Regrounding

I think when all is said and done about Katrina, we are going to witness much that is good and beautiful in people, just as we did after 9-11. In fact, I think it is our responsibility as lightworkers (for lack of a better word) to focus on the positive. I, personally, made it a point after 9-11 to try and defuse the fear and negativity around me. Yes, it takes effort to maintain our own center of balance in the midst of these things.

I am glad that I did not make plans to be out of town visiting family as I usually am over the Labor Day holiday. I spent most of yesterday in tears, and I realize that that is my way of releasing all those feelings -- not just own -- but all that I have been witnessing around me. It is part of regrounding myself. As scholars tend to do, I have been processing, processing, processing. Today I am feeling reconnected to that part of me that Michael has described as being in deep meditation. Today will be a quiet day, doing simple things, alone. Cooking, reading, beading, going for a walk.... The sun is shining, and it is a beautiful day.
