On the quotes part of zaadz, I found this gem by Alan Watts.

No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve in quality as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing it is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them. ~Alan Watts

To paraphrase: Don't get caught up in doing and forget about Being. Especially if it is self-improvement....what are you really improving anyway?

Practical Words from Emerson

Posted on Jun 13th, 2006 by Kari : Allower Kari

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Make a commitment to forget what your lover, mom, or boss did yesterday. Forget that this is the 37th day in a row you have sat in your car on the highway crawling to work... or whatever! Wake up and be thankful for anything. Go from there and see what happens. When you find yourself dwelling on a memory, recall something joyous instead.

Calling all zaadzsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, this is a little advertisement, though a worthwhile one! I recently had the privilege of meeting and having dialogue with Patrick Marsolek and some other luminous people who blew me away in Helena (which I still need to blog about!). I can't make it back for this event, but you should seriously consider it -- especially if you have never been to Montana. This workshop needs you and you need it! You know who you are if you are supposed to go to this--trust your intuition! If you want to experience beauty and a sense of purpose, go to this!!! Do you desire change in yourself and the world? Do you know there is something deeper than the surface ripples of drama and chaos? The Institute of Noetic Sciences does great work, and you won't want to miss this upcoming workshop in beautiful Montana.

This workshop will be a high-energy, fun and transformative event at a beautiful healing site.

360 Degrees of Transformation - with James O'Dea

Breakthrough from chaos to beauty in the Montana landscape. Join James O'Dea, president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and Patrick Marsolek in a workshop on personal change and transformative action. July 13, 6:00 p.m. - July 16, 1:00 p.m., 2006 in Boulder, Montana.
We live in a time of profound change. New paradigms of connection and energetic relationships offer us renewed ways of perceiving and living in the world. We gather in Montana to engage in a deep consultation with the universe about what we need to take back into our lives, our communities, and the larger world for effective transformation. 
360 degrees of transformation will be a collective inward journey into our deeper purpose. We will travel a full circle through the underworld of our own archetypal energies with heart, intention, and respect.
Then opening to our entanglement with larger energies and forms of consciousness, we will invite a sensory, somatic connection with the natural world to guide us into a personal discovery of self. We will nurture an awakening to a new, clearer sense of our personal path.
From a new sense of self-in-connection we will begin to express and crystallize our personal and collective story, bringing all our insights and experiences into a sacred recognition and confirmation of our living potentials for transformation and change.
We enter this journey to reinvigorate our lives with spirit and to experience connection and meaning. We come together to be seen embodying our truest selves.

Experience the healing, beautiful Boulder Hot Springs between Butte and Helena!

Proof that people are evolving beyond themselves...

Posted on Jun 26th, 2006 by Kari : Allower Kari

I received a mail from fellow zaadzster Blake. Then I went to his company's website, Toms shoes. I thought, I don't necessarily need shoes...UNTIL I read his mission. For every pair of shoes you buy, he will give one to a child!!! How bold is that! This is awesome!!!
