“You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.” ~ Thomas Merton
Last night after a rousing game of Hand and Foot, John announced that there was a LOT of water under the kitchen sink. Larry and I sprung into action. I got things mopped up and he was able to finger tighten the elbow joints on the drain that had come completely disconnected. We had a leak previously and insisted the homeowner get a repairman to tend to it. This morning I was writing in my journal:
D: What would you have me know about this house?
V: We know you are feeling that the owner has been rather dismissive and you are wondering about whether or not you want to come back here next season.
D: Yes… these things cross my mind.
V: If you did one of Linda’s spread sheets what might you notice?
D: There are some pros and some cons, and a subtle contraction of not having a place or having something EVEN worse. A fear of loss.
V: It is a heavy feeling in your sacral chakra, and a sinking feeling in your gut?
D: Yes.
V: And can you feel it in your friend who is awaiting results on Wednesday of a breast biopsy she had done on Monday?
D: Yes.
V: Can you feel it in your dear friend who is now on hospice care, or in his beloved wife?
D: No. Not any more.
V: That feeling is impermanent. That feeling is a part of a process.
D: Yes.
V: Read some of the poems your friend, Janice, shared with you on your birthday.
OMG… I begin to read from A Hundred Falling Veils: There’s a Poem in Every Day, by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer.

we are made of—
more energy than matter,
more nothing than something,
more everything than we ever dreamed.

…everything is possible, sweetheart, everything.
Moments later, I open to these words from Neale Donald Walsch for today and read …its not only possible, it is indeed the truth!
