Clearest, Dearest, Nearest You,
since my house burned down
i now own a better view
of the rising moon
– Masahide
Kali, Shiva and Pele threw quite a hot party at our place! Since our Happy home retreat burnt to the ground on March 16th, we have been literally going through the fire. It is stunningly-charred and graphic, resembling a skeleton.
As you may know, this is a classic, ancient and excellent way to have a close encounter with death. We trust that although the evidence has yet to fully appear, this must be some flamboyant kind of mysterious miracle in the making.
Friends are graciously hosting a fun-raising fund-raiser since our insurance company adjuster claims that we are considerably underinsured. Thus far, the insurance company has paid only half of the funds required to rebuild our home.
The Happy Oasis Retreat went up in flames in the gorgeous Granite Dells of northern Arizona  around the time I was snorkel-swimming solo in beautiful Baja California of Mexico aside my slowly-cruising, snuggle puppy of a giant friend who happened to be a 35′ long Whaleshark.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, a reminder that there is yet mystery in the world. What a fierce reminder that impermanence is the nature of our delicate existence. Moreover, fire is powerful. Death is ever near.
I hope you will bliss us with your delightfulness at this “Celebration of Home, Community, Unity & You!” which will be a very special community gathering.

Have you noticed how everything seems possible in the month of May?
At dawn on the first of May, in the Spirit of Celtic-Californian Merriment, we danced the May Pole Dance answering the bugle’s call that beckoned us at sunrise to join our neighbors gathering in the sunbeams beneath a giant Oak and Redwood Forest above a singing creek in the secret garden courtyard of a whimsical old mansion festooned with relics and painted with gorgeous pastel poetry in special spots along its rocky, viney, mossy, mirrored walls.
A little madness in the spring
is wholesome even for the king
– Emily Dickinson
Wearing silk blossom dresses while adorned with fragrant floribundant wreaths and tassels, giggling girls played violins from tree house balconies, while others tossed rose petals upon the May Pole Queens who sat below on pastel silken thrones while sharing wisdom songs and wishes with us May Pole Dancers.
Next, aside glad old-fashioned folk music and May Pole Dancing, fresh strawberries and icecream were shared for a feral spring breakfast feast amidst peels of laughter, delighted dogs, morning doves and dancing butterflies. “Dancing is the poetry of the foot,” wrote Dryden. Not that butterflies have feet. But we do!
Please send me your last pair of shoes worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart.
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
May you be dancing with all that you do. Afterall,
The destiny of a nation depends
on the dances of its people. – Moliere
Happy Health Tip: Energetically earn every meal. Before eating each meal, exercise!
Happy Couples’ Love Tip: Right now, we are celebrating our 30th Monthiversary. We wondered, “Why commemorate our Love for only one day per year?” What a very silly notion. Even once per month is far too miserly when it comes to Love. Instead of having to remember an arbitrary date and save up our loving for that one special day, we simply celebrate the entire monthiversary long. Which monthiversary could you be celebrating today with your beloved best buddy be it with human, a dog, or a tree, for a few examples?
Meanwhile, Consider Visiting Us This Summer here in Arizona’s Gorgeous Granite Dells…
Good News: This Lake Magnificence (above) is still magnificently located a just short gorgeous hike or bike from our home in the Granite Dells. It’s superb for kayaking and sailing.
Plus, the essentials of the Happy Oasis Retreat were untouched by the fire – the cliff dwelling, pool, hot tub, hammock, beach, fire circle, pond, fruit trees and canyon views are still alive and wonderfully well. This summer, we will be donning our carpenters’ belts, tearing down, then the remains, then building a new community dream home with your generous assistance. Come visit us, call and email to check out where your generous donations are going.
Please Donate whatever amount you feel inspired by Paypaling Heavenly@RawSpirit.com to help us rebuild this Happy Oasis Community Retreat into something even more beautiful!
May you proceed from your Highest Wildest Dream outwad.
I will be with you as you do.
Truly,
Happy (anyway!)
