The Lovely Carla and I are lucky to know some really extraordinary people. All walks of life. We had dinner last night with one of the most extraordinary, our favorite L.A. Artist/Clairvoyant Kris. We met at a classic Armenian restaurant just off the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. Just why is it magnificent? Lots of high class shops, lots of tourists from places like Iowa and Wisconsin, I guess.
If you have a hankering for Armenian food, Sayat Nova will not disappoint! Did anyone say "Baba Ghanouj!"
Anyway, we had one of those great, life-affirming conversations. Filled with laughter and love, tinged with the hard lessons of lives lived with eyes wide open. I guess sometimes we think if we close our eyes, things will be simpler, but it doesn't seem to work that way. You can't run, you can't hide. Or you can, but then you spend a lifetime of running and hiding and really don't escape or fool anyone but yourself.
So we talked about politics and families, and our work. But it was all on a much more psychic/energy level. So refreshing. Kris was our meditation teacher when she lived in Chicago and she sees the world through the eyes of a clairvoyant. We learned some great tools from her - how to ground, how "blow a rose," how visualize the world. Anyway, it's hard to convey just how great it was to see her, and talk with her again.
Extraordinary...
