Save Pluto and Pay It Forward

Save Pluto and Pay it Forward

Have you or anyone you know ever known bought a bumper sticker and put it on your bumper with the feeling that it didn’t quite fit?

Bumper stickers are super personal.

I know I’m supposed to like and want bumper stickers that say namaste, which I actually have one, or AUM.  Those like go with what I do, but if I’m going to be 100 percent honest with you there are only two bumper stickers I really have ever wanted.

SAVE PLUTO   and   PAY   IT   FORWARD!

When I first saw the bumper sticker save pluto my heart melted. It was like the feeling of wanting to save a lost puppy who needed a home. It also brought back memories of solar system elementary school lessons, which were actually my fav when it came to using time wisely in school.

I even did a report on Pluto, and have fond memories of that tiny planet, yes planet!

One year my kids asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I asked for the bumper sticker Save Pluto. They said they couldn’t find it.

The second bumper sticker that is like me in a nutshell is Pay It Forward.  That’s just kind of what happens naturally as I’m out and about.

I have a clear memory of my son telling me when he was about 8 years old, “hey mom, how come your like nice to everyone?”  I guess it was just kind of like Pay It Forward coming through.

I write this because it reminds me of what’s at the base of all our essences?

I feel like its this natural genuine, be kind to one another energy that is shared by all beings.

And yes, I’m an optimist in humanity at large!

Really letting go, really being and opening each day brings me into more vulnerable, more real ways of being in life. And things that you might not expect, like a bumper sticker with the words SAVE PLUTO bring in feelings of  compassion pop out of nowhere and remind me of my humanness.   

I feel so well, SAVE PLUTOISH here in San Francisco. Ok so it’s more like wow, save the homeless. The homeless are everywhere here, and I don’t understand how so many of them have gotten lost or are where they are. 

I know, I know there are tons of theories on this, but at the root, it seems that as a society to have so many of them on our streets is not in alignment with humanity’s natural goodness.

Ultimately We’re all in this together.

Hmmmm we’re just humans having a spiritual experience, or we’re spiritual beings having a human experience. Something like that right! I always get it confused.

Over the holidays I’m going to nudge myself to PAY IT FORWARD, in any way I can.

May your light shine brightly, so you may share it with all who you encounter.

Enjoy your life, you only have one!
Namaste

States of Gratitude came while riding the MUNI BUS! It was cold, and dark. 7:30 p.m. I was downtown in the heart of San Francisco. I have been totally surrendering to being here, and the biggest surrender is  NOT TO  I REPEAT... NOT TO DRIVE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!!!! One of my friends said she had read that the car represents the ego.  Well if that's true I've been forced to surrender. The worst part about San Francisco is driving and parking, It makes no sense, to drive unless you have an empty garage waiting for you and the route you take has no one way streets which is virtually impossible here. My only solution has been to surrender! I find a spot to leave my car for the 6 days allotted before street cleaning grants a ticket.  I walk everywhere. This  comes with many compromises. One biggie is not going to the grocery stores I prefer unless I want to ride the bus.   So tonight I really wanted to go downtown to a class I love. I hadn't been in a month due to the parking and driving situation. Seriously it's that bad. I decided to bare all and take the Muni tonight. So here's what happened,,,,,,,,, something really wild, and yet not so wild when you think about spiritual development.  I got really open and relaxed in my class, and felt ahhh at peace with the world.  And then, there it was this like WOW I felt the oneness and felt the deep support of the Universe! LIGHTS FLASHING!  I felt the gratitude show up as deep Gratitude for the Muni Bus! I had this like ah ha of wow thank you bus drivers,  thank you roads, thank you crazy taxis, thank you the way everything actually works. And although so much of our time and what  we hear on the news and we witness speaks to us as This isnt' working, I have to say  that the MUNI, the Traffic, and the whole of the whole are working quite well together  I REAL EYES, REALIZED  how everything is here to support us.  I felt deep relaxation as I walked back to the Donut World, where I got back on the  MUNI to go uptown to my house.  Gratitude is a wild thing. When it authentically shows up,  in any moment, take it in  and REJOICE! It's different to feel it from the ground up, like right there in the belly,  than to muster it up and think about oh this is what I'm grateful for. OVER THE HOLIDAY, if you're so inclined... Take time to be alone, meditate, or listen, to what your truly in AWE  over, FEEL IT BREATHE IT AND LET IT FEED YOUR SOUL. For anyone who read this, I AM TRULY GRATEFUL, for sharing this simple yet meaningful experience.  The writing is a followed inspiration, and the intent is to wake up GRATITUDE in all. What's good for one is good for all. May we all live like the lotus, at home on the banks of the muddy rivers!   ENJOY YOUR LIFE! YOU ONLY HAVE ONE! Much Love, Prema  contact me
