“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” ―J.R.R. Tolkien

“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”

We’ve sorted our IT problems and will be back on track on Monday. Meanwhile, Nipun at ServiceSpace.org sent out a beautiful video in today’s Newsletter, a poem about these uncertain times. I wanted to share it with you. I hope it gives you comfort too. I hope you and yours are well.
♥.
I hope you’re having a beautiful week.
We’ve been having some technical difficulties which I hope to solve soon. ♡
New updates on Missing Benjamin page. Today is four years since he disappeared. Until I can get a handle on this despair, I won’t be publishing new Gems. Any good vibes you feel like sending my way would be appreciated.
OCTOBER 15: New Cards NOVEMBER 1: Watercolor Painting DECEMBER 7: Live NowButtons for Benjamin will continue until Ben comes home, but I won’t be keeping records. This is a promise to do at least one daily act of kindness and, where appropriate, leave a Button (I had dozens made) to get the word out about my missing son. If you would like some buttons, let me know.

All opposites unite.
All that is profane

I hope you’ve enjoyed this “sacred” week. Several years ago, a friend posted an “Ego List” on her page. Ego does this, Ego does that. It seemed a bit judgy to me, though I know she didn’t mean it that way. I should probably say, it gave my inner critics lots of ammo. *smirk* I wondered to myself, “What is the opposite of ‘ego?” and came up with the phrase “sacred self.” Then I made this video Ego vs. Sacred Self set to the music of Joe Satriani, one of my favorite musicians. So, when my Cacophony Chorus started up, I put this on and calmed it right down.
Cheers to a beautiful weekend.
