...do you ever feel as though every corner you turn, every door you open/close, every time you even open your eyes there is a big wall of stagnation holding you back from purpose?  2007 has felt like that kind of a year for me and I have been in conversation where the mood has been similar for others too.  It is always all in good course, and sometimes stagnation is illuminating, yet bottom line I feel agitated/impatient, and perhaps lacking faith in some regards, if nothing more than to propel me further into connection as the dimming OF IT catches my attention and then I long to ride the wave of purity found in balance.

Does anyone out there also feel a HUGE shift in the core of the Earth - brewing waves of magnanimous change?  Lately, at night, I am restless in the core of my being, feeling how I contribute to the pain of the world, and also to the love.  The back and forth can be crazzzy making.  The feeling of being on the 'edge of something' that never quite seems to unfold is an interesting trap because it is all a part of the unfolding, just seems as though some parts are easier to digest than others.  It may have something to do with passing into my seventh 7 year cycle. 

Remembering to breathe...
peace in, peace out

...There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs.  And when the lambs whisper among themselves, "These birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever is the opposite of a bird of prey must be good?"  there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument - though the birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, "We have nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb."
