Moving to a new blog

Sneezer wants all the faithful blog readers, Jerry, to know that the maya daily intention has moved to http://tonesandintentions.blogspot.com/. Thank you.

I hung out with Kayla last night. She was active. They got a new puppy, a chocolate lab named cocoa, but none of the photos turned out clear. she was active.

Tone 4 - Ik

Tone Four (Kan)

stability

Ik (eek) key meaning: adaptation, the mind and communication. Northern energy

communication and circulation of thoughts and ideas.

This day is like a fresh breath of life. There is communication and sharing of information today. Tone Four adds stability hence everyone listens and shares alike. Decisions can be made with balance and detachment. Things may go different than you plan but you will adapt easily to any different situation that arises.

It's a great day for oration!

Tone 3 Imix - Alligator/Crocodile

sorry for the late entry, is it tomorrow already?


Tone three, Ox

Tone three sheds light and perspective to difficult situations.
It is balance, activity, joy. It is a day to forget the problems of life.

Day Sign Imix (i-meesh), primal creation and personal power

Energetic, practical creation, primal passion, dominating, nurturing, instinctive, sensitive, private

With the brewing storm that started a few days ago some problems may be coming to the surface. Imix protects with primal instincts. A certain amount of privacy will help to bring balance within when dealing with difficult situations.

Alternatively one may be very active and hardworking today but with a positive attitude. This gives space for creating with true passion, initiating new ideas. An energy that radiates from the east.

Wednesday 25th of June, 2008 Tone 2 - Ahau

Ka Tone Two

duality and balance between opposing yet complementary elements light/dark, male/female, good/bad, etc.

Ruled by the Aztec god of Earth.

Ahau is the 20th day sign and the completion of this cycle. It has a visionary southern energy.

This is the final cycle of evolution, the highest potential of all life.

Tone two accentuates the duality of Ahau, Sun or Light and finding the balance of opposites within ourselves. You may have brilliant solutions for the advancement of projects or ideas but may find it difficult for others to relate to them. Artistic and athletic abilities are at an all time high. There is potential for understanding great wisdom that will help in any leadership role. Be patient with those who do not see things quite the same way as you might. While many ideas may be of a grand scale, think realistically on how you may be able to carry them out.

Tuesday 24th of June, 2008 Tone 1 - Cauac

Beginning again with Tone One, Hun
Ruler: Xiuhtecuhtli Aztec god of fire and time.
the beginning

The day sign is Cauac, Rainstorm/Storm.

This feminine energy gives life, security and warmth while the storm plays it's drama outside.

There is a vast amount of knowledge to be gathered today, but with all the information coming in it may be a difficult day to focus on minor details or just one task. The One tone included makes it almost impossible to finish one thing today.

If we choose to make the best of this new cycle of intentions, we should approach not only today but the next twenty days with the faith and curiosity of a child. Seek new experiences, be assertive and ask questions. Understand and be thankful that all challenges presented to us are actually an opportunity for growth.

Monday 23rd of June, 2008 Tone 13 - Etznab

Oxlahun Tone Thirteen

Ascension and completion of all things.

Ruled by the Aztec supreme deity of creation Ometeotl/Omecinatl

Etznab meaning flint, knife or obsidian. The mirror of reality for all.

Today we rise above the rubble to see truth from the false right from wrong. The Archangel Michael is associated with flint in that his sword of justice cuts through good and evil. There is an honest and direct way of speaking today and an innate way of seeing through others peoples guises and hidden intentions. But like the sword that cuts both ways, be aware of using your insight and communications for the betterment of the situation and not as a weapon. Opinions are strong today, use yours for the protection and defense of others. In doing so we rise above our natural response of defensiveness to the higher level of justice and sacrifice for the good of all. It is also a day of deep introspection helping to complete goals, ideas and evolution to the next level.

Sunday 22nd of June, 2008 Tone 12 - Caban

La Ka Tone Twelve

understanding and communication

Aztec god of the morning star who rules the just before dawn.

Caban, Earth is an introspective energy

powerful creativity and insight into ancient wisdom

Tone 12 La Ka in combination with Caban, Earth or Earthquake, seems to be an internal, cerebral time.

Twelve has a vibration of understanding and communication, while Caban is deeply introspective. Thought process and all it's elements are intellectualized to bring certain ideas that may be scattered into a cohesive whole, for the betterment of existing structures. It is a good time to change bad habits or to offer your help to someone who may be trying to.

Do watch out for a bad temper, sensitivities can run high!

As we move along the calendar we notice our perspective becomes wider, enabling a broader understanding, creating deep resonance with the earth and her forces to serve the whole.


It was Gemma's birthday today and she invited me to lunch with her and her boys. Afterwards I walked past the Grote Markt and came upon the Haarlem Cultuur podium beside the Grote Kerk. Normally on Saturday it is a busy market. There were young dancers on the podium. I believe it was young turkish girls in traditional dress doing a traditional dance.

While snapping the above photo I felt something hit the side of my leg and when I looked down I saw this little cherub. cute kid.

Further along the Grote Houtstraat, the main shopping drag, a very decent band was playing. They were really good actually and had a pretty full sound with just the two of them.


I have no idea if this is a real instrument or one he fashioned himself but it sounded amazing.


This is from the funny felt store called Jannson i believe. It is a bag made of aluminium can tops. It's shiney.
