The news from Japan makes me wonder if the Mayans were right after all--perhaps the year 2012 will indeed be the end of history.<br /><br />A depressing thought. I hope I get to read Maeve's latest adventures before 2012.Neferhurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208617804937671324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287418096544149672.post-64871834456645961262011-03-25T04:43:40.193-07:002011-03-25T04:43:40.193-07:00See the power of positive thoughts within you.

There is something calming about these forces being nothing new in the big picture. I feel myself able to move with them feeling less resistance, when they are just a fact of life. <br /><br />And isn't the tragic hero merely the human embodiment of the continuous, even if often alarming, shifting and reshaping process always active in experience?<br /><br />I wondered if we would ever hear from Maeve's long lost other daughter! oooh, yipee!Brooke https://www.blogger.com/profile/16569793565975815862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287418096544149672.post-2143043707078409112011-03-16T13:08:20.248-07:002011-03-16T13:08:20.248-07:00a catastrophe also winds it way around our hearts ...a catastrophe also winds it way around our hearts squeezing our souls into new forms - some of us never completely unkinking - feeling overwound (my daughter's very accurate description of her state when she has hit overwhelm) with all the anguish going on in the southern hemisphere right now (not looking up for the view of the anguish in the Middle East)<br />also on my blog is a recipie from my beloved friend to help deal with radiation (her family were survivors of the WW2 nuclear bomb drops) http://morethingsithink.blogspot.com/<br /><br />love to the hero/ine in all of usfaerianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585095937433199961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287418096544149672.post-4395871961749601652011-03-16T10:40:11.883-07:002011-03-16T10:40:11.883-07:00Maeve here, as always.

Which is not to say there are not moments of beauty and humor. A tragedy must have those moments. Our lives must.Elizabeth Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307027953779753978noreply@blogger.com
