Paris in Spring

We arrived in Paris. Nature is bursting forth, flowers are blossoming. Birds present their compositions with a beauty and vitality that is captivating and enchanting. I feel surprisingly nourished and filled with the quality of life as it surrounds us. It is spring in Paris.

A brief moment in the San Francisco Bay Area

We are in the bay area right now, not exactly resting. We scrambled to work on the changes necessary for the Japanese version of Raylene's book and we finished that in an astounding 8 days.

I keep noticing that the the blog has its faithful group of readers, even though I have not posted much in the last 4 weeks due to lack of time. This continues to surprise me pleasantly.

One of the things that I am truly noticing in this lifestyle of moving from one culture and continent to the other and entering different reality bubbles and matrices in such rapid succession is that as I observe people live in their respective bubbles, most often there is the belief that the bubble that we inhabit... that is the way things are. People seem attached or resigned to living in their bubbles, having great difficulties imagining that it could be radically different if they would only choose so.

Of course, it does take a bit of courage and determination to go and redesign our reality. But, really it is all doable. Life is what you want it to be, if you only hold the focus and start acting toward the image of what you want your life to be.

This requires both inner and outer work, of course. Yet, this blog might just servce as inspiration to realize this. Hopefully it also serves as inspiration for many other lovely aspects of life.

Japan tour

Our Japan tour is coming to a close. So much has happened here. Raylene's book will come out in 2 months, which is amazing. It gives some insight into the breathtaking creative pace here in Japan. Our return to Japan is currently getting scheduled for October and will include a book promotion tour additionally to the workshops, sessions and media events. I believe the upcoming tour will be even more expansive than this one.

We are leaving for San Francisco on coming Wednesday. We will stay there for 10 days and the fly on to Paris.

Cherry Blossom

Yesterday was the peak of the cherry blossom. To be in the middle of this explosion of cherry blossom is rather an experience. It truly is a very uplifting experience that affects the heart, seeks to touch and open it. Sunday morning we went to the Meguro river close to where we are staying. It is completely lined with cherry trees. As it was morning, not many people were there. It was just lovely.(The above picture is from the Meguro river.)

In the afternoon, the same place had turned into one big party. Every tree was a party tent, people had their blankets out, brought food and, let us not forget, brought sake too. Tokyo, and the rest of Japan I would assume, was partying under the cherry trees.
