Yes! I have to agree with this. Are you online at the moment? I saw on FB that the buses aren't running tomorrow. I'll give you a call to come up with an alternate plan.

This seems quite true for me. The more I embrace all of my feelings the more fully alive I feel. The deeper the silence and depth of source connection the more I feel and am able to hold it all.

Yes.....adults are those who are able to contain opposites and be opposites without contradiction. We are not simple. And it is good.....

and I meant to add that the more I feel, the more aware of all my feelings the crazier/more mad I feel. It also seems to be true that the deeper the silence within the more grounded I feel at the same time as I am feeling all the energies of feeling within me. Crazy with feeling and yet deeply anchored. When I start to feel overwhelmed and awash in the craziness I know the anchor is slipping and I am drifting and starting to be battered about. If I am aware of this it's time for silent time alone, meditation, more yoga, breathwork, wilderness... and when I am ready for it connection with loving friends and community.
