READING THE TEA LEAVES:Rhythm of Life

HOLY TRINITY OF ICHNOLOGY: Intuiting the unknown using three principles: substrate, anatomy and behavior. (Collaborative Art by Hallelujah Truth and Chiboogamoo--part of a larger triptych that can be viewed at Fernbank Museum of Natural History)

Hallelujah Pilgrims! My blog, "Coffee with Hallelujah," is about freeing yourself everyday to experience YOUR JOURNEY--even if it is for only 15 minutes. This morning, I am writing you from a place of hurried frenzy. Chiboogamoo and I hang our 7 pieces of artwork today at Fernbank Museum of Natural History. As a result, I have been consumed by the demands of daily living--teaching English as a Second Language and being a working artist getting ready for a show. Today, I write to you my FELLOW SOJOURNERS to claim my 15 minutes of being a SPIRITUAL ART PILGRIM!


How charming and supportive is the universe when one is listening, participating, and commingling! This morning when I was preparing our morning beverages, a tea bag spoke to me. My Chiboogamoo likes to drink Yogi teas, and has been drinking Ginseng Vitality as an alternative to his usual Ginko, which he drinks to support his incredible mental processes. Yogi tea bags have messages. This morning I was greeted by this joyous thought:


THE RHYTHM OF LIFE IS WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE YOUR OWN MIND, BODY, AND SOUL.


Yippee! Permission to breathe, to journey to the center of my busy life into the refuge of my MIND, BODY, and SOUL! I danced with our cat Misha to swirling eastern music, I drew meditatively instead of grading papers, and now, I am here blogging with you my SOUL BLOGGERS.


What ACTION will you take today to EXPERIENCE THE RHYTHM OF YOUR LIFE! Soul blog with me at Coffee with Hallelujah. Be sure to harvest your 15 minutes of creativity now and every day! Hallelujah!

BERT AND MYRTLE REUNION. I am deep into to telling the story of "The Mis(Adventures of Maria the Hutia," a science outreach story for children written by Ron Shaklee. Here two sea turtles reunite after being separated for many years because Myrtle was imprisoned in the zoo. For me this image represents a union of the SOUL, a coming together of disparate parts of ourselves. Hallelujah!
