Some very loud motorcycles drove up my road and woke me. They felt ominous. The dogs didn’t even bark. We just stayed quiet. I thought of Frank and asked for some help.

The path you are walking on now is a wondrous one and only traveled lightly when you are able to be in earth time as well as soul time. Sometimes you feel like you are going through death. But it is a beautiful transition that allows you to finish your time on earth while glimpsing ahead. You have been on this path several times in your life, this life – and always it has opened you to a beautiful next step, place, being. Trust it, Jan – and keep walking. See yourself surrounded now with light from all of us holding you close. And feel especially my arms around you.  

And then the world seemed like it was going completely crazy. Oil pipelines were bursting, the European Union was breaking up. And the pre election madness in the US was astonishing and horrifying. Widespread hatred fueled marches, media and human minds.
