My New Harmonium

 

A few weeks ago I told Steven that when I
have memorized the entire Hanuman Chalisa then I
want to buy a harmonium so I can play it
while I sing the Hanuman Chalisa

I finished memorizing it a few days ago
 

We were looking at harmoniums on ebay
yesterday morning when I got an email
from my friend Lauren saying that her
husband had decided he didn't want to
sell any of his harmoniums right now
so when I told Steven that he said
well I'll find you one on Craig's list
 

So he looked on Craig's list and there was a
harmonium for sale at a garage sale in
Boulder for $175 and the sale was only
going to be one day (today) from 10-2
 

I looked in my cash box and I had $178
 

So we drove to Boulder, got to the

garage sale just a few minutes after it opened,
walked in and saw this beautiful harmonium,
fell in love with it and said we'll take it
 

Just another example of how
magical life is
 

Two Magical Synchronicities

 

 

We were hiking the other day
from Bear Lake to Glacier Gorge and
as we started out I looked at the time
 

it was 10:16

When we got to Bierstadt Lake
I looked at the time
 

it was 11:16

When we got to Glacier Gorge
parking lot I looked at the time
 

it was 12:16

I thought, Wow that is so unusual!
I wonder what the significance of those numbers is?

Later that afternoon
Steven found a fountain on Craig's List
(we have been looking for the perfect one

for several months)

When I saw the fountain I immediately loved it
even though it was well worn, and needed
painting and a new pump

It has 3 levels and each one
has 16 raised ridges

That's the significance of the three 16's!!

We brought the top half home first and
within just a few minutes of setting it up
in our Sandalphon Circle I looked out the window
and 3 baby deers were checking it out!

Here's the other magical synchronicity

This morning I was outside singing
my Sacred Animal Songs by our little waterfall
and when I finished I set my iphone up
and made a video of Nuthatch Song

I was hoping maybe a little nuthatch
would come along to be in the video

That didn't happen but one did
sing along near the end

I came inside to pick my
Sacred Animal Song of the day
so I could make a piano video
of it like I have been lately

and...

Can you believe?!!

Nuthatch!

So instead of making a piano video
I just used the singing one that I
had just made :)

 

 Nuthatch teaches us grounding
and to have faith in ourselves

Being grounded simply means
we are fully present and
focused in the NOW moment
experiencing peaceful awareness
connected to All that Is
and in the Flow

 

Here is what I wrote in my journal this morning

 

Breathe

 

Life Loves You

 

This now moment is how

life shows its Love for You

 

Breathe deep breaths of Love

for this NOW moment

Love Youself deeply through

your Love for this now moment

You are here now
and You Are LOVE

 

Happy Magical Day!

 

I Love You

Zoe

Peter Kater

 

 

About 3 weeks ago Peter Kater followed me on Twitter

and I thought wow, that must be a different Peter Kater than

the one who plays such beautiful music on the piano.

But after I followed him he sent a direct message saying

 

Thanks for the follow!

Are you making your own music?

http://goo.gl/ZyhsT

 

This link took me to his facebook page.

Cool! It WAS the real Peter Kater!

Of course, I immediately "liked" his page

and followed him on facebook.

 

Then I tweeted him this...

 

Thank you for following me Peter ♥♫*~♥

I've always loved your music and went to

one of your concerts in Boulder

 

And he favorited my tweet!

 

I was so touched!

So I looked at his other tweets and saw

that he had just given away 2 free tickets to his

inhome concert coming up on July 13 and

the winner was one of my online friends!

 

So I looked on facebook to see if that was

the same Rae Jensan that I knew and it was!

 

So I messaged Rae and she said she

has been to several of his inhome concerts

and highly recommended them to me,

said that I would really love it.

Well I thought it would be cool to meet Rae

in person at Peter's concert so I got a ticket.

 

As it turned out, Rae wasn't able to go

to the concert after all, but that's okay.

We'll probably meet at another one

of Peter's concerts someday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steven said he would take me and drop me off

then go to a movie or something. He loves Peter's music too

but felt shy about going to something so intimate

with people he didn't know.

 

When I was trying to find something to wear I

decided my cat dress would be perfect but the

only shoes I had were crocs so I was planning to

go to Goodwill to find some new shoes.

Then I got an email from Peter saying that

dress was casual and everyone was asked to

leave their shoes at the door.

I was so happy to hear that,

it instantly made me feel more relaxed....

 

Well, Saturday night was very magical!

It only took 45 minutes to drive from our house

to Peter's and that was all back roads and no traffic.

Peter met everyone at the door and shook their hand.

 

I said "Hi, I'm Zoe, Rae's friend!"

And he said "I love your socks"

 

I headed for the front row because that's always

my favorite place to be at any kind of concert.

Peter walked in with his tshirt and jeans and bare feet

and made us all feel at home, then started playing

his beautiful grand piano.

The music was so beautiful I could hardly breathe.

 

Peter said no applause please,

but in between songs people could comment

or ask him questions.

 

 

 

I was too spellbound to say anything.

The music took me to another world

and brought me back again transformed.

 

The last song he played was Espresso and it

was probably the most amazing musical experience

I have ever had. I told him so.

And I bought his Piano CD

which is a collection of his most requested

and loved piano compositions.

 

 

 

After the music was over I enjoyed a glass of wine

made a few new friends, then Steven picked me up.

He had had a great time at the movie!

 

Life is always bringing such magical gifts.

 

 

 

 

Peter Kater

Thank you for bringing your beautiful gift

of piano music to the world.

And thank you for seeking me out

so I could be there for your

magical inhome concert.

 

 

Love, Zoe

 

Happy New Moon

 

Magical things are happening everyday

Well, first of all there was the 8 foot long snake skin I found.

And there was a another 7 foot long one right next to it!

These are bull snakes and they aren't poisonous.

They like to go over to my neighbor Lisbeth's

and eat her chicken eggs and occasionally

come over to visit us.

A few days after I found the snake skins

Lisbeth got a picture of the snake in her duck pond!

So that was cool.

I had a little fun and made this snake skin clock.

And now we have the 2 snake skins lying in front of our windows.

I painted our house number on this rock

to put by the driveway. Do you see the elephant?

What was so cool about that was that I went looking

for a rock, thought this one would work fine, then when

I started to paint the numbers I saw the elephant on it.

The reason that is so awesome is because my name

means elephant in Japanese :)

Otis played Linus in the musical

You're A Good Man Charlie Brown

and I went to all 3 performances.

He was so fabulous!

 On the 4th of July we went hiking in RMNP,

one of our favorite hikes...the loop going up to

Alberta Falls and then coming down Boulder Brook Trail.

We saw so many beautiful waterfalls and I made

short videos of them and put 2 of them on youtube.

 

 Here's a cool picture of Remi and me

 

And here's cool picture of Oona

Sostice Eve (this is not a sonnet)

If I had a written a sonnet to

put on my blog today it would have

started out like this

I called the sherriff's office to complain

about my noisy neighbor Chainsaw Wayne

 but

I have decided I've written enough sonnets.

I wanted to learn how to write sonnets so I did, wrote many,

shared, had fun doing it. And now on to the next thing.

Today is the last day of spring and it has

been a most magical spring just like spring always is.

Well just like every season is and every day is too!

But anyway, today I feel new.

Maybe it's the solstice energy.

 But I think it's because something was resolved.

 Here's the story....

Yesterday, I was sitting out at our peaceful waterfall writing

in my journal and then singing my Sacred Animal Songs

like I do every morning. I love the mornings so much.

Around 6:00 I go out in the woods to my

Sacred Mountain Lion Yoga Circle and do the

5 Tibetan rites that I have been doing for over 20 years.

It's so quiet and peaceful in the mornings here where we live....

UNTIL 10:00  AM 

when Chainsaw Wayne starts up

his noise next door. I get all my morning outside

stuff done so that I can be through by 10:00.

Anyway, so I was sitting out there enjoying the

peacefulness when all of a sudden in the middle of

my singing, I couldn't believe it, that horrendous

LOUD truck brought a load of wood to deliver.

This is probably the loudest most annoying sound

I have ever heard in my life. I don't even know what it is exactly...

some kind of crane or sidewinder that picks trees up and

lays them down in their new spot.

I was soooo upset because it was only 8:30 and I should

have had another 1 1/2 hours of peace and quiet.

So I came inside, slammed the door, and turned the Gypsy Kings

on so loud the house shook. This is my escape and the only way

I can deal with the noise and with my anger.

Play Gypsy Kings and dance away all my frustrations.

Then I feel a lot better.

So anyway, I had just noticed the other day that Wayne's big sign

by the Eagle campground for firewood said call or text.

Text, hhhmmm.

So back to the quiet waterfall singing.

The first thing I did was text Wayne Chainsaw and say

"Why is this noise going on so early in the morning? I am

going to have to file a complaint because I just can't

take this loud noise in our quiet woods anymore"

So I called the sherriff and talked to a nice lady

about what steps to take and then she put me on hold.

After being on hold for a few minutes I decided it was

time for me to meet Wayne face to face. He's been my

neighbor for 2 years and we've talked on the phone several

times to work things out about the chainsaw but never

met in person so the time had come.

So I walked up there and knocked on his office door.

We talked and we set some new hours that we're both happy about.

The new hours for chainsawing are weekdays 9-1 and 4-6

with no chainsawing on the week-ends.

And if anything is going to be outside of that schedule

he will text me. And if I'm not going to be home I will text him

and he can chainsaw as much as he wants to

whenever he wants to.

So we worked it out!

Yaye!

 

 

 

 

Happy Solstice

I Love You

June Sonnet

June Sonnet 

We found amazing treasures Saturday

at neighborhood garage sales...Yippee Yaye!

I think the coolest thing we found was this...

a dolphin table...oh what fun and bliss

 

We partied at the Rio Sunday night

to celebrate that Seth is 40....Yikes!

 

 

 

I wrote a birthday sonnet for Seth Dear

It's on my other blog site...read it here

(Happy Birthday Sonnet for Seth)

This little heart-shaped mirror fell and broke

a special magic hello from Van Gogh

 

 

Today Koyuki caught another snake

It crawled into her cage...a bad mistake?

The snake is fine and he would like to say

"Enjoy the changes, have a magic day"
