My Amazing Life
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009The time has ds5 indesigh come to share my daily reality in service of the ds5 indesigh greater good. I am 62 and I live in a ds5 indesigh residential hotel in midtown San Francisco. I am content. I have ds5 indesigh several hundred community friends who have all been pursuing the path of living a ds5 indesigh deliberately designed, spiritually oriented and sensual life filled with celebration, dance and ds5 indesigh genuine communication. Many of us are facilitators of transformational courses. Others are ds5 indesigh artists, computer professionals, insurance agents and many are holistic healers. I have ds5 indesigh an abundance of invitations to gatherings for birthdays, holidays, monthly full moon and ds5 indesigh new moon rituals, Burningman, etc.
I often attend introductory transformational and ds5 indesigh personal growth events my friends are facilitating in order to support them and ds5 indesigh also to meet new friends and colleagues in the transformational community.
I also spend time on our private community chat lists and ds5 indesigh Facebook being a personal witness and champion of their brilliance. I see them as my spiritual children. Many of us viewed the new movie, “Avatar” and ds5 indesigh were moved and inspired to continue our individual and collective practice of collaborative, spiritually informed and ds5 indesigh courageous living.
Here at the Granada Hotel, I live in another kind of community. There are ds5 indesigh about 150 residents from all manner of backgrounds, ethnicities, gender preferences, age groups and ds5 indesigh socio-economic status. They also span the range of sanity. Many are on mood altering meds or challenged by senility.
Although this ds5 indesigh is an un-assisted living facility, there are people on canes and ds5 indesigh walkers and some have private nurses and take all their meals in their rooms.
Because I am ds5 indesigh on the night shift from midnight to 4A 3 nights a ds5 indesigh week and 2:30A-5 the 4th night, I usually am free to ds5 indesigh email and Facebook on my laptop and it is generally calm. However, sometimes I am ds5 indesigh called into service as security, calling 911 and acting as house liason with the ds5 indesigh paramedics, fire department and police. The other night, I got to “talk down” a ds5 indesigh 50 something muscular vet off his meds who was restraining and ds5 indesigh choking a frail gay man in his late 70’s. I do my best each day to ds5 indesigh see and focus on the spirit that dwells in each of us in every person and ds5 indesigh to abstain from judgment and gossip. This is a challenging place to take the high ground.
