Things may feel out of balance, out of flow, not as symbiotic or sympathetic as usual.  If this works for you, yay!  Otherwise, slow down.  Going faster will NOT pull things together.  And, oh yeah, breathe.

******************************************

I've been out of town for a few days, so it's been awhile, (hi!), but I totally remember this one.  Because it worked backwards.

Instead of slowing down, in order to accomplish my goals, I would have done better to go faster.  But every time I felt the urge to speed up, I instead sat down (figuratively - well, and literally once, when I was waiting for something. *G*.)  So, I lost an opportunity I had been waiting for, to have a long conversation with someone.

So while it is true that going faster will not pull things together...  because I do tend to lose things, and I don't multi-task well... it is perhaps time to practice moving with more purpose.  Taking a step back or a deep breath does not mean losing momentum.

Of course, the optimist in me says it turned out the way it needed to be.  Perhaps more conversation would have been ended up putting too many ideas in my head, and I wouldn't have remembered what I wanted to.  (They made the note taking phones just for me!)  Or...

Wait, no second guessing.  No back tracking.  From this point of view at this time, I would like to have had more time for conversation.  So my lesson is, if it says things may feel out of flow, I might want to check twice about what I think the flow is.

Recalling a past success or focusing on a goal nearing completion will help bring feelings back into balance.

I hope you have a great day!

When the group moves forward together, it is beautiful.

When I posted this this morning, I didn't want to use the word herd, or pack.  Not everyone thinks of themselves as part of a pack.  And group can be anything from the group of people planning  something to a group of football players running onto the field.  (Today was homecoming for some.)  And there is such beauty when the group moves together.

In my case, my herd (or pack) is a small one (unless you count all my mechanical assistants, like my laptop and my phone and my shredder and...).  I barely communicated with the outside, today, so this must apply to us.  Our movements, seen from above, might have been like two rivers flowing together then flowing apart.  He had a day off, I worked for most of the day.  But working at home allows for flexibility.  So we flowed.

Interestingly enough, in the bigger picture of the pattern of our lives, if looked at on a graph, today would still show a flowing together.  Through conversation and a willingness, on both our parts, to be true to ourselves.

So, big and small, today's general reading was beautiful for me.

I hope you had a great day!
