Hi Linda,

I would like to hear a bit more about this from you, if you like.

love,

Mick.

Sr G,

Did one of your reponses get deleted and I think a few of my replies to you also have gone missing. Must love technology!

love,

Mick.

Well, at least for me, as I sit and contemplate the ever expanding universe and each individual's place in it, love flows freely and forgiveness comes so easily...and then...it's time to grow some more. My youngest stamps her foot and insists that she's learned everything there is to know, second grade won't be necessary; my sixteen-year-old tells me one of her adorably cute, sweet friends was just thrown out of Walmart for the rest of her life for shoplifting; my neighbor tells me that the Baptist minister down the road still talks about how my girls and I are bound for perdition because I refuse to teach my beautiful children that the devil is forever waiting to suck them into the bowels of hell and they are doomed unless they abide by his, (the minister's), strict rules governing salvation; AND, my daughter's FFA project, (a little black goat), is living in a dog kennel in my living room:) Occasionally, I become disconnected and all of my spiritual fortitude deflates while those aspects of my personality, (shadows), bubble to the surface unbidden, behaving in less than a loving and harmonious manner, (whining, judgemental and full of self-pity:) Does that make sense?

Life is incredible;)
