October 4, 2015

The day began as a Dark one.  There is a shift I have been experiencing and this Shift hit me full force this morning.  I’m not sure what precipitated it yesterday, but I remember a feeling, somewhere, and now, here it is.

I wrote a piece I’ve felt about this constant polarization between peoples in this country.  Granted I lean more towards one side, yet I cannot comprehend this close-minded, shutting-off from either side.  There is NO RIGHT WAY.  Each coin has two sides, so why must people be so narrow-minded?  I do not often “commit” myself to one issue except for pro-choice – I feel women have a right to make their own decisions – but I leave myself open because I think closing one’s mind is harmful.  I can always be taught new things, why aren’t more people like this?  

I had to clean the house.  The landlord is coming by tomorrow with a real-estate agent to possibly refinance. I was worried he might sell the house.  Not the moving is a horrible thing, but I am somewhat overwhelmed right now.,  I didn’t want this added. 

At 4 I showered and headed to Davis– Delfos,  his beautiful wife Francesca and daughter were meeting me at Mikuni sushi.  Before they got there, however, I spoke with a homeless man who was living in a shelter.  He showed me the most beautiful art work he had done.  It was a mandala.  I took this to be a nudge from the Universe.  They soon arrived - it was so wonderful to see them and their daughter was the most precious child I have seen in so very long!  I was introduced to sashimi, sushi and nagiri –which was absolutely delicious!  I was also treated to their story about Buddhism and what they have been learning on their retreats.  This is very interesting to me and comes at a perfect time.

Home – many questions about where I belong, what needs to happen.  I almost feel as if North is happening for me since I’m feeling the urge to be introspective.  I will just…experience and accept.
