This being human
is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival,
A joy, a depression, a meanness,…
SEE More: some momentary AWARENESS
comes as an unexpected visitor.

WELCOME and ATTEND them ALL!

Even if they are a crowd
of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty
of it’s furniture, still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some
NEW DELIGHT ♥

The Dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet
them at the door LAUGHING, and invite them in.
BE GRATEFUL for whoever comes, because
each has been sent as A GUIDE
FROM BEYOND. Welcome difficulty.

Learn the alchemy True Human Beings know;
the moment you ACCEPT what troubles you’ve been given, THE DOOR OPENS. WELCOME difficulty as a familiar comrade. JOKE with torment brought by the FRIEND.

Sorrows are the rags of old clothes
and jackets that serve to cover, and then
are taken off, that undressing, and
the beautiful naked body
underneath,

is the SWEETNESS that comes after grief.

Raw Alchemy has teamed up with Leafy Greens Cafe (a vegan, vegetarian restaurant with a health shop attached http://www.lgcafe.org). We are open on a Saturday and Sunday for a scrumptious buffet lunch with gourmet raw food and four tasty cooked dishes. I intend to do some specialized workshops, as we have a great space and are surrounded by organic gardens – what more could one want! As soon as we have agreed a couple of dates I will let you know when and what.

I have also been working on my own website and although it’s yet a sprout so to speak, I would like to share it with you, please visit http://www.rawalchemy.org.

Last but not least I have a very exciting day coming up called OUR TRUE HERITAGE DAY on FRIDAY 24th SEPTEMBER a public holiday. Please see attached invite. It’s going to be amazing as I have the incredible Afro-Indigenous Fusion band called SANKOFA coming to play at Leafy Greens. The name “Sankofa” is an Akan (Ghanaian vernacular) word that means, “We must go back and reclaim our past so we can move forward; so we understand why and how we came to be who we are today”.

I love it when my friend’s come on radio, here’s Yasmin talking about her passion pilates.

My favourite movie of the year so far is Inception and Leonardo Dicaprio’s role in it is truly amazing.

Christopher Nolan blew me away with his imagination and to have the stellar cast to deliver.

The latest news about this actor is a restraining order he’s got preventing Livia Bistriceanu, a woman who claims to be carrying his child near him.

Eish, the price of fame
