i see that you have a very much more orderly mind than i do. my writing kind of oozes out of my mind one bit at a time with only the slightest sense of pre-planning. but there are underlying values that always inform that oozing.
i love that we have this method for communication. and that it is in colour, for those of us whose brains can see it like that.
happy day (just past) of Coatlicue!
your sister,

I AM.Yehwe.to be in the middle of the crossroad, cross(abstract Tree), ego dies, transforms, near the tree.

I have been asking Zetwal and the forces to enter my dreams and teach me more about this. So far no dreams I can remember.I have been working with various lwa already and have asked them to be patient with me as I am learning as an outsider from a different culturewith no one to guide me,and I have many other projects under way so finding more time for the lwa is a constant problem.I realise just how powerful the these forces are because I feel them urging me for more and more energy !!
