Winter is implied but the inner Will still looms larger - a testament of an old soul. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness through the year !

Fascinating it is to watch oneself and reflect on why we are as we are. I turn 70 next year and a practising Catholic, but for many reasons embrace all systems and learn from them. I'm so grateful for the events that brought me to this place. [I was a sole parent of 4 ] We at the bottom of the world find it difficult to think autumn, as we approach spring, but that's a further reminder of the paradoxes of life!

Your Jewish friend probably showed you something that was not at all that familiar about life , and just the fact that he was Jewish is important. I'm always fascinated by Kryon who never lets up on the idea that "as the Jews go, so goes the world." They've always been thought of as the "chosen race" and I believe they, as a race, are worth our fascination and great interest, having within their human nature a genuine sense of integrity.
