Hello, dear sister,
I just wanted to thank you for your deep insights that so resonate with my Being. “One is awake or one is not” – so true in my book. I was once one of those ‘unemotional’ men believing in the bravado of suppressing feelings, I even carried a gun during my career but my heart never gave up on this old warrior who finally learned to lay down his weapons of fear.
You write in a way that makes it quite easy to feel your heart, your depths, and this offers hope to mine, dear sister. I guess I consider myself to be a ‘breather’ who works with ‘energies,’ and in these invisible realms, your awareness is felt deeply.
Thank you for your work and for the song that flows through you. It continues to assist me as the journey beckons even more…
Love, Andrea
Things are not what the media tells us anywhere in the world. Israel’s innocents get attacked for years on its tiny piece of land the size of New Jersey where it’s trying to build a nation amidst a vast hostile territory of a dozen countries that don’t accept it, and when it fights back, against people who hide behind innocents in their land, it is turned into a polarizing filter for the world’s lenses, which leads to more hatred and separation. I love your understanding that those who can must go beyond national viewpoints; it is important to go beyond polarizing viewpoints as well. Violence anywhere is unacceptable, especially in the human heart, the hub of all action in the universe.
