Birthday and Oneness

It was my birthday yesterday. I was invited to my birthday party and received beautiful gifts and had a great time with people here. Brian organized this gathering as a token of his care and sweet heart. He offered me a beautiful shawl made here in Kullu. I was in the presence of many 'meditator extraordinaire' and the energy was so palpably sweet, it was like swimming in a bath of baby oil and being nurtured by the nectar of life itself. It was sweeter than honey and softer than peach. There is something real and true among all of us and I felt very much at home and like myself. I felt free to be me. I felt loved. I felt happy. I felt silly too. We were joking around, and not taking ourselves seriously at all. Which is so great cause many people who have been so devoted to their practice can be very obnoxious. We are talking about people who have been here for 20 or 30 years. Here being the Himalayas. They started living in tents with no amenities whatsoever. And now they are living in modern Indian standards which is still a challenge. They have put up with so much crap and yet they remember that they are pure and free forever and they are that. They are that light and that oneness and their mind has little grasps on who they are. One could say their mind casts very little shadow on who they truly are, the source, the way, the space, the pure, the free, the eternal. It is so nice that they can be in that awareness and yet be so funny and totally present and positive.
Here are the words of truth: Pure Free Forever, the wisdom of the Tao in 3 simple words.
Pure Free Forever...My mantra for now...
