy for what the cat was going through- He seemed to want to
keep doing all the normal things but his body just couldn't do it
anymore. Eating-drinking water and sleeping and digesting food just
wasn't happening anymore and he kept trying so hard to keep doing those
normal things and he was so strong and so brave and I don't know if
noble is the right word but he was just an amazing cat.... And I'm a
very spiritual person so I'm going to be talking to his soul...
i
adopted Keesoon in 2015 when he was 9 years old and his cat mom gave me
these two kitten pictures of him. so precious. he was such a cool
personality of a cat. very smart. #rip Keesoon
focus on building up what you love to counteract all the toxic junk happening in the world
Whether
you're into the mainstream or the alternative way of seeing things I
think it's important right now to focus on what you want to create
instead of dwelling on all of the problems and the corruption and the
whatever you think is terrible happening in the world and people arguing
about what is true and what is false about every little thing happening
in the world and all the big things happening in the world all the more
reason to empower yourself and create what you love in the world and do
what you love and spread that around to help counteract all of the
horrible things that are being done and created etc

Just recorded my take on the contrast between the intimate Mike Campbell concert at the Crocodile in Seattle with the Tori Amos concert at the larger venue of the Paramount in Seattle and how I'm inspired by musicians to keep on doing my own art and my own creative spark of creative expression, etc. Find your own personal power through creating an expressing yourself. As opposed to giving your personal power away and worshiping rock stars, that's not how I see it. I see these people as inspirational.

My message for Tori Amos today when I'm going to see her live in Seattle tonight at the Paramount theater. I hand-painted shoes for her in 1996, 2005 and 2014. I've seen her live many times. her music inspires me so much and helps me heal from trauma. her and Tom Pettys music literally has helped me many many times in 1979 when I first heard refugee and in 1992 when I first heard silent all these years and tori amos newer music also inspires me very very very much her last five albums especially.
Just recorded a little monologue about boundaries and self-esteem and loving music and feeling almost ashamed. If I really love music that other people say they can't stand, I don't know why I feel insecure in that way. Like I'm supposed to apologize for liking certain music that other people don't like. That's just really weird because it's not like I want everyone to like the same music as me. That's fine with me if they disagree, but for some reason I feel like they're telling me that I am not okay in liking the music that I like so I know that's some kind of weird wound from childhood or other kids bullying me or some kind of ridiculous thing that I need to heal from

"C'mon c'mon" is it really beautifully done black and white movie with Joaquin Phoenix that I just watched.... Certain aspects reminded me of both the pros and the cons of my own childhood.... The creativity and the authenticity of it is a great beautiful story and I love the music and the editing and the cinematography and the black and white is so beautifully done. It's a movie I'd like to watch a few times... all my favorite movies I'm happy to watch multiple times.
I'm witnessing the mental blocks people have when something sinister is happening... sometimes people just don't want to acknowledge it and they want to pretend like everything is okay... I can think of times previously in history when certain horrible things were happening and people just sort of pretended like it was okay.... I guess that's a defense mechanism that people have just so they can get through the day. Human Nature... I'm seeing all kinds of patterns that I'm not going to describe here and I'll keep that to myself.... Sending good wishes to all....
Keeping a sense of meaning and purpose in life is very important and different people have different ways of doing that.
I love the wisdom and the philosophy in all of the great religions of the world. I'm not a religious person at all, but I believe in wisdom and I believe in the philosophy that helps us live our best life and connects us through love with others. So in regards to people who are judgmental against religion or obsessed with religion, I would say don't confuse the baby with the bath water. I'm interested in the actual wisdom and the philosophy that's helpful and all of the dogma and fear and shame and guilt in superstitious shallow blah, blah, blah and excuses to go to war and blah blah blah blah blah. That's just all a bunch of gunk that needs to be flushed down the toilet, but the actual wisdom of loving others as we love ourselves and forgiving and unconditional love and actual like wisdom. I'm interested in all of that and you can also be an atheist and be full of wisdom. So I guess what I'm interested in is wisdom, love and compassion. Whether somebody is religious or an atheist or whatever doesn't matter to me. Joseph Campbell talked about this and he actually was thought of his controversial for having that idea. He saw all the similarities in the different philosophies all around the world and even if you're an atheist, there's wisdom in some of those views as well and they can be connected to spiritual ways of seeing. So I intuitively connect the dots in a similar way from what Joseph Campbell talks about blah blah blah I need to go to bed. I'm tired but I guess I do think about philosophy quite a bit in my own intuitive abstract way and how it lines up with human behavior, etc. I'm just too tired to say anymore. Good night
Wow what a challenge it is to feel empathy and compassion for people who I think are completely wrong about certain things and also wanting to receive empathy and compassion from them who think I'm wrong about certain things that's a big challenge these days I would say from my perspective

sending good wishes to all for health and well being. so much polarity and conflict in the world now. very challenging time. and yet harmony still exists and nature still tries for (hō′mē-ō-stā′sĭs) " The tendency of an organism or cell to regulate the chemical processes that take place internally so as to maintain health and functioning, regardless of outside conditions. The ability to maintain a steady body temperature is an example of homeostasis."
