Between the Worlds

Awoke at the Building Bridges homeless shelter in Ukiah, California December 16th, 2022 Anno Domini, with the mind reciting the Catholic Hail Mary prayer; none the worse for a previous evening stop at The Forest Club, having enjoyed a couple of pints of Sierra Nevada's Hazy plus a shot of 12 yr. old Glenfiddich, Also played an assortment of tunes on the juke box. Left early because we could not get through to the shelter by phone, due to their faulty phone system, and thus did return there by 8PM so as not to get "rolled up", and have to move out of doors. Morning ablutions were followed by a walk to Plowshares dining room for a free pork lunch. Left there at noon and walked to the Ukiah Co-op for more coffee. That propelled me onward to the Ukiah Public Library. Somewhere in all of that, the mind's activity changed to chanting Om Namah Shivaya, which was serene and appropriate with the surrounding hills and the bright sunny day. This chant from the Sanatana Dharma has huge magical properties, and will thoroughly cleanse karma. In the way of Integral Yoga, in which "paths are many and the truth is one", the jiva has a lot to work with. Given the incalculable amount of chaos on the planet earth presently, plus the propensity for the humanity to rival "worms in excretia", one having a full array of spiritual tools in the one's divine tool bag is essential. Although the Anderson Valley Advertiser Publisher this morning encouraged me to live in Mendocino County permanently, I had to respond that 1.money and 2. housing WITHOUT OBLIGATION is a requirement. Anybody interested in my offering to stay on here longer term, please send money to Paypal.me/craiglouisstehr, and let me know when I can leave the homeless shelter for a more socially integrated housing situation, at Building Bridges (707) 234-3270. I am willing to make a commitment, but I have to receive something, other than the world's problems. Is that clear? Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, as the earth spins around the sun! ~Peaceout~ Craig Louis Stehr Email: craiglouisstehr@gmail.com Telephone Messages: (707) 234-3270 Send Money Here: Paypal.me/craiglouisstehr Snail Mail: P.O.
