It gave me great belly laughs and will entertain my friend, too. I recycled some of the unused beads and materials I have around and I made a very nice little art card to go with the set. It felt good to set my child artist free and the result was much greater than it would have been if I had an agenda or an outcome in mind. This is a lesson I will remember. I am learning to trust my intuition more each day. Did I mention that I sold $300 worth of necklaces today? This was a big deal for me! I am feeling pretty good about myself and my art today.

From the center I can see it all and decide where to put my attention in any moment. When I am not in the center I can see only a small area. I struggle every day with the temptation of approaching everything with an agenda, which is the result of too much intellectual activity. Balance between mind, emotions and physical body is required. Only then can I connect with the Divine. Lately I have been observing my thoughts and the more I observe them the faster they disapear. What I mean is that observing a thought that goes on and on on a specific subject, results in making these thoughts disapear. It is like lighting a flashlght on them. When the light reaches them they disapear. Like soap bubbles. Love/Arie Being in the center of the sphere is to be open to all possibilities.

Keep it coming! ;-) and want to add an image I heard last night going to hear Gloria Steinem speak--she described "imaginal cells" (awesome name) of a butterfly, how the inner momentum of these cells in the caterpillar builds & leads to transformation, even when it looks like goop & nothing is happening. Here's a URL with more detail (I love the idea on both a personal level and social change level): http://www.tomorrowsedge.net/imaginal-cells.html (She likened each of us as "an imaginal cell in a big f-ing beautiful butterfly!" ;-) The last few days Beth (hope you know what I mean–no slight re: other posts –just timely for me)…just good stuff, GOOD stuff.
