I am back in Seattle since the Summer Solstice and my birthday in mid-June. The weather here in Seattle has been absolutely FABULOUS since I’ve returned. Some good magic must have followed me.

My first impulse after getting home off of the ship was to sleep a very, very long time, then to crawl out of bed late in the morning and walk out into my mother’s lovely garden. I laid my back down in the grass and let the sunshine envelop me. Then I became so aware of what I hadn’t had the chance to cherish for the past four and a half months – the beautiful sounds and smells of life on land. The wind blowing through the trees was exquisite. The fly buzzing around my head made me laugh. And the smell of the wind with so many stories that it carried to me was indescribable. All of this was so refreshing and intoxicating and down-right wonderful, I laughed until my belly was sore and laid there in silence afterward for quite some time. Bliss.

So indeed, I am here in Seattle and would love to share stories of my last quest before I leave again. There is a lot to sort through here in Seattle before I’m back aboard a ship around August 12th. I’m likely to be in Seattle until that time. If you are in the area please call me or email me so we can get together. I would love to see you.

AND. . . .SAVE THE DATE next Sunday, July 16th at 5:30 pm

I’ll be pulling pictures and stories together to share that evening. Let’s plan on finger food and drinks and good socializing. Location will be announced in the next couple days (someplace in Seattle). I’ll jump in with stories and pictures at around 6 pm.

The theme is QUEST. The past 8 months have been a quest for me and I would love to share some amazing experiences and stories from what feels like a world away. Come with a story about your own story of a QUEST and we’ll re-write the Grail Tales together!

Here’s some photos to share right now.

Dear Friends and Family:

I just received a generic letter from a friend regarding a movie release this weekend. The movie is The Peaceful Warrior. I read this book 10 or so years ago. At that time it really shook me up and openned my eyes to how dynamic and amazing our lives can be if we choose to live them in a trully conscious manner.

I can not attend the openning weekend since I’ll be on ship. However, would you be willing to go if you are in one of the release cities? Inspirational movies like this are rarely made or distributed by Hollywood. So I’d love to do what I can to assist in casting a vote for more to be made. Profitability on openning weekend is one key determinant.

If you can help – many thanks.

Linda

From Peak Potentials:

Say “Yes!” with your presence!

“Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It’s for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation…is lukewarm tea, the devil’s own brew,” so says Dan Millman in his remarkable semiautobiographical novel “The Way of the Peaceful Warrior.”

Over 25 years ago Millman used the Warrior archetype to define a powerful, action-oriented, almost mystical attitude towards life that became a classic and inspired a whole generation to seek a deeper purpose in life. Now Millman’s book has finally been turned into a major Hollywood feature film: “The Peaceful Warrior” starring Nick Nolte, Scott Mechlowicz and Amy Smart.

“The Peaceful Warrior” is not just another movie—its popularity has the potential to literally change lives. However, feature films that address deep issues are often shunned by theatre owners and distributors for fear that there is not a sufficient audience. Like any business, the bottom line is what counts and the lenght of the run of a film is determined by the ticket sales at the box office on the first weekend following a movie’s release. For “The Peaceful Warrior” that weekend is June 2-4.

Yes, we can make a difference! Yes, we can say “This is the kind of film we want to see.” Yes, we can change the world simply by showing up! Plan to see “The Peaceful Warrior” during its West Coast premiere in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Monica, San Diego, Phoenix, Tempe, Portland and Seattle on the first weekend it opens.

Encourage at least 10 other people to do the same by forwarding this message to friends and family. Better still: Invite a group of friends to a “Peaceful Warrior Night” at the Movies sometime between June 2nd and 4th for a truly positive, inspiring and beautifully acted film.

Comments from advance screening:

“A beautifully crafted and enormously entertaining film. See it and it will impact the course of your life forever.”—Tony Robbins

“When you hear the truth, it sounds familiar. Like seeing a reflection of something you already possess. This film is that clear and simple reflection. I enjoyed every moment.”—Jim Carrey

“A stunning and extraordinary film. Watch it and be transformed.”—Eckhart Tolle (Author of “The Power of Now”)

Synopsis:

Dan, is a popular young man with a passion for athletics. Little does Dan realize that his world will be turned upside down after meeting an old man who runs the local service station and seems to possess unusual, almost magical powers. Stunned by his abilities, Dan begs the old man, whom he calls “Socrates,” to teach him his secrets.

Socrates guides Dan to a whole new ideology—one that values consciousness over intelligence, and strength in spirit over strength in body. In order to succeed, Dan must somehow let go of all of his expectations—and simply live in the now.

Nick Nolte gives a stellar performance as the gruff, spiritual warrior who turns adversity into life-affirming lessons—all with understated humor.
