  2. Jai Maa... we bought a home! 1882 Victorian, Santa Cruz, CA. Rich with history. Adorned with beauty. And now, imbued with our love 💗 I've rented since I left home at 18. So this feels exceptionally celebratory. Exciting. Also, terrifying. Also, since I don't subscribe to conventional beliefs re ownership, esp land ownership, complex. What feels incredibly clear + coherent: this new beginning is not really about owning a thing. It's about practice: practicing being a devoted steward to life's gifts. It's about grounding commitment, creating nurturing spaces, fostering beauty in the world. Honoring a long lineage of care. It's about sacred reciprocity, a dedicated caring relationship w/a friend who also cares for me, my family, community. It's about vast possibility. This home, she's a living being, an ancestor. I feel the spirit of artisans who carved the spiral staircase, the devotion of human+horse helpers who gathered redwood for her from nearby forests - before cars existed! I feel her essence, also her personality - let me tell you, she's a delight! Also, sturdy. Dependable. I feel her inspiring me into questions I've long pondered: What if we lived in a culture where nothing and no one was a throwaway? Where we treated every thing+being as precious, nondisposable. What if we purchase less crap, and things we choose to have: Loving them, taking good care, honoring them, letting go when it's someone else's turn? Yoga taught me about nonattachment - a key teaching re how suffering is rooted in grasping, clinging. Not just to things, but more insidiously, to beliefs, thoughts, narratives. Nonattachment is NOT teaching us to dishonor beings/things. In fact, yoga has shown me how to be MORE intimate in my relations. To connect + grieve + value more deeply. To live + love more fully! To see the divinity in everyone/thing, even when conditioned mind has concretized a story, probs due to experiencing fear. Nondual tantra philosophy: if god is anywhere, god is everywhere. I bow to the divinity of this home, and vow to bless her w/ family, adorn her w/ altars, and relentlessly imbue her with love. What grace.🥹 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. #home
