December 1, 2020

  

Greetings:

   I have been dumfounded to have come to a fearful intimidated stage of reality in my greater world's daily experience at an age of seniority that should be spent enjoying grace and repose. 

   What was all that curious and courageous learning and practicing and discovery of shaping one's personal existence about if an invisible threat can dominate with a certain chance of peril?

   Oh, those poor people out there suffering. Ah, the loyal mass of helpers and givers. The shock but not surprise at the greedy pushy, hateful desperate grabbing and accusing, blaming and rejecting ones who carry dis-ease. We are in the vivid reality of a universal Chance to Choose. 

   And now, may the real me please stand up and make a move toward self (expanded) improvement and stability? Will our homes be there tomorrow or will we be victims of the social rush to evict? Can our families stay well or must we navigate the medical morass to heal? Is there enough money (accepted symbol of energy exchange) to buy food? 

   It is not What we choose, but How we get through a bigger than life challenge. Make it through the labyrinth of possibilities, outcome ever unknown. 

   Who really cares? Yes, we are still here but the fun is missing. Turn this page. Will, Thought, Feeling, Action may be out of balance but we are inherently intact and have unlimited regeneration abilities (they say). Get going. Stand up. Refuse to fight the Other. Create anew. We mark the pathways with our souls. 

   If this is all 'the way it is supposed to be' for our mutual evolution, perhaps we have been reading the wrong book. 

All Love, Ann

Weaving Time


   It has been a long time since I have written here; so much is changing, the old doesn't seem pertinent but for sentiment or survival lessons learned.

   With distancing and self isolating, closing commerce, re-grouping, establishing protections and health techniques, the surface of living is an emerging conundrum. What? How? When? Why? Huh?

   A pandemic? Social unrest and human rights revolution? A struggle to understand lies versus imaginative projection? What is this 'Shift' in the human reality we are experiencing? Beyond a 'conscious evolution' predicted to bring balances to our extremes, this is a big feet-on-the-ground upheaval and life-skill challenge. We, of the safe middle class, are affected at the base of our lifestyles.

   Being a gardener has taught me to see in terms of seasons, years, decades. Being a parent taught me to see that everything is a stage.

   This stage in human culture and perhaps civilization itself is a frightening reality for those who treasure calm and organized living. We learned about war and famine, pestilence and epidemics and thought our goodness and willingness to make things better would do so. Haha as they say on social media. LOL. Surprise: we are all experiencing what the minority and victims have known. We are an entity of connection and dependence. IT is US. Now what?
