WELCOME

The act of listening has guaranteed consequences;

• guaranteed to instigate change,
• guaranteed to surprise,
• guaranteed to uncover illusory misconceptions,
• guaranteed to reveal Life.
  

This is a Journal of a Journey of Listening.

What better time to listen than in the Time of upheaval, change, and transformation. There is a freshness available, a renewed curiosity, a sense of unexpected wonder. Yes, this is possible even in the face of the unknown, the painful, the scary, the unwanted.

This particular Listening Adventure almost immediately broadcast three statements;

• There is something wrong with living so far (1200 miles) from my kids
• I need to be living where I am going to be spending the rest of my Life
• I need to be in the Northwest.

I do not necessarily know or understand fully what each of these statements are truly asking of me. I DO know however that I best listen and follow the directions as given. Hence, I have begun the preparations for returning to the Northwest in Mid Summer 2008. That will give me time to acclimate to both the lower elevation and the higher humidity. Hopefully by the time the Winter rains begin I will be 'ready'!

I value the friendship and insights my kids bring into my life view. I benefit from their opinions, attitudes, and perspectives. Each of them (this is an eclectic gathering of people who are 'My Kids' via Heart and Soul connection; Ryan, Kelcey, Jordyn, Katy, Shane, Jesse, Saylor. I want an increase in frequency of contact and a more active interaction in the co-creating of Life.

This move will be the 89th move in this lifetime. I have known 'Home' as a transitory reference point. now there is arising in me a deep, strong hunger to grow and expand my awareness of Life from one point on the planet, one patch of Earth, one frequency and vibration that is a humming reference container for my Human Self to deepen Self Understanding.

The Northwest is Home. I didn't know that before this Listening. I know that now. So I must go Home.

This is my commitment to bring to written form that which verbally expresses fully through me. Knowing there are folks reading this supports me in writing in the manner in which I speak in Circle, in Council, in Prayer, in Satsang.

You are invited to write comments regarding these entries; if they support you in your growth and development, if they confuse you, if you wish to add commentary, if you are not interested other than knowing where and how I AM.

Blessings to us all as we each in our own ways enter into the deeper realms of Listening.
