Doin' The Do ~

Such a well-oiled phrase, though what does it really mean? If you engage deeper, it becomes doin’ your do. This is totally Zen, actually Tao – the way you live your life as an immediate expression of your Soul’s presence and purpose, enlivened and embodied. Whatever this is for you, first knowing what this takes, then actually doing it each day – Heartfully and consciously – is leading a masterful life.

But who’s do have you been doing, if not your own? Who’s been doing your life if not yourself? However you look, inside you’ll have to go to see beneath the surface of your self. What you’ll find is either what makes doin’ your do joyful or worrisome, playful or difficult. It is all a choice, lest not forget. In the eternal butterfly+snake dance of death/rebirth where, especially now, the dive into the chrysalis peel feels so ongoing, it’s become the new norm.

I know so many people who are having to dig just a bit deeper than they’d like, all to get to the next level step, ever to move forward and safely along in their lives. Myself included. As my Higher Self insights and downloads have shown me, this very present moment is the only place I need to rest gently in, to remain immune to the chaos that is NYC. To be sure, it’s fairly well ordered here and rather expensive, however, you if you carry just a semblance of higher awareness, it can be a pretty bizarre place.

In this current ‘domestic transitional’ moment in my life, this next Fool’s step off the ledge to yet another unknown location (though upstate in the Hudson Valley), a very possible living situation just fell through there, reminding me of the ever elusive nature in my quest to find my next home crib. Mind you, this is the tail-end of a 7yr ‘no home zone’ cycle where I’ve been living like a vagabond gypsy, couch surfing all the while. Whew.

However, what I’ve found in the way-deep bottoms of my personality’s pockets has been The Way to do my do way better than ever before. If only because I feel so good, so free of the fear that always met me snarling, whenever I was in this situation – the one not knowing how it’s possibly gonna work out – because experience tells me, ‘it’ never really does, it’s always working out. Eternally so...

The hard earned miles have taught me, my very best place to rest is in the ever eternal place within myself. My Self. My Sacred. My open Heartspace. Here, there is no fear, only potential. In this place, we’re here to be Gods and Goddesses at play – at least in how it was drawn up on The Beloved’s chalk board. As I’m wont to say – alive in my perfect world.

This reality is the beyond priceless benefit of having a consistent meditation practice. It creates a stable foundation that’s built on deep peace, presence and internal spaciousness. This is always a breath away, by the way. HaHaHa - it really is.

I’ve found empowerment isn’t about always acting powerfully, it’s meeting every moment from your place of power. In this I’ve learned, my ego personality doesn’t know how to do this, because my power doesn‘t come from there. It comes through me, not from me, or Keith anyway. It doesn’t take a visionary to recognize the difference between living from your Heart and a well-rehearsed version, masked in bling, sexy form or glittering charm.  


As I’ve called in to embody my Sacred Masculine consciousness, the many years of my life my shit kept being flushed up, literally seemed endless. Really. The adage: The brighter the Light, the darker the Shadow was one I wanted to kill forever. In the shamanic birth canal, you either break open or break apart, with the paradox twist being, your eventual openness usually follows being broken all the way through.

So as I navigate through my life these days, I feel minimal pressure to come up with the ‘right’ answers. This, I believe is because there aren’t so many questions ricocheting inside my head, like bats flying frantic in the belfry. There is more Grace and ease expanding between the notes of the moving moments of my day.

I’ve found my Sacred only by being as relentlessly present, grounded, aligned and connected as possible, living through my Heartspace, with each breath. It is indeed keeping it simple, acting as if everything matters, knowing none of it does --- such a pithy line, that. And yet, living to express gratitude, appreciation and praise is doin' my do and a wondrous way to give and get all those Blessings and more.

Pre- PS HAPPY SOLSTICE EVERYBODY

What a beautiful day here in the city, perfect, cool breezy weather, sunny skies, looking like summer finally came to town. YEA!

Doin’ my do today will consist of giving a massage to a very dear friend, taking another one for a first-time bike ride to a secret spot up the East River and then, yes, you bet - goin’ dancin’ in the Park with my homie crew. Here we’ll joyously celebrate this mid-heaven pivot point of potential power partying like fools under the Manhattan moon.

Thank You & Love To Us All ~
