8/25/11 The changing and important emotional lives of men
It used to be that I wouldn't pay much attention to men's feelings--either they didn't seem (to me) to have much, or they seemed to favor that one--anger, and I had to duck. Lately, I've been witness to a wider and wider range of sensitivity, self-reflection and tenderness from the men in my life. Recently helped a teen young man with a range of feelings over a breakup. At work, had a man dissolve to tears on the phone with me (among other things) and I had to apologize for being too harsh. Also, men my age on the dating scene seem to be reeling from the feelings they have around rejection and dishonesty from...women (??!!) they've encountered, and setting up certain boundaries for themselves. Go men!! Have those feelings!! Talk amongst yourselves!! Figure them out!! We can help each other!!

Each step I take, braiding in the various colored strands of my life, each step I take in fulfillment of my own personal journey is weaving us all together in a whole, each step resounds throughout creation, brings us all closer to fulfillment, to wholeness. Each step I take that brings me pleasure and joy, in service, is an ecstasy. Each step is pure love.

8/13/11 The opportunity to use some rusty skills
You are just wandering through life, more or less following your path, when all of a sudden, you hear a request for help from someone. She needs help with something, and you realize that you have just the right skills for the job, but it would require reaching back through time, and dusting off the tools in a remote section of your brain. What do you do? Reach and dust and help. That's what. The other day someone requested that a little blurb be translated into French, and I just jumped right in. Wishing I had more descriptive language, finding that online dictionaries and idiomatic translations serve well. Now I'm translating a blurb a day, at about 40 minutes a pop, getting some experience in something I love to do.

8/6/11 Telling your wishes to the elements, to the trees
(Can't remember where I read this?)... There is another way of networking besides the WWW. It is all of the elements and elementals of nature. Simply tell your wishes, your desires for networking, for healing, for connection, to these beings, to a being in nature that you feel connected to already. These beings will spread word for you, bringing your desires back to you, to fruition. Talk with Gaia. She responds. I know, it's a book by James Endredy--2012 Beyond, or something.
I told 3 trees of a certain type of person I wanted more of in my life, and within a week or two, now have an abundance of that type of friendship. Activity partners.

08-05-11 Nightmares turning into dreams come true.
Nightmares of the past are coming back to haunt in deliriously delicious ways. No, not evil--there are others who do that, and I have done that in the past. Monsters and broken wrecks of ships and houses and buildings are showing up in nightly dreams and daydreams, with these beautifully haunting repairs. Lines drawn across where walls and doors were missing in buildings. Pixie dust. Shimmery orange. Gold. Instead of flimsy curtains or drapes, the windows are coated with this shimmery stuff. Beauty, iridescent nacre, only of light. People who were menacing are showing beneficent selves behind ogre masks, things that were monsters are dropping their cloaks, revealing partners in healing. All is glowing, all is healing, all is beautiful.

All is glowing, all is healing, all is beautiful.
