Wow…I enjoy reading everyone else’s wonderful responses. I have begun to understand that there reasons for the things that have caused my life to take the turnes that it has, however (don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this), I am having to think (through what feels like a brown paper bag over my brain) of years of religious dogma, preconcieved notions, and egoic motivations. Its like I need an earthquake to shake it all down to rubble so I can start building again. I am still dealing with lesson one and the concept of G-d and nature being one, so I am moving at a snails pace here but moving just the same.
