I met an angel yesterday at a swap meet.
His name is Bob Carr and he is the proprietor of Sky Village Theater Swap Meet in Yucca Valley, CA and he is also the creator of the Crystal Cave.
Bob and the Crystal Cave unexpectedly blew me wide open with the cave’s crystal resonance and Bob’s beautiful eyes and spirit that communicated abundant love and simpatico in an instant. Both left me shaken and near tears the moment I stepped into his shine and is why I have included Bob in The Nature Of Refuge.
When you meet angels and absorb what they have to teach, you do not in return reject and turn away from their mirror, you say, “Thank You” and report back what they had to say.
Bob is not a woman. I had intended many things with the inception process of this project and had come to the conclusion that I wanted to hear what women had to say more than men as it seems to me that they’ve had their turn at the microphone long enough and it was time for the women to take precedence with their voices. And I still feel this way but what Bob and his sweet, white light showed me was that there is an open door everywhere and he opened the specific door to me to include a man’s story of seeking sanctuary when they present their extraordinary selves to me; once in a great while, a magic man appears who’s story is worth my attention in this context.
Bob is one of these men and my gratitude and joy in meeting and sharing our selves and time together is boundless, I’m using all these big expansive words without much story in describing how meeting Bob made me feel, I would like the video and the clips speak for themselves but I can give a little context of my own.
I have my personal experience with seeking sanctuary and achieving refuge on Orcas Island for past two years before I embarked on the road and this project a few months ago. I experienced an abrupt spiritual awakening that felt like it came out of the blue and into my soul and shook all of me to my core those two years ago. It was initially terrifying and it eventually fascinated me and my journey through that transformation and my continual adventure with my now, hyper aware self compelled me to create and execute this project to begin with.
So as I explore with other women in our country their personal experiences with seeking sanctuary and feeling unsafe and how they have traversed that shadow landscape, I am furthering my own spirit education and the abundant opportunity to transcend human connection.
And now, this man, Bob.
For me, meeting and connecting with Bob a few days ago, was connecting with a teacher finally, I have experienced my spiritual transformation without gurus or guides as I am comfortable in teaching myself how to do things. But Bob made it plain, that I was his teacher, that everyday is an opportunity to teach each other to live in love and develop our thought processes towards compassion and joyful connection. To do the joyful learning work together.
Watch Bob and listen, he has much to teach. Bob understands pure joy, its simplicity, its depth. The hard roads we travel to circle back and beat our heads on old walls that never existed to begin with. Bob understands how we fight our selves with blindness and all we need to do is slow down, relax, and open our eyes. We are already here, we are at the banquet and have been our whole lives.

We are all safe, there is nothing to fear in reality, but Bob also understands the strength of time and how long it takes for us as community of life force, to go on this journey together. Its taken a long time to get to here and it will take that much longer to return to the beginning, where the simplicity of life joy and all that we could want, resides.
Meet Bob, Today’s Angel, this is his truth, our truth.
This is the nature of refuge.
