Universal Connections and Goodness

Something clicked this morning:
While is is not easy having my heart divided in different places/environments/communities it also feels healthy. I know it is only the beginning of week 2 but the walls of the Guilford bubble are not that evident. I am trying to be aware of a few worlds. A strong point of mine has never been keeping up to date on 'world news' (as in anything happening not within a 15 mile radius of where my body is at the time) until now. I am keeping up to date on the protest for the reasons of being aware of loved ones there while also wanting to be involved in the stance of not fracking. I feel more divided geographically than I have before (possibly with acception of when Kels and I were in Roatan, Mum was in England -without internet access, and Dad was at Patrick Ave during a tornado. It feels healthy; challenging, strengthening, and beautiful.

I have been having a dream nearly every night at Guilford. (If it is hard to see my dream during the day at least I am having night time dreams). The universe made me go wide eyes this morning. A few times in my life I have had a dream where someone who I haven't seen or heard from in years appears and then the next day (in not night time dream life) they call or I receive an email from them. Crazy! That happened except not with a dream. Yesterday the weight of not knowing if James (a compassionate, active, dedicated lad at the protest I connected with) was arrested or being mistreated was extremely alive. This morning I read on a comment of a new picture that he was arrested yesterday. ~world~ He is out now but the fact that that was so alive to me yesterday and that he was arrested yesterday reminds me how connected things are in this world. ...He gave a copper the bird which brings up a whole lot of things to think about...

I went to my 8:30 then spent from 10-11:45 in the kitchen doing dishes, making split pea soup, and sending emails. I feel alive, responsible, reasonable, connected, happy, and lucky.

The big opening kick off market starts soon! I must go now to help set up actually. First I want to write down what I said during vespers last night.
:

I am shaped by my experiences

I am growing stronger every time I pick myself up from a fall

I am beautiful

Last night Addy led vespers and brought up the power of words. 

Life is pretty alright and feels healthy at the moment.
