I’m pretty late to this post, forgive me, but in my little selfish bubble, the reading of it came exactly on time for when I needs to be intoxicated by all this wisdom and hope. I wish I have the funds right now to support this woman but I will add spiritually to her rebuild endeavour. To all you bodhisattvas out there: the transformation phase might be short or long, but when it’s over, every single second of it will be necessary. Thank you for this beautiful read, Barbara!
You're never too late, Tonika! I feel buried in emails right now so I'm just taking the reading slow. Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. Yes to the transformation phase. As painful as it often feels, like you said - every single second of it is necessary. Big big hugs to you and your beautiful soul! XOOX
Dear Barbara. I thought of you so much over the past fortnight when viewing the devastation in the SE of America. I knew you'd been searching for a home in those mountains. I've heard such wonderful stories about the spiritual nature of Asheville and area so I pray for all souls affected as lives, land and homes are cleansed and rebuilt. 🙏💜
Reassuring upliftment in this challenging time of turbulence and transition. Beautiful. Grateful for your willingness to wade into the deep and emerge holding moments of peace for our hearts Barbara. 🙏🏽
This was much needed both personally and collectively, Barbara. Shedding season, quite literally. I too have hope that new growth will be the resounding effect of this devastation. Prayers of light and love to all those suffering in anyway from this and all other aspects of life. The answers truly do come from nature.
Oh, Barbara, the care and compassion you have expressed is really beautiful. I have no doubt of the portal you’ve opened up between you and Asia. I can easily imagine how loved and held she feels right now. Your peace you tend so diligently isn’t hoarded, as you share it so lavishly with those lucky enough to call you friend. Thank you for showing us how to love this earth and others so well.
You've said exactly what I feel, Kathleen, thank you. After reading Barbara's essay, I feel so peaceful... Like I'm ready for whatever the future holds.
We are all keeping you and yours in our thoughts and intentions as we blow Melvin or Marvin or whatever his silly name is out to sea. Be gone! These winds are total Vata Season derangement with a huge side of human interference, if you both get my drift. XOXO
Thx for your comment, EMB, and yes, to what you said. It's surreal to be living where the weather has been calm with sunny blue skies and yet be able to feel what's going on energetically. It's heartening to hear that so many people have been consciously tapping in to calm the angry winds and water. I'm really lax about checking the weather and was clueless about Helene but I was feeling so off. You're right, it caught a lot of us by surprise. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I often wonder about how much abuse Gaia will take. I do feel a shift in awareness about the engineering and hope that I live to see the day that, as Kathleen says below "we once again find our correct place in the Natural world." 💚
Thanks for this EMB I think you are articulating an understanding that humanity will reawaken to as we once again find our correct place in the Natural world. As reverence and humility returns. We exist in the field so naturally our thoughts and feelings perpetually feed into that. We still have so much to learn. Advanced classes going forward.
And interesting too that as I fell asleep (eventually) last night, I had an experience of being on a mountain top and was listening to a group of people talk about Gaia's anger. How could she not be angry? As with anyone feeling anger, patience and room for that is necessary to releasing it.

Thank you, sweet friend!
It's easy to lavish Peace on beautiful souls such as yourself, dear Amanda. You are so loved, my friend. XOXO
Beautifully said!
Thank you for bringing a sense of serenity and love in the aftermath of Helene.
Thinking of so many...including your Jillian. XOXO
Dear Barbara, what a tonic your beautiful post is - so much wisdom.
I love how synchronicities abound in your life - I can feel the flow you live in being so in touch with your surrounding.
I love your art-space!! Looks perfect.
And yes, let's generate peace and love and direct that to Florida sending Milton packing.
I'm so grateful for your gentle and clear voice. Blessings to you, to everyone in distress, to us all.
xoxo

Yes I know - that's kinda magical isn't it? It can be felt through the ethers.
Let me reflect that back Mary - you are ready for whatever the future holds. :-)
Glad you found a place to temporarily land.
We're quickly becoming experts at navigating the radical-discontinuity and you're getting an advanced class - so you'll be helping others.
May ease and grace lead your way and follow in your wake. xoxo
Thank you, dear Kathleen. I know that you get it. See you in the field of Peace and Calm and Love! XOXO
😘
