What sort of people have you been communicating with?

Well, the holistic life peeps (almost always). They keep me up to speed on wellness. Like Aris LaTham's hazelnut earth milk recipe (yummy!). Family gatherings sometimes look like a UN summit because my family collects other people that are sometimes damaged. A porcelain-skinned chick who is just free of a bad relationship is crashing at my sister's. We churned some home-made vanilla ice cream which she dubbed "caucasian delight."

I also like to keep in touch with the esoteric knowledge peeps (like chicks in the Tao). They remind me that I am not alone in my views (that have usually been considered odd by most others).

I also had a discussion this weekend with a Christian chick who feels that homosexuality is wrong. She was so adamant about her position and the other non-Christian Aquarian and myself just aren't concerned about what homosexuals are doing. The religious position that the chick chose was that homosexuality interfered with procreation (but, I believe I blogged already that they aren't stopping the heterosexuals from procreating). It was interesting that she held such a different position.

The Bhutanese monks and healers this week were really cool at the folklife festival. The incense was fabulous and I learned about that yak-butter tea and healing herbs. We were taking pictures of monks and they were taking pictures of us!



This year is NASA's 50th birthday and I talked to an astrophysicist about the James Webb telescope (the Hubble replacement) on the National Mall. We talked about the sacred science of mathematics.

Yesterday, I had a conversation over breakfast with 3 girls under 10 years old. I got the skinny on the practice of detention, careers, hair-pulling, teacher behaviors and more.

Right now, I'm in a conversation over tea & coffee about self-love...
