You tell sad stories so beautifully -- they almost don't seem real.

Beautiful Emma.

The medical industrial complex in this country is one of the most dehumanizing -- much worse than, say, public K-12 education. We shouldn't even use the term "health care" to describe the 'product' that they dispense.

Thank you.

You know how I love the moon in all her phases! Last night (July 2) I was out walking with a heavy sweatshirt and scarf ... shivering ... and wishing it would snow. We woke up this morning to very cool temps and new snow on the nearby Highland Mountains. Tonight, I'm bringing my winter coat to watch the fireworks I'm so grateful that I've not yet had to experience a bad summer of heat and fire.

This is beautiful em...the pictures and the words. Funny Luana and I were just discussing our love of the moon last night so this was perfect alignment for me.

Here's wishing that your next full moon is without the snow! At least if that's what you want...:-)

So glad you liked this Em....I too felt very attracted to that particular song....I listened to a bunch of his stuff but this song pulled me back to it. I love how you write about the safe harbor....it feels inviting and comforting. love ya, amy

ah absolutely I like to think of the metaphor of spiraling up the mountain....an issue arises that seems so similar to something that came up before but here we are higher up the mountain with a whole new view/perspective.

Thanks for your wisdom and the reminder. This experience comes as quite a surprise to me and so I'm exploring it as a form of communication between me and me. I still remember sitting in a yoga workshop ... probably more than 20 years ago ... and the instructor talking about the need for awareness and acceptance before making any adjustments. So, I'm exploring this pain, this exhaustion, this weakness as if it is a new experience rather than an old one - as if it has something new to tell me about me today and not the past me. Writing, as you know so well!, is a powerful exploration for me especially when I can find my way toward gratitude rather than fear.

Before you left in 2007 you were dealing with this issue of health quite a bit if I remember...dealing with it from the point of view that you are creator of everything in your life. I think that was part of what opened you up so wide and brought the big adventure to travel west. Sometimes we turn right to go left....instead of looking at this as something that is ending a period of growth perhaps this is just a moment to cause you to open up to the greatest growth and expansion you have experienced yet. love you much em!

Beautiful, Em!
