Dearest Emma

Dearest Emma,

Your letters bring such joy to my heart.  I like that you understand the spirit world.  The walking between worlds. 

What did you think about the UFO photograph?  It is just like the others, isn't it?  It makes you wonder what is really out there.  Do you think they are a kind world, or light and dark like ours?  I prefer saying light and dark rather than good and evil.  I hope you don't mind.

I've been spending more time in the woods lately.  The fast paced world gives me indigestion.  The lack of concern for others.  I like living more sustainably, too.  I am learning more about how to do that each day.

This morning I brunched with an intuitive friend.  She was upset that she got angry recently and said a few four letter words.  I mean really.  Even Buddhists get angry, not that I am a Buddhist or anything.  Though, I do like some of their behaviors.  I like the being present part especially.   The icons and liturgy don't fit me too well.  The focus on inner peace sure does.  Especially as our class based society continues to separate.  Having said this, I also see a coming together of opposites.  A kind of quetzalcoatl.   Maybe that is the walking between worlds.  We see the polar opposites before they connect.  Like magnets.

Anyway, I told my friend to just let it rip.  It happens. 

Personally, I don't think we are effective enough.  Our anger needs to be vented toward those in power, not clerks.  We also have to be more kind and compassionate to ourselves when we do this deed.  Let it go.  Lest we implode.  It feels all so seasonal.  The letting go aspect.

Leaves everywhere are falling now.  The colors are brilliant gold, red, nutmeg.  The sap will run down soon.  It is a grand time for sure.  Drawing in.  I'll be painting more.  I have enclosed some of my recent work.  Simplify, simplify.  That is my motto. 

Namaste

Beth
