Waves of positive and negative energy flow.
We do - in fact - live in a bi-polar world.
Riding, bouyant, upon the crests
then lying, flattened, in the ebbs.
Someone has to channel all the sorrow
while we wait for Divinity to open the doors
so we can evaporate into wholeness.
Is there any doubt that we are on the cusp of something great and unknown?
Everybody on the verge...
inner tremblings...
panic...
gripping grief...
blinding rage...
then moments of bright, still knowingness -
everything is perfect.
I know.
I see you.
All we can do is find the rhythm of the tide.
It hums there in our bones.
Hear it?
Sometimes we will flow with grace. Sometimes we'll be wiped out and flounder.
But we'll get there.
Wherever there is.
Namaste,
C H E Z

Things in 3D are still the same. Our acceptance of it is better. And we are strangely optimistic without knowing why. Blessings to your husband.
