\nIt\u2019s so amazing.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been happy for the last three days.\u00a0 Despite the cold.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been really enjoying the beauty around me.\u00a0 It\u2019s so solid.\u00a0 I feel like I\u2019ve crossed a threshold.\u00a0 My calling is just to be present and bring compassion.\u00a0 There isn\u2019t anything more that I \u201cshould\u201d do.\u00a0 I feel like I\u2019ve been climbing an endless cliff my whole life, with the occasional ledge to rest on, but now I\u2019m out on top, there\u2019s a whole new landscape, and I can walk easily.
\nI\u2019ve been hearing choral music in my mind.\u00a0 America the Beautiful, and other stirring hymns or marches.\u00a0 I\u2019m amused by it.\u00a0 And I enjoyed the usual music when I was at Cory\u2019s for massage.\u00a0 I usually don\u2019t like it.\u00a0 Yesterday I kept imagining flowing water.
\nSo amazing to feel like this!\u00a0 Will it continue?\u00a0 I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t feel precarious, but it does feel fluid, loose, likely to change.
\nAnd I know things are not good in the world.\u00a0 The Japanese nuclear meltdown is not yet contained and clouds of radioactive fallout are headed our way.\u00a0 In this country the stupidity and narrow-mindedness of the \u201cTea Party\u201d Republicans is beyond belief.\u00a0 They seem to think they are above the law.\u00a0 Well, since they have bought the judges, in a sense they are.\u00a0 But yesterday Progressives managed to defeat the Governor\u2019s choice for Supreme Court in Wisconsin.\u00a0 The victory was achieved by thousand of volunteers making 96,945 phone calls.<\/p>\n
