Biolophilliacs Means Connection

Been busy last couple of days. Been writing, too.  Just haven’t posted yet. Will by later on tonight so sorry for the flood of posts. Where to begin? No one showed for the morning walk today. Missed them yesterday. Went for the walk myself. Did a walk run routine. Light to light, alternating between walking and running. It felt good. Been some time. My ipod sensor is not working and just haven’t spent the time worrying about it

Morning mass was good. Been too long since going in the morning. Not too many times last week as I would have liked, but life stuff happens. Its Easter now. From the flyer, it is from now until May 23. A time of renewal. Sitting in front of Palmdale Square, by the chamber and Aero institute. Can hear the birds chirping and the fountain flowing. Sunroof is open and the sun is warming my face.

Haven’t seen the other cousins lately. Hope they are doing well. Michelle and Bobby are always good and positive. Love looking at their pictures. Very vibrant. Pia don’t know so much, but she seems to live an exciting life. Dodger Opening Day today. Randy, very debonair. Needs help with fundraiser. Mike jiujitsuing. Leilani is interning, studying and being mom. Jason is probably studying.

Bri's got the mohawk action going on. He's rolling. Saw "Searching for Bobby Fisher" and I thought of him Raman, Ramsin, and Uncle Kidog. My chess crew. Something about slamming on the time clock is very. . . ass-kicking.  Rod, Shena, and the kids always have food and shopping. Ron’s tatting and "kutting har". Vince and Chris (don’t know about Eddie) are always whooping ass. Russ and Gem are marrying next month before he deploys. Kim/ Mitch/Audrey don't post too much. Shiela/ Jon are smart. Rarely on from what I gather. Jon, Jill, and Joanne are studying, living, and being a mom. Still learning about Melissa, Mason, Vickie, Jennifer, Bambi, Biranna, Mike, Glenna, Anthony, Maria, Roselyn, and others. Minnie is China, I think.

Who am I missing? Of course, Kev, Luz, and kids. Always with me, never away. I like to keep something’s private, but I love them more than words can say. They are my heart. No, most of my heart. Missing a big part. Anyways, love fills me.

Still learning more about my Dad’s side. Lots have been helping. Roselyn, Maria, Mary, Michelle, Bobby, and everyone. My heart is getting bigger with all this new love and family. Can’t take the place of my missing, but it has opened new places I never known.

Learned briefly while sitting on some porcelain. Read a newsletter from the LA Zoo. The term is Biophille. Basically it say there is an instinctive bond between people and nature. It literally means love of Life. People instinctively go to gardening, hiking, connecting. Biophilia describes "the connections that human beings subconsciously seek with the rest of life. Gotta give credit Edward Wilson for proposing this theory. Just learned I am Biophilliac.

Been going from place learning and exploring connections. Seeing the glory of things all around. In a baseball game. Standing at the start of the MS Walk. On top of vista in the California Poppy Fields. On the drive to Solvang, watching the Sana Ynez River and Chumaca Lake. Sitting at the Chumash Reservation (taking a picture of that tree). In the bad service at Red Viking. In the hello of the Greek food manager. At the front of my car. So much life. So much sun. Eric Fromm called it the psychological orientation. Priest call it the glory of . . . To me its all beautiful.

Maybe, I am compensating for something. Maybe, my eyes got softer. Maybe, its everythings’ everything. If this is an addiction, I really don’t want it to stop. Perhaps, it’s the Flow. It’s Maslow’s self-actualized stage. Feeling a part and an impactor in things I am in and doing. I am just making up new words now. Guess, I am following my maternal instincts of creating. Whatever it is, let it be.

As-Salamu Alaykum. Peace Be With You. Go With God. Have Faith. Trust In the Universe. Good thoughts, good vibrations. Big Smile. With this, I must go be a biophilliac.
