The Bewitching Hour

Awakened early to go over and over the same old, same old emotions now mixed in with current events. "quote by James Hollis Ph.D: "When in doubt, administer chocolate". Yet the way forward threatens death-the death which has been familiar, the death of whomever we have been. D.H. Lawrence titled "Snake". She admires the majesty of the creature; on the other hand she fears him. She attacks the serpent. The serpent is choosing to enter the depths, the same depths the speaker fears. In harsh self-judgement, she believes that she has met one of the lords of life. So Anxiety or depression, which do we choose. It is a daily choice. Anxiety will be our companion if we risk the next stage of our journey, and depression our companion if we do not. Anxiety being an elixir and depression a sedative.
From: Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life," Hollis

Linda Young Dinner Dance

Karren Trent has become famous in my book for using my head as a canvas. Vines and little flowers. Everyone loved what she and I did. Affirming life in the moment.
I won a beautiful Blue Afghan through the silent auction. Plus a lovely surprise from a great friend, a gift of a beautiful ceramic lamp. I will keep the Light on for you. I am Blessed
We had a great time dancing 5 straight long rock n roll dances with "Lark and Will". Barbara, Sister Dorothy, Coy, Ujjala, Sarah, Felicia. We could not be stopped. The music filled our minds and bodies to get lost in the reverie of the rhythm's lifting us to viewing a whole new mind and body. Thank you my gracious Sisters, Sing you Sisters Sing in the Love and Light. Keep on Dancing.
