comedy show!

 got a ticket to a comedy show! going solo! yeah. easier to go alone- complicated to coordinate with someone else plus this comedian is "controversial" and i love their humour and want to fully enjoy without some other person's opinion distracting me!

serendipity

 Just reading a friend's post about the synchronicity that he had happened to him involving his car breaking down and his family needing help and then things miraculously working out after some complicated irritating hardness and then people coming together and helping each other in an amazing way I'm also noting that in my own life some doors are shutting and some other doors are opening and some of the opportunities I've had in my career that has shifted recently has been pretty amazing synchronicity of my love for animals and my art modeling and my volunteering work all intersecting and kind of an amazing way and other things that I don't even want to talk about but things are simultaneously actually quite painful and sad and then also quite wonderful and I can feel this loving energy and the goodness of being alive even though I also feel this dark creepy Sinister energy I also feel this wonderful loving helpful energy that is very life-affirming so again doors are shutting but then new doors are opening!!!!

Took gorgeous morning walk.  So thankful for the sunshine and smell of plants and beautiful nature that I am deeply connected to.  Determined to focus on this life affirming energy while noticing the darkness. I'm consciously choosing to build up what I want more of being present with all that is here now.  Letting go of fear and anger and using it as fertilizer

Grateful my mom put me an alternative school where they actually encouraged us to learn Hands-On in the real world and they encouraged our creativity and individuality and gave us the power to create what we wanted instead of just indoctrinating us with dogma

just to vent more truth out:  both my mom and dad did some AMAZING THINGS for me as a kid and some bad things BOTH it was complicated.  both my mom and dad are highly sensitive insightful intuitive intelligent human beings just like me.  i was raised in some very good ways and some bad ways BOTH. NOT just one way or the other.  both parents are great humans and they made mistakes in how they raised me both very strongly.  in some ways they did amazing with me and i am very lucky on those levels and i can learn from my wounds BOTH.  the glass is both 1/2 empty AND 1/2 full! ha ha

animals i care for

 

I'm helping take care of three cats and two dogs right now and I love all these animals but I admit it's nice to kind of just focus on my cat for a little while right now while I juggle taking care of all the other animals

Up up up incorporated circus crane show is playing August 1st in Olympia Washington they are really really talented like... it's a free donations accepted show but it's like seeing a $30 show.... it's really high quality professional... really funny! really their athletically very gifted acrobatic performers... they're very funny... they play live music... it's really really a solidly well done show truly! If you like acrobatic performance and you like fun old-timey tuba horns piano drums funky music and slapstick comedy you will love it. There's a cast of seven and they all have really good comedic timing and they're all really good performers and really nice people. A true blessing to humanity...

current thoughts

 enjoying the self censorship training? ha ha not me but finding creative ways to stay authentic

Grazing animals fertilize the earth when they're rotated through crops or land areas  in the proper way... By not overgrazing them and not undergrazing them rotating them Allan Savory talks about this and there's a huge farm that does this in Georgia called White Oak pastures I really admire these people.


Allan Savory Presenting at Harvard Law School
https://youtu.be/aFAEq6mCtL4

a video of a talk that he did in comments....Just rediscovered a guy named Allan Savory he's from Zimbabwe and he has a whole philosophy about how we can regreenify the Earth and slow down the desertification of the Earth and it's through using livestock to fertilize the Earth and we greenify it he's an ecologist and a livestock farmer and more and I agree with his ideas instead of thinking everyone should stop eating animals you should use plants and animals in a different way the way nature works best which is to regenerate the soil through regenerative agriculture etc it's very multifaceted and it makes a lot of sense to me and it's completely different than how we do both plant and animal agriculture right now with mono crops and hideous chemicals etc this is going back to Nature and back to working with nature in the way that it naturally works its best which is manure plants animals the whole ecosystem rotating the crops the diversity the micro organisms etc he's done countless lectures online on video I'm listening to one right now

A word is dead when it is said some say,. I say it just begins to live that day.... Emily Dickinson

I used to watch The Carol Burnett show growing up a very funny comedy show for those of you who don't know and one of the acrobats that performs with the up up up incorporated circus crane show is so funny.... Her facial expressions are really exaggerated and over the top slapstick comedy humor mixed with fun funky live music that they sing and perform mixed with their really really high quality skills as acrobats they are really talented!  Just some other humor is really goofy slapstick humor and their facial expressions are really dramatic and one acrobatic performer in particular reminds me of Carol Burnett she's very funny she is amazing comedic timing or whatever you call it.... And again they perform this Saturday July 31st 7pm  in Seattle at the equinox studios in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle that's sort of the industrial part of town near 4th Avenue South.  All of the performers male and female are quite talented there was just one in particular and I don't know her name but she reminded me of Carol Burnett in terms of her comedic timing and her facial expressions and she's also a very good acrobat spinning and doing beautiful graceful routines hanging from the crane it's pretty great and a bunch of the performers are great they're all great really there's men and women and they're all a little bit different and funny and seriously good athletic acrobatic artistic performers the show is really multifaceted.  The show is free and then you donate what you want at the end

here's one of the few photos I took with my phone I have some better pictures I took with my other camera.... I just haven't had the energy to upload them yet but this Saturday I'm planned to do better photos and videos of these performers and share they are really really talented performers and their show is very funny and uplifting and cheerful!  this Saturday night July 31st at 7:00 p.m. in Seattle's Georgetown equinox studios- I highly recommend this to my Seattle art loving friends:  the  up up up show is amazing!   I saw it a few days ago in Everett with Jason Webley opening for them... it's great.   I plan to be there I might make some videos of it!

Childhood neglect memories triggered by fun aRt group event! complicated...
