• THE WORLD’S GREATEST NOVEL HAS YET TO BE WRITTEN…but, by whom ?
  

  that a horseshoe crab was all but Under my feet. It’s spiny tail facing menacingly upward warning me to come no further. as I bent over to get a better look at this prehistoric beast, I noticed something shiny on the mid section of his tail. I bent down to get a closer look, and it lurched it’s tail upward as if to say “enguard!” It nearly lifted it’s armor-like shell off the ground in defiance. Slowly, I got down on my knees and inched forward. I was amazed to see that what had caught my eye appeared to be a ring. carefully I lifted it up by It’s shell and turned it on it’s back. Clearly, It was opposed to this plan, although in this position, it was rendered helpless after racheting it’s tail back and forth a few times and surrendering. It was then that I realized that this was no average ring. But this was no average evening. It appeared to be platinum, and in the center a magnificient square diamond. My girlfriend could have told you exactly wht the “cut , color, and clarity ” were. The 3 most important “c’s” of diamond hunting. You can likely guess what was on her mind. Can you guess what was on mine? “Run, Run away now, run away and don’t look back!” I wondered how this prehistoric beast might have come across this unusual find? Had it been present on the evening of a couple’s expected engagement, and the nervous groom, fumbling in his pocket for what seemed like a lifetime, made the mistake of a lifetime,letting his lifetime savings sift through his disappointed fingers? Or was it something completely different?

• Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
  

  Leo Buscaglia is great! You are right he is a gentle spirit. Have you ever read anything by Wayne Dyer? I remember quite a few years back I read something he wrote that struck me and I knew it was important but I couldn’t understand it then. I only understand it marginally now. He would say (of those who frustrate you, etc) “Send them love” I couldn’t understand how you could send them love, even metaphysically, when you despise their actions. It wasn’t until about five years ago, when I was training to become a massage therapist and learned Reiki–that I began to understand How to “send them love”. To me it is the intention–for me when I work with someone, I set an intention that the Will of God be done for that individual–whatever they may be searching for , whatever is troubling them, that they begin to be shown the light. From my own experience, I know that growth can often be painful, but when I look back on it, I can always see, with hindsight being a beautiful thing, that the master Weaver had a plan. If it doesn’t Kill you it makes you stronger. I think what is hard, is Just allowing things to be as they are, and accepting them “as is”. Especially things we have no ability to change. Water always flow around the rock in the middle of the stream–it doesn’t stop and wait for the rock to move. It doesn’t even think twice. It lets the rock remain, and it alters its path momentarily ,then continues on. Soldier on, We Must!

• Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
  

  Felicity,it’s true, about the ‘walls’ you speak of. It is a hard one to get your head around at first. I think, but once you do, it can become a habit. But, I do think that it is in our nature to search, and I don’t think we become truly enlightened until we are on our death bed. I read a great Book last summer by Elizabeth Kubler Ross, the one who did all of the research on Life after death. Can’t remembner the name of the book , but this one was her memoire. It was really interesting. What she learned from all of these dying individuals, is that WE ARE HERE TO GROW. I don’t think we stop growing until we die. I really don’t.

  Indeed, “Be the Change you wish to see in the World.” -Gandhi
  I was at a parenting meeting yesterday at my son’s school and she talked about mirroring–how our children’s behavior is a direct reflection of our own. They model their behavior after ours. I know that this is true. Set an Example. “Do what I say, Not what I do” never worked. I am certain that I am an avid reader because I watched my Mother settling her self down each day to read. I don’t ever remember her telling me that I should read, or that anything you want to know you can find in a book. No. I just watched her read and read and read. And I looked at her collection of books on the shelf–on the most varied of topics that you can imagine–Such is my style today.
