Finding Our Youth, Again ...

in journeying around our world,
in returning home after lifetimes of growing ...

a play-filled awakening which always seems
to be that sun-full, tree-climbing, grass-rolling,
wind-filled, 'first day'!

could it be? immortality ...

how many lifetimes do we process, create, unravel ...

'ere the oneness of our selves AND our global ecology of
four-legged and winged, and wooden-trunked, beloved sisters
and brothers becomes omnipresent, complete, nurturing,
aeternal?

for me, a sleepy childhood at Ojai Elementary, algebra and
'hard-knocks' at Matilija Junior High, father's passing while
at Nordhoff High ... then graduation and off to university
to learn of electronics and astrophysics (and journalism
and media) ... all thanks to a gift of spirit ...

an omnigendered personality ...

these stars overhead, this wilderness surrounding, our
valley/womb/bowl/cup of sacred witness to all creation ...

which the ancient Asians and Polynesians named the
Great Mother Tao ...

and for we, adopted children of the Chumash, has long
been named, 'Goddess Moon'!

So, when to speak of swimming holes, treehouses,
starships, and sealing wax?

When not, in unbounded youth, love of every 'Awha'y
family member?

aka electromagnetism, also known as consciousness,
experience, spirit, the aether:

so many lifetimes, before returning to this valley, this
complete completion of journeying.

Of those lifetimes, I remember, a ballroom dancefloor
in the Ringstrasse of Vienna ... the romance of love, of
invitation to the United Nation's Space Conference, of
meetings with celestials viz. Arthur Clarke, Hans Mark,
and so many others.

The internship in the California State Senate, membership
in the National Space Club founded by Werner Von Braun,
the idea of my legislation for the US Space Station Program,
inclusion in the Who's Who of the Frontiers of Science
and Technology.

The decade of study at Berkeley and the Space Sciences
Laboratory ... and a whole universe of plasma and astro-
physics ... bookshelf upon bookshelf ... researcher upon
researcher ... all to soak up in a child's infinite heartmind ...
while blessed to learn to solder together the circuit boards
of satellites ... run the ionospheric data through the
mini-computers of the '70s ... drive all over Silicon Valley
getting the parts processed and brought back to the
lab for the International Sun Earth Explorer probe.

More than a decade at Stanford and in Silicon Valley,
writing Space Daily for three years, taking graduate physics
to post-graduate physics ... then collaborating with all the
pioneer physicists worldwide to publish The Undiscovered
Physics ... including the Structure of The Atomic Nucleus:

Then the years in Aotearoa, New Zealand, the Land of the
Long White Cloud. The two years of the Millennium Radio
Show, the publication of the Spaceplane Equation, the 3D
designs of the scramjets leading up to the X49s, the video
editing studio at Waikato University where the physics and
aerospace videos were produced, and the fifty graphic issues
of Warpnine and Lightnine for Nexus Magazine distributing
in print and worldwide internet the truth of the simplicity
and completeness of our divine world of electric stimulation,
magnetic motivation, electrodynamic creation.

The summers in the Alps of Japan, climbing to the mountain-
top shrines, walking down the stream and river-courses,
pitching-in with the family rice planting and harvesting,
the Noh Theatre, the Spirit Festivals, the ten thousand years
of Shinto and Animist storytelling and archaeology.

A life renewed from above and below, a resonance of
sub- and super-harmonies, octaves. Karmic cycles
embraced and transcended.

That you and I -- and a valley of thousands, and a sphere of
billions -- could chose to return to our childhood, our homes,
and climb a tree again.

Singing 'thank you' my sisters, my brothers.

Where our collective song, our hearts,

have taken wing ...

Home is certainly where the heart is. Whether one is fourth generation Ojai or have been here a matter of months, many call Ojai "home" with a passion not found for many other places in the world.
