Declaration #...
I Am Love and it is my duty as a human being to seek Joy and Connection in my Life.
I want people to experience the amount of love and joy that exist in them. Through my own experience of those things, I want to inspire people to discover it for themselves. I want to connect, feel connected, and help people connect.
I am a beacon of light.

LOVE, JOY, and CONNECTION
This is an exploration. I don't know where it will take me.
A lot happened today. As I was driving to Oceanstone to take part in the Leadership and Emerging Future Workshop, I listen to a song by Ed McCurdy covered by Serenna Ryder called Last night I had the Strangest Dream, and here are the lyrics:
Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream
words and music by Ed McCurdy
Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful pray'rs were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.
I started crying when the song came the part where she said:
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful pray'rs were prayed
I was crying like a mother who had lost her child. Like I was at the funaral of someone I really loved.
I remember I had the same feeling came over me when I cried the day before I left Kauai. It's tremendous longing for what I lost. Having a glimpse of me, remembering how it use to be, that is what makes me weep.
What did I use to be, back when I was five years old? I had no limits for the amount of LOVE and JOY I felt inside and shared with my friends, animals and with nature. I remember being in love with a tree. I remember being one with the forest, dancing under the rain. The smell…
How was the world back in Lemuria? It was fild with LOVE, JOY, and CONNECTION. Those are the things I long for. When I get a glimpse of it, I feel overwhelmed because it is such in small doses in my life compared to the amount that is in me.
I want children to feel the amount of LOVE and JOY that exists in the world, in people, in them selves. I want them to CONNECT with it. That is the environment I want for them to learn in so that there is nothing stopping them for experiencing the greatness that they are.
Learning should be joyful. It should be fun, all the way. For that to be true, there needs to exist no external structure except for the natural rhythm of the child.
At this moment in time, I feel like I want to work with children between the age of 2 and 7.
Working with home schoolers, the parents and the children, would fit really well with my vision of a LifeSpace of JOY, LOVE, and CONNECTION because these parents have already made the choice that they want something different for there children and they could use the inspiration, the invitation to look at education through another lens, one that offer a tremendous amount of space.
Children will benefit from the proximity to nature ( the ocean, the forest) because nature’s rhythm, nature’s way of Being is filed with wisdom and it will allow them to feel there own rhythm, to follow there own pace.
The elements are important to me. They represent a wisdom that I need to tap in. They also provide a sensory experience that is pleasurable and makes me feel connected to something bigger. In nature, surrounded by the elements, I feel safe (most of the time), I feel at home, I feel like everything will be all right.
Children will benefit from the experience of art. The poetic and the esthetic aspect of art. Creation and perception. I believe that through art, my higher self speaks to the world and that I can see other people’s soul through their art.
They will benefit from the exposure to people that are there to see them for the God force that they are and that want to accompany on there experience of LIFE.

The 1st annual
Ideas Festival
December 8-9, 2007
Oceanstone Inn and Cottages, Indian Harbour, NS
Call for papers and other presentations
Great ideas, ideas that bring forth considerable transformation, stem from a moment of brilliance within someone’s personal experience, an instant of perfect synchronicity. In that moment, possibilities open and the future presents itself. This two-day conference is designed to bring passionate thinkers and creators together to share ideas and thoughts on a variety of subjects in order to expand and bring forward personal and collective thinking. The theme of this year’s conference is Visions of Oneness. The division that exists between cultures, research areas and people is diminishing as we recognize more and more that we are all connected and that one person’s thoughts and actions affect another. LifeSpace aims to create an opportunity for more bridges to be built between disciplines and subjects, between old and new perspectives of the world we all share. The more we open ourselves to others, to what is different from us, the more united we become. When people come together with the desire to build a unified world and to make a difference, magic happens. Let us use this power and bring forth genuine transformations towards a future of peace and wellness. Articles and presentations will be proposed for publishing following the conference.
Suggested topics:
-The power of the arts
-Leadership for a new era
-Education of today’s children
-Holistic wellness
Please submit a 200-300 words proposal before September 1st over email at anne@oceanstone.ns.ca. Presentations can have different formats: reading or presenting a paper, a musical presentation, a workshop, a reading of creative work…

L’expérience du sensible. #1: Éclatement de la matière
Voici un poème instantané, un texte qui est survenu à mon esprit comme une dictée divine, alors que je travaille sur une transcription d’une table ronde qui porte sur le sujet du petit poème classique japonais, le Haïku.
Here is a instant poem, a piece that appeared in my mind as if it was a divine dictation, while I was transcribing a round table on the subject of Haïku, a classic form of Japanese poetry.
Sans bruit,
sans mouvement,
comme si tout dort.
Je me vois assise sur moi-même
sans les bras
qui pourraient me retenir.
Jamais de son,
sans caresse.
Un moment de jouissance muette.
Le souffle profond
et long,
s’allonge longuement.
Le fond,
la noirceur de la plaine devant moi.
Un avenir possible,
la montagne probable.
Ce qui me sépare de toi,
de moi, de ce qui me ressemble.
Sans bruit, tu es là,
sans audace,
tu danses dans ma face.
Ta plénitude s’effondre
et jamais je n’oublierai ton regard ce jour-là,
lorsque la lune était bien trop haute.
Saisi au vol,
l’instant de cette explosion interne.
Tout se sépare, se transmute
et redevient autre.
Le travail de créer à partir de rien.
Si bon, si bien.

Sommeil prolongé
Je m’attends à l’enceinte de la porte.
Le sourire large d’espoir,
les mots convaincants.
Le souffle me manque à nouveau.
Je perds l’équilibre
et je bascule dans la noirceur de mon corps.
Les êtres y volent,
s’amusent à trouver un appât,
pour cette fille, fille.
La nuit tombe
je me régale
de la lourdeur de l’ombre.
Je me livre au ciel,
à ce rayon qui me porte vers moi,
porteuse d’espoir d’être comme avant, UN.
Je tire la fleur de soie hors de ton corps.
Je te la présente
mais tu ne la vois guère.
Elle t’apparaît… invisible.
Je monte vers la mer,
mon amie,
cette eau.
La fleur y est,
tranquille, aimante,
désireuse d’embrasser le moment.
J’arrive au bord
je plonge.
Une sensation d’appartenance!
La terre sous mon être
vibre de douleur.
Je ressens la souffrance,
ta souffrance, Gaïa...
