On another note: I am finally discovering the TRUTH to my world. I guess I will go back to my amazing Valentine's weekend to explain. First of all, me and Che decided to make no plans and just see what happens. Saturday we headed downtown for happy hour sushi and since we arrived a little early we went to Fado's, an Irish Pub, to have a beer. We ordered our beers and picked a very quiet, dark and romantic spot and just talked and laughed, it was sooo nice! I love our talks! Then we headed over to wait in line at the sushi place, it is so good that people line up outside the door for happy hour. We sat down to eat our delectable longhorn and barton springs rolls and took a look at the Austin Chronicle. Turns out RJD2, a DJ, was playing that night at Emo's. It was still early and I remembered that my friend Amber from school was celebrating her birthday at The Dog and Duck Pub, so we headed over and played pool and darts before everyone arrived. We got to hang out with everyone for a little while before we headed over to Emo's for the amazing show. We had sooo much fun!! He was incredible! We finally made it home around 2am and then we were up early for the one plan for the weekend. CHURCH! Che suggested that we go to church on Valentine's day and so it was my job to find one to go to. Well, needless to say I found the perfect one for us. I was searching on the internet and came across The Austin Center for Spiritual Living and read the section on 'what we believe' and it aligned perfectly with what I believe. So there we were bright and early for the 9:30am service and it was incredible, so much so that we have been going for the past 3 weeks. I just love it! Everything makes perfect sense to me as the believe is that there is ONE source for life and we are all a part of that. People call that source all kinds of things, God, Buddha, Allah, but there is only one and it is infinitely beautiful and good and amazing. I recently came to the realization that "god" is just life, from watching a documentary about Viruses. They were combining 2 different parts of genes together and then they had to give it the juice to turn it on and make it living. That shook my world. What is this essence of life that we have? What is it that allows us to breath, love, and create? So now it all comes together...it is the life source. I am absolutely loving the church that I am becoming a part of. They talk how to live in unity with this life source and I find myself living differently, with my consciousness wide open and aware of my actions and my words. I am learning so much about myself and life and how to just be. The last sermon was about the godly nature of giving and creating. It was beautiful and inspired me to act, so a few friends got some surprises and I can't wait to keep on giving!
After that first day of going to church, we decided to take a road trip and drive out on 183 to see what we find. We drove and drove and we finally came across a creek. After turning around about 5 times to try to go down and see it, we came upon the most beautiful clear blue water under the bridge. It was amazing! I took so many pictures and can't wait to play with them. It was such a beautiful day of exploring.
One more little tid bit.....I was watching another documentary called "Pluto and beyond". Just when I think my mind can't expand any further it pushes through those boundaries. My heart was overjoyed while watching it. It is so amazing to me how much the universe feels like home. Another interesting thing on that show is that they found out the make-up of comets. CARBON! The very building blocks that make us. It is incredible to know that we are a part of it all and I am at PEACE.......
