This is a query - do you still come up to Port Elgin at all? I know, not in winter.... I'd like to do some of the tension relaxation you demonstrated to me, 4 years ago.

I’d like to do some of the tension relaxation you demonstrated to me, 4 years ago.

There's something scary and freeing about making decisions based upon one's Self, as opposed to trying to figure out the 'right thing to do,' as there is no such thing. Trusting you'll listen to the inner urge, and step boldly into the next moment. Warmly, Wayne Hey, Beth,
Nice hearing from you!

Recently, I've felt the universe smashing more of my notions of my identity. I like that I notice it happening. I like that I -- sometimes -- stay with what's inside the can, rather than getting agitated and waving my "label" about wildly. I have some decisions to make today that will affect my immediate future. Reading your article just now will help me stay with what feels right to my heart and spirit, rather than getting balled up in what's expected or what looks best to others. I will stay true to the contents of my can, and not care so much about keeping the label clean and shiny. After all, it's the food inside the can that nourishes us, while the label ends up in the trash or recycling. Thanks for your words, and for the image. Beth I love the “label on a can” description of identity.
