Feeling is the language, the forgotten language. If you understand feeling, you understand the whole.
lt is said of Luqman, one of the wisest men ever born — he is the founder of Yunani medicine — that he would go to plants, to bushes and trees, sit there, feel them, and ask them, “What use can you be put to? What disease can you be helpful in?” It is said that he discovered millions of herbs, just by feeling them. The herb would say, “It will be good if you use me in tuberculosis; I can help.”
This looks like a myth, fiction. But scientists have been at a loss: if this is a fiction, then how did Luqman come to know?
Because whatsoever he knew has been proved by all scientific experiment to be right. And no laboratories such as exist today existed then; not such refined instruments, not at all! If this is a fiction, then a greater problem arises: How did he come to know? And not one or two or a hundred herbs…millions! If he had been experimenting with crude implements then it would have taken at least ten to twenty thousand years for him to discover all that. That seems to be more fictitious. The first fiction seems to be nearer reality…
that he asked.
There is the same story in India also. Ayurveda, the Indian medicine, is based on the same secret. Those secrets were revealed by the plants themselves. But then a language is needed, a language which is universal and not local to humanity.
Feeling is that language. Greek or Arabic or Sanskrit won’t do. No language originating in the mind is divine language. No, the divine language originated in the heart. Feeling is the language.
If you start really feeling, and your heart starts really throbbing with feeling, you can ask a tree, and a tree is always ready to reveal it’s secret. You can ask a bird, and the bird is ready to reveal it’s secret. You can ask existence, and existence is ready to reveal it’s heart.

I am packing for Mexico today… One suitcase already full of Around the World Lookbook gear: eco friendly, handmade, hand crafted, home made, sustainable jewels, shirts, skirts, pants, dresses, bracelets, necklaces, beauty products, sun screen, shoes, accessories… I am overwhelmed at all the love and I can’t WAIT to rock & shoot it all!
First I am staying at the super posh Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills. Marilyn Monroe used to live there for a period of 3 years in the 1950’s and my favorites/mentors/idols Lucille Ball & Mae West also stayed there. I am SO excited to shoot there!!
I thought I’d share with you some of the photos that Kris shot on our last trip to Joshua Tree/Palm Springs. The idea of the Around the World Lookbook was planted during this trip and I’ve gotten such an overwhelming response since that I really can’t stop smiling! I’ve been doing some extra running, lifting and push and pull ups to get my body in shape for some of these exquisite clothes! Despite the tummy burn, I am super satisfied! 🙂
I really feel like the luckiest girl on Earth sometimes. When I was young I used to sketch out and draw out plans like this and I kept them really dear to my heart. To have so many wonderful people, companies and products interested in what I am doing and willing to support me in it is really beyond words sometimes. The fact that in less than a month after we shoot this I will be in Italy shooting and exploring and styling even MORE is almost too much to comprehend!
A big, warm, long thank you to all of you!
Thanks again for making this possible, everyone! Beautiful photos to come! ♥
