COMMUNITY
THE KEY TO THIS MONTH: SEPTEMBER
This month let go of the norm. Accept goodhearted gestures and kindness from others, especially when you are not in the mood to have anyone step into your space. There are people who take charge and pull ahead with a full throttle, but if done so with malice, there will be consequences. Try to slim down your schedule or too many obligation will prevent you from doing your best work. New ideas and people compel you to move forward. Mistakes may happen, but you know you cannot stand still.
DAILY INSIGHTS AND THINGS WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT...
The person who shows empathy and charity in his or her voice is the person that we need to relate to.
This voice makes you a witness to your own clarity.
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE:
It might not seem possible to do one thing seven times faster, but this is the time to reach that goal. Reflect your values. You could turn a touchy situation around. The KEY is not to under think or over think any situation. High points for using quiet intensity verses being overly unrestrained. Something happens that reinforces something you knew all alone. Allow doubt to fall by the waste side. A time to appreciate the new found you. Allow yourself to grow as far as you can reach...a phoenix thing.

THE POND
The pristine pond once glittered in the sun’s brightness
Now covered with withering leaves
Making it appear eerie, while remaining ethereal
And we are much the same
Knowing someday our form will transform
All we can do is examine our stages of change
As if we were in a Shakespearean play
Everything we experience
Is seen through our subjective eyes
And our words and actions express
How we share and care
In our mortal short stay.
