Thursday, October 15th, 2015. Another day. Sleep was elusive for the first part of the night however once I fell asleep I slept well and quite deeply. I did awake a couple of times but I quickly returned to sleep so they were not really even noticeable interruptions.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Six of Stones, Exploitation: Selfish or foolish overuse of non-sustainable resources implies imbalance in work or business that is damaging to yourself or the environment. The human race's capacity to exploit planetary resources to our detriment is motivated by a flawed belief that we have the right to do so. As we begin to come to terms with the profound effects of global climate change and irreversible effects this will have on our children's lives, the human race still struggles to deal with the unresolved issues of how to feed the billions of new human beings born every year. How we will resource the education, health and social service requirements of entire generations to come seems like a question too painful to even think about. With the world financial systems and safeguards breaking down, and faith in any government's ability to tell the truth and act with integrity severely damaged, our social moral codes and once-familiar cultural 'norms' appear under enormous st(r)ain. We all need to be aware of the price our children will pay for our exploitation of the planet's resources."
What are you exploiting in your life? Or where can you make changes to reduce your impact on the planet? Where and how can we change to be better stewards of these gifts we've been give? Life is a gift? The natural beauty of this planet is a gift. People to share it and share with are gifts. the ability to grow food and sustain ourselves is a gift?
And then I must ask what are we giving back in thanks and gratitude for such enormous and valuable gifts as these?
I'm doing my best to walk lightly on this magnificent planet, Mother Earth. I'm doing my best to conserve water. We're doing our best to recycle and minimize waste, even food or compostable waste ad we're doing our best to live and maintain healthy lives and lifestyles and truly appreciating nature in as many ways as we can.
The strongest energy I'm receiving and what I'll leave you with from the "Six of Stones, Exploitation" is this:
"The human race's capacity to exploit planetary resources to our detriment is motivated by a flawed belief that we have the right to do so."
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Knight of Vessels, Eel'
Wednesday, October 14, 2015. Another evening of Spanish lessons has come and gone and I'm actually learning the language one baby step at a time. Gracias.
I'm sleeping quite well considering I'm back at work and not able to simply sleep in and not worry about the day as we did last week. I thoroughly enjoyed the week especially knowing that I had more to focus on the spiritual: Spirit, Tarot, the Sun, the Moon, and Crows along with the spirits of others and how I wish to engage with others' spirits around North America...this is my ultimate goal, my perfect job, my most rewarding career, my surest path to success that cannot and can never be measured in dollars and cents. I give much thanks to the great conscious that "IS" for enriching my life and bringing such realizations as these into my life.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Knight of Vessels, Eel: With purity of intent, your destiny defined, you are able to bring wisdom and maturity to your tasks. Embarking on a quest of personal revelation, your vision leads you onward. Your deep feelings are expressed at every turn. Attraction, Conquest, Seduction, A welcoming, Compliance, Agreement, Induction, Coming together, Union, Arrival."
For now I feel a need to simply let the "Knight of Vessels, Eel" define and represent itself where you can allow its energy fill and guide you as needed without any words coming from me. For me I feel like I've come upon and am about to open a long lost treasure...I wonder what it might be...
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'0 The Wanderer' and Following Your Heart Into the Future
Monday, October 12th, 2015. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone had or will have a great Thanksgiving Celebration and Dinner.
We entertained family and friends yesterday. A bit of a last minute gathering decided upon our coffee get together Saturday afternoon. But it turned out very well and each dish received rave reviews: ham, sweet potatoes, carrots, stuffing, salad and even the seemingly much hated brussel sprouts. The Costco Pumpkin Pie went down well with the good old fashioned homemade whipped cream.
Thank You Spirit.
Crows, crows, crows...crows and my future seemingly go hand in hand. I'm not exactly what kind of transition took place within me during our travels however what I do know is that the crows we saw along our travels really stood out for me especially as we sat enjoying our coffee and snack at the Tofino Coffee Company where three of four wood carved larger than life crows took roost. And as today's Tarot Energy revealed itself the first image or word that came to mind...crow or a flock of crows.
And with that, today's Tarot Energy is "0 The Wanderer: You have come to a junction or turning point in your life. It may be an unconscious state in which you feel the tide has turned or sense something is going to happen. In a way it already has. Your spirit must move on and the desire to leap into the unknown beckons. This may mean leaving behind or giving up some baggage or burden that you have carried with you from the past. Now is the time to be clear and not let fear of falling or sad disillusion with the universe hold you back. Let your imagination carry you into a new set of possibilities. It is a time to travel hopefully and open your arms to new and challenging aspects of the universe."
Today is about taking a leap of faith, to follow where your true heart has already gone. Let your imagination soar and take you into a new world of possibilities and maybe even achieving the impossible. Don't hold yourself back with fear or doubt. Take the leap of faith...just do it and let the universe lead the way...cross that rainbow and meet your heart in the future that beckons you.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

The 'Page of Stones, Lynx' and Spending Thanksgiving with Family
Sunday, October 11, 2015. We had a busy day yesterday. A friend came by for a visit and a bite to eat. The visit was enjoyable as usual and the food was great. We opted for Filipino food and headed 'Cucicna Manila', a fantastic new addition to New Westminster's lacklustre restaurant options. We have okay restaurants here mind you but we need more...
Then we hit Tre Galli at the quay for coffee with my brother, dad and his wife. We then invited them over for an afternoon of photo viewing at our place. We'll see them later today as we're hosting them for Thanksgiving Dinner.
Another morning of sleeping in for me. I've been sleeping in for the past week most times past 7:00am and a few days past 7:30am. I'm glad that I've been able to relax to the point of just sleeping and not awaking worrying about things, most of which are things not worth worry about. I firmly believe and realistically know without a shadow of a doubt that this past week is a period of transformation for me.
My camper van Serenity is a great investment and a new home away from home, and a place of Serenity for me, for us. She is a great option for long distance travel and a comfortable choice for quick getaways. I'm glad she came into my life. Now that we spent six days using the van it has given us a good idea of how to pack and what to bring. This has also given me a realistic understanding of how I can transition to using it as a fulltime accommodation.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Essence is the "Page of Stones, Lynx: Pay attention to the physical realm, and be aware of the effects generated by everything you do. A strain of wildness and lack of forethought can sometimes hamper your forward passage, but careful consideration redresses the balance. Study and scholarship, School, Apprenticeship, Starting out, Carefulness, Reflection, Meditation, Observing others."
Today should be a day that involve some meditation and communion with Spirit so that we temper any leanings of wildness that could possibly throw us off track and off course of where we wish to be going. We need a nice healthy balance of spiritual and physical activities today so that we build a nice equilibrium in our day and realistically speaking in our lives. A nice way I do this is to be aware of my physical and spiritual life and composition of my life. I do my best to live and maintain a healthy lifestyle by consuming a healthy diet, having a good balance of physical activity and exercise, and spending time and communing with Spirit.
This last week was a good example of this as we spent time in beautiful natural settings that soothed and rejuvenated our spirits that encouraged and allowed us to walk about and enjoy the natural beauty of Vancouver Island. Being on the road uplifted my Spirit and made me feel at home with myself and all that I am and believe myself to be. The week allowed me to make new discoveries about myself and how I further support myself on the road and how the mere fact of being on the road could itself be a means of financial support.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

Nanaimo, Tofino, Victoria, and Other Stops Along the Way
Saturday, October 10, 2015. We've returned from a successful and enriching trip to Vancouver Island and back. We enjoyed our stays in Nanaimo, Tofino, and Victoria and even discovered a new friend along the way.
I tried to write as we travelled so I might repeat myself here and there but hopefully you enjoy reading about our little adventure...
We unpacked Serenity last night, she's our camper van, returned her to the storage lot, picked up the car and returned home, caught a bit of the news while we unpacked and organised ourselves before grabbing a bite at AandW.
As I sat and relaxed last night, organizing receipts from the trip and gathering my thoughts about the week that was...I realised that I missed being in the van, the camper van is indeed a place of Serenity, and is aptly named.
I slept. missing Serenity and awoke missing her even more. My cute little camper van, Miss Serenity is now a part of the fabric of my being and an integral part of my life.
Thank You Spirit.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Queen of Bows, Hare: A companion through life, sympathetic and understanding, leading you to a deeper awareness of what is needed to bring success to your every enterprise. Wise and witty, gentle and kindly, the Queen supports you and strengthens your resolve. Kindness and responsibility, An offering of peace and love, Helpfulness, courtesy, understanding, Enchantment, Success in business."
We have the support, guidance, and strength needed to help us identify and become aware of what we need to do and how we need to shape our lives in order to have success become part of the fabric of being. The "Queen of Bows" is our constant companion and we must strive to keep her top of mind this day so we can move forward with confidence and a quiet resolve to accomplish our innermost desires.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
And now back to our trip...
We've been to Nanaimo before so on our first full day (Sunday, October 3rd) we took a quick hike along the trails around Living Forest before embarking on a trip into town (Nanaimo) via transit and walked along the harbour, enjoyed a coffee along the quay at "Javawocky Coffee House" and returned to our home away from home in the Living Forest Oceanside Campground around 5:30pm after a quick shopping trip to the Country Grocer and to Rona. Oh, we did discover a few new reads at the "Well Read Books" before catching the bus back home. I picked up, well actually Edith picked up "Communion" by Whitley Strieber and "Report on Communion" by Ed Conroy and my partner picked up "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown.
It's now Monday, October 5th and time to depart the picturesque Living Forest Campground and RV Park and make our way to Tofino and the Bella Pacifica Campground. Our first stop took us to Piper's Lagoon Park, Nanaimo, a lovely walk along a trail to the rock outcropping and lovely views of the harbour and the many fisherman's cabins on Shack Island. Our second stop took us to Beachcomber Regional Park, district of Nanaimo. This was my favourite of the day as a tree invited me in for a visit. I squeezed in through the narrow open doorway and enjoyed the living presence of this warm, welcoming, friendly, funny and engaging tree. More about this in the next couple of paragraphs.
Tuesday, October 6, 2015. Awoke around 7:30am after our third night in Serenity, She's everything I expected and more. Yes, the smaller confined space takes some getting used to but I wouldn't trade this experience for anything else. So far the only difficulty is showering in the cubbyhole of the bathroom as the shower curtain gets in the way of having a comfortable shower. I'm devising a solution in my head.
Other than that I have no other complaints. She is easy to drive and maneuver and is a cozy, comfortable place to relax and enjoy nature. It's been an enriching experience having a home wherever we go. As experienced during our beachcombing excursions yesterday. The trees, sand, shoreline, and sea/ocean were warm and welcoming. My physical body may have stopped walking at the water's edge but my spirit kept going. Yesterday my spirit soared to be with the sun, took root in the earth beneath my feet, and became a part of the sea. Then rising up to be in the clouds and take it all in. What an experience!
I like this rustic campground, Bella Pacfica as we're close to the beach, can hear the waves and our sided by only one neighbour, it's a nice cozy nook for our short stay. As I walked along the beach and let the energy of this amazing coastline fill me I made an amazing discover of a hidden spiritual gem of a place hollowed out the by the crashing waves over many years. I took many photographs of this beach and this spiritual oasis however photographs will be more secondary if I take any at all on future trips as I just want to experience these places more than be photograph taking hound.
Tofino is a small cute seaside village nestled in a geography that truly soothes and nourishes the soul. We walked the return trip of about 9 kilometres to and from the village along a bike and walking path that parallels the highway into Tofino.
Wednesday, October 7th, 2015. Two of Arrows: Injustice. We left Bella Pacifica Campground around 9:40am and arrived at West Bay Marina RV Park at 4:40pm. We stopped for gas and lunch in Port Alberni and then at Cathedral Grove so I could have a quick walk through and a quick moment with a few forest giants that are well over 300 years old. Ladysmith was a quick afternoon coffee break at McDonalds.
Friday, October 9th, 2015. Spirit, physical, spirit, loss or sorrow, distortion of the truth, love at first sight, and rest are the Tarot Energies and/or Tarot Essence of the week that was. The week that was our shakedown cruise, our maiden voyage in Serenity, of new home away from home, our place of serenity and security outside of the condo.
Being in Serenity for me is a very spiritual experience. Spirit is strong and a powerful and creative energy fills her space, every nook and cranny of it.
One worry about her that I have is that she might have a leak on the rear passenger side below the window. Oh and the black holding tank needs to be cleaned top to bottom from toilet all the way down. I've created a list of RV chores I'd like to get done before the next extended trip with her. One such chore or work of love is to clean her inside and out.
It'd be very nice if I could park her close to home so I could easily spend time with her and give her the time and attention she deserves unlike the lack of attention I paid to the other one. Such a shame!
Onto new and better things...
...such as my fascination with crows and how prevalent they are on this trip and how celebrated they appeared to be in Tofino!
I love crows or ravens, either or, both in equal measure...
I feel and know how blessed I am and how rich my life is and how much sacrifice the cosmos/the world has made for me so I can be where I am today...on a ferry with a loving partner after our six day adventure on Vancouver Island in Nanaimo, Tofino, and Victoria. And making an new friend along the way. Thank You Spirit!
Also, among meeting a new friend I met a couple of new books "Communion" and a book about the book "Communion", the name of which escapes me (here it is: "Report on Communion. The Facts Behind the Most Controversial True Story of Our Time"). I've rediscovered the joy of reading as well as of doing crossword puzzles.
Also, I really desire to sit and spend time in Serenity working the Tarot. Serenity feels like a great place, a great space to be spiritual and do spiritual works, Tarot being one of many. Writing is another avenue I wish to explore. Tarot, writing, candles, incense, the Sun, the Moon, crows, and magic...
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'Page of Bows, Stoat' and Being Free Spirited and Having Freedom of Spirit
Saturday, October 3rd, 2015. I slept right through the night and as soon as the five o'clock hour rolled around sleep became elusive so I quietly slipped out of bed and greeted the predawn morning with humble thanks for the gift of another day and in turn the cool yet comfortable morning welcomed me to a new day with it's warm embrace.
I picked my deck of cards and spent time with Tarot and Spirit. I shuffled the cards and as I did so I could feel pulses of energy in my hands that then emanated from my entire body as I acknowledged and recognised it...the energy of Spirit moving through me...time ceased and all senses of form, body, and shape faded away. Then the "Page of Bows" fell from the deck of cards, thus introducing itself as the Tarot Energy of the Day.
"Page of Bows, Stoat: Often, you are seen as an emissary and, as such, your gifts are widely recognized and honoured. Your ability to perceive the truth in almost any matter is vastly helpful and your freedom of spirit marks you out as an original and unique personality."
Acknowledge, recognise and be thankful for your free spirit and freedom of spirit and do not let it go to waste. Whether you know it or not people see you as a gifted, unique, and original person and look up to you. Use this gift wisely and with much humility and gratitude.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

'1 The Shaman' and '15 The Guardian
Friday, October 2nd, 2015. Another week at the job is under my belt and not a bad it was. I'm finding my groove at the job and it is becoming less annoying to me and I am no longer just tolerating the job, I'm actually enjoying it more often than not. Yes, I'd like more free time to focus on my spiritual life and career but debts must be paid and until such a time comes where I feel more comfortable in taking a risk I'll leave the job and simply be a spiritual guide in the here and now.
Last night we saw our last movie at VIFF, a compilation of international short movies, all worth the evening out. We then had a spicy yet mild meal at the Noodle Box on Hastings before heading home. I showered and relaxed a short bit before crawling into bed and a good night's sleep.
Spirit Is and yesterday's Tarot Energy is "1 The Shaman: You may hear the beat of a drum or the song of the wind. It may be the dancing of light on water or the midnight barking of the fox, but whatever awakens your desire to return to the wild, the Shaman in you is ready for initiation into the mysteries. This may manifest itself in the form of a desire to study esoteric science or philosophy and apply what you learn to the world. It may involve travel for the sake of gaining confidence and experience. But however the desire to begin a new spiritual chapter emerges, you are now in an emotional and intellectual position to bring forth real change in your life for the benefit of everyone. This process of focusing, mediating and applying wisdom from the otherworld to everyday reality is the true work of the Shaman."
Today's Tarot Energy is "15 The Guardian: A challenge has arrived in your life. The situation may be very complex. It may even have profound implications for your life and how you deal with the world. It may manifest itself in the form of a profound inner realignment or the facing of some physical outer predicament. Whether from the labyrinth that is the human mind or from some external source, the challenge that presents itself now must be seen for what it is: an opportunity. If something has been hidden or repressed, if a situation has been left to decay or become unhealthy, now is the time to take control of your fears and deal with the insecurity with courage and integrity. Always be aware that however threatening or difficult this situation is, you can only become stronger and more resilient from the experience of understanding and accepting inner darkness."
Let's look within, let's be guided by Spirit, let's be guided by all life here on Earth so that we can learn to give to ourselves so that we may give to others. A key component of this is the ability to face and overcome our own fears, for we must understand that the most fearful thing we have is our own imaginations. If we face challenges as opportunities then we can learn, grow, and work real magic into our lives.
Speaking of magic tomorrow, we leave on our shakedown or maiden voyage in Serenity. I've been somewhat nonchalant about the trip and can even go so far as to say the I was nervous and fearful of the trip. When I drove over to the storage lot to pick her (Serenity) up I was wondering to myself what the heck I was doing. However, once I unlocked the van and put the few items away inside I was feeling quite good about it all. The only nerves coming from driving on metro Vancouver roads but we made it back home to the condo and she is now safely parked on the street waiting for us to get started tomorrow.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
Last night we saw our last movie at VIFF, a compilation of international short movies, all worth the evening out. We then had a spicy yet mild meal at the Noodle Box on Hastings before heading home. I showered and relaxed a short bit before crawling into bed and a good night's sleep.
Spirit Is and yesterday's Tarot Energy is "1 The Shaman: You may hear the beat of a drum or the song of the wind. It may be the dancing of light on water or the midnight barking of the fox, but whatever awakens your desire to return to the wild, the Shaman in you is ready for initiation into the mysteries. This may manifest itself in the form of a desire to study esoteric science or philosophy and apply what you learn to the world. It may involve travel for the sake of gaining confidence and experience. But however the desire to begin a new spiritual chapter emerges, you are now in an emotional and intellectual position to bring forth real change in your life for the benefit of everyone. This process of focusing, mediating and applying wisdom from the otherworld to everyday reality is the true work of the Shaman."
