Keeping cool on our way to LA ... here's the word for the SF crew: 
my fingernails are dirty 
from pulling petals off 
thousands of flowers 
over the last few weeks 
fingertips yellow from 
the musky-smelling marigolds and 
I just can't seem to get them clean 
and I'm sure we're probably not 
drinking enough water 
and we ate lunch today at 4pm 
because our delivery guy disappeared 
and yesterday we drove 8 hours 
shoving ice cubes down our shirts
because somewhere near Seattle 
our a/c broke and 
when we got to California 
it rose to 108 degrees 
so the windows rolled themselves down 
and the wind roared in our ears 
sweat dripping down 
the center of our backs
and when we got to San Francisco 
we literally cheered 
the drop in temperature 
gave us such a relief 
and I bet all of you can relate
to this crazy lifestyle ~ 
we push ourselves 
because we care 
and sometimes good enough 
is beyond excellent 
because it's not really what we do 
it's how we do it and 
the amount of love we pour into it 
this city has always been 
so good to me ~
I've collected flowers 
from Marin, Point Reyes and the Redwoods 
it's such a magical place 
and it is here that 
I am always reminded that 
we must give ourselves credit
for the being-ness that 
lies behind the doer 
the reason we do so much 
is because we care so much 
and the one that 'is' 
just 'is' without expending any effort at all 
is so very precious ... it's that presence
that watchfulness 
the one that's listening
the one that's feeling ~ 
you are a timeless, powerful love bomb 
capable of vast amounts of compassion
and tenderness
with a capacity to 
heal bodies + hearts 
cherish yourselves 
nurture each other 
and transform the world 
with your love.
