Guidance

(Written in March 2005)
Dear Guides and Guardian Spirits, please help me.
Dear Jenny, we love you a lot. Relax and let yourself feel the warmth of our love. Remember that just as you are, you are doing good work for the world you love. You are doing well to stay with these difficult feelings with compassion. You are afraid that these feelings of weakness and hollowness are going to make it impossible for you to live your life, and do the things you care about. You are angry and disappointed in yourself that you haven’t been able to call Senator Gregg about the drilling in Alaska. Dear, it’s OK. Some compassion for yourself. You are not in very good shape at the moment. These feelings are difficult and painful. But they won’t last forever. You won’t always be incapacitated like this. Your love of life and your energy will return. You will get through this. For now, just staying with the feelings is enough. You aren’t denying them, blocking them, taking them out on other people, or engaging in addictive behavior. This is hard work and you are doing well. And we think painting is a good idea and encourage you to get right to it.
