Life is our Altar

eyes open
kiss myself
thank the life for living in me
around me
with me

thank the sun
the stone people
the standing ones
water mother
earth breath
kinfolk
we move
hug
open in each other
dance
sing
juice
drink
cut pick
pluck
cook
eat

bathe in the love we gardens grow

dance through the streets singing in our families eyes
pollinate hi vibes
gather and harvest the sweet honey
make a honey comb hive of the galaxy

in drum beat
in swirling revelatory stillness
in surprise glimpses of our hearts and souls
in justice returned
true power remembered
in listening to falling leaves and trickling water and crashing waves and devouring fires

we remember our family together
we tell new stories
sing new songs
dance old dances in new bodies
and catch the mirror behind the subject in the mirror

we find each other
we dream each other up
and up and up and up
until there is no up and down
no side to side
not even side by side
only one
won
simply being
as an act of victory

life is our altar
and in each miraculous act of creativity we place our love upon her

The time of the Dragon is hear

The scales are balancing

The heart and the feather see eye to eye



Qetzalcoatl

Let your mind wander...

after thoughts,
in fields of awareness,
what matters?

In matters of the heart
We have Miss-ed and Sir-ed the real

De-sense-atized

Reeling from reel to reel

What do you feel?

For real.


The time of the Dragon is here

We collect ourselves in our surroundings
Gathered by firelight with a choir of molecules
quirks and quarks
Turning our qualms to psalms

Press your palms open
Let everything u never knew u always wanted pour in
Let everything u thought u needed be you
let secret strands of DNA
dissolve these genetically engineered mind states
we picked up in the produce sections of our self consuming consciousness

The time of the dragon is here.

Breathe fire in the lifeless corners of the hardened hearts

Scale up, or down, or back or IN!

Let claws come out, let feet leave cliffs behind
remember the bed of clouds you dreamed yourself up on

heart of moon
wrapped in sun
wrapped in moon
mirrors for scales
as many hearts as scales
each scale the gateway to heaven
hearts see eye to eye

The time of the Dragon is here...

i.Ameni Beat Collages

Home from Peru with vivid dreams in sleep and visions during the day coax the birth of the ArcoIris i.Ameni video collages...

Peru: Day 1.2

:) havent really slept in 3 days, going right now, lima was intense and beautiful, had a whole crowd ready to welcome in the new president taking pictures of me and the afro (and feather) instead :)

they know how to show love...

(and curiosity, and appreciation, and perplexion ;) and...)

just got to cusco this morning and it feels like days ago, the air, the earth, the mountains are special here! the elevation thins the bloods and quickens the vibration, the cobblestone streets and old colonial stylings built on top of incan architcture tell so many stories, the big small city feeling makes community accesable and flux and excitement rampid... so u know i{m vibin serious!!!


met hella cool folks, the kind that feel like fam right away, it´s a serious practice to stay open cuz there are so many people tryna sell you things here and what they´re selling is so amazing, it´s so exhausting telling all the good people on their hustle no every 2 minutes (literally!)...

more investigations into the class system and the nature of the gov´t here when we meet up with the homies Fred and Luzma... so many with so little and so much... you know how it is...

overwhelming, refreshing, great practice in boundaries and openess, great reminders of community and culture and play, and as always i am expanding...

give thanks
live love

holler with more soon...

my pictures are on the video camera with no computer connection so you¨ll see those later...

Los Rakas-Soy Raka

It's been amazing to watch people's responses to this beat, i made it pretty quickly one night, probably spent more time dancing around the room than i did making it :)

The song gets played all over the place in the bay, made national news for the Turf dancing in the video, and it's on the radio in Panama!

Los Rakas does there thing! They are hard working professional artists with big hearts, making beautiful music.

and...it's sad to watch the gunz and gold ones get all the play, how much more work we have to put in to feed the people something different, how much we gotta sneak it in...

I know we're hungry for nourishment, keep working on the recipe :)
