Speedo #2 and the backyard pets

Miss Lucky showed up at our gate right the day we move into this house called villa 5 Pandino in Pointe Noire. It was raining hard the night before and the next morning we adopted miss Lucky as our pet. She has been with us for more than three years now. She is very intelligent. Now she can hear our voice and can response to our call when she feels like it.
Today I got another little land turtle miss Speedo . She reminds me of our first green turtle we got from the Chinese
piano teacher in Oakland. The kids call her Speed. These littles ones has nothing to do with the tortoise in the
Aesope tale , the hare and the tortoise. Both little baby turtles crawl and climb at a speed of lightning. They run on
the ground so fast that my kids name them Speed. Too bad we were too careless and our first Speed past away
before we can see it full grown.
Now we have this little Speed#2. The kids did not get to meet her yet. I want to send the photo of cute little Speed #2 to all of them today. How these turtles remind me that idea , value , perception and belief can change. Everything changed every moment. How many times do I have to remind myself. For example ,my belief or general belief that turtle are slow. Look at these little Speed and I have to change my idea. The day Speed # 2 came to our house. I put her in an enclosed area. And went inside the house to go to the bathroom. When came out she’s already climbed up
The corner of the enclosed area and ready to escape. I need to put under surveillance and did not dare to leave her in the unsupervised area in the garden. She is too tiny to be there and we will never find her back should she escape from the enclosure.

Miss Speed#2 was a pleasant surprise for me for the day but the best is yet to come. After putting Speed in a safe place I went out to pick up John. He has been nursing Nichole, who was sick with malaria, over the last few days. John had kindly volunteer to help me with my blog. I am so excited to have this blog up and running the way I want. It turn out that John spent the whole late afternoon not only patiently setting up the blog but solve my web site problem and clean up quite a lot of junk in my computer. The task involve several calls to Tou in Bay area at 7.45AM California time I only tried three times and Tou miraculously picked up the phone. Handing the phone to John and hear the two young guys talk computer language that completely beyond me was so much fun and entertaining. We even manage to send the whole web site to Luann and set up everything with network solution. We made so much progress in so short a time. It was a Godsend or what. After this, ordeal to me, a snap of a finger for John, we have a Friday light diner together with Franklin and Nichole who managed to to eat a few bites. My husband was so excited to find out that John came from Kinshasa and they have all kids of discussion about the different sites in the Belgian Congo that they both know very well. After that we spend the rest of the Friday night listen to John’s piano music.

John left the next day after joining us for drumming and playing a few guitar songs for us. I still humming ‘ All my loving ‘and some songs that I like from last night. I don’t know the name but it starts It’s not time to make a change such relax take it easy. You are young that’s your false there so much you have to know find the girl settle down iF you want you can marry look at me I am old but I am happy. …..

These past two weekends have been very musical to me with the visit of the Seth Sharp last week and John this week. Thinking of the blessings I received while meditation everyday at the same spot in the house. I have been trying to write down the sensation. It was difficult to express the surge of sensation I experience during meditation the Guru , in a form of CD voice even suggest drawing but now I know better. I want to sing that.

Yes , I idea and belief change again. The belief about singing has been changed and what express the closest to my sensation of meditation so far is elaborated in the song ‘Across the Universe”

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pool of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
JAI GURU DEVA OM
Nothing gonna change my world (3)

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes.
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
JAI GURU DEVA OM
Nothing gonna change my world(3)

Sound of laughter shades of earth are ringing through my open view
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe.
JAI GURU DEVA OM
Nothing gonna change my world(3)

I just realize the word JAI , GURU, Deva , and OM.
Jai is like hail, or Chaiyo in thai meaning Cheers in a spiritual way. Guru is great teacher.Deva is angle or light beings. OM is primordial sacred sound used a lot in Mantra and yoga.
It has been so many years since I hear this song but now it make so much sense and have so much profound meaning to me. I am glad my husband did not get modernized too quickly and still keep the 33-45 records. It is very old fashion to be using the record when every one else are using CD but nothing gonna change my world, nothing gona change my world, nothing gona change my world……
So much of the new paradyme which at times will become old replacing by another paradyme.
And here is the vibration of what Africa has offered to me so far.
