Here is today's quote for you:
"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."--Alan Watts
Love, P.........have a perfect day!
p.s. in case you're curious, one place I get many of the quotes I use is from a book called Zen and the Art of Making a Living by Lawrence Boldt...a great career "planning" guide.

Hello, my friend..........it was fun to talk with you this morning even if by e-mail. I had a great day, thanks in part to you. It was great to be downtown again, and I realize how much I miss the energy and vitality of downtown. I worked there for 7 years and felt really part of the downtown community.
On a break today, I took my camera in to see if it could be fixed. The place I usually go moved a block or so and they don't fix cameras. So I walked back to the office building where I was working via a different route. As I stopped for a light (rare for me, but there were cars) a very young man approached me and asked if I live here. I said, "yes" and turned away.....I saw he was holding some books; he asked if I am an artist (I was holding camera) and I said "somewhat;" he said he had some books to share with me. The light changed and I said "that's nice but I have to be somewhere." And I walked off. For 2 blocks it bugged me.......I am looking for synchronous events, I am asking to be open to messages from the universe and I blew off what could have been someone I needed to talk to. So I turned around and went back and said, "I think I'm supposed to talk to you for some reason. And yes, I am an artist." He said, "I knew that." We then got into a conversation about purity of consciousness and intent. I talked a bit about the project and he merely reminded me of having a pure purpose and to do this without expecting anything in return. He of course wanted to give me the books in exchange for a donation, but I didn't have any cash. So he gave me a flyer about his ashram and his e-mail address. I may contact him in the future.
At least I didn't let this go by. I have a friend here who says, "Sometimes a doorknob is just a doorknob." Maybe this was just a doorknob......or maybe it is encouragement and reminder that this isn't about me. Now there's a concept..........something in the universe that isn't about ME??? Well!
I've also started a journal about the Face of God.
The book, Synchronicity (Joseph Jaworski) is great....and that's just the intro by Senge! In it he talks about fundamental shifts of mind that are necessary. He talks about, "...a shift from seeing a world made up of things to seeing a world that's open and primarily made up of relationships, where whatever is manifest, whatever we see, touch, feel, taste, and hear, whatever seems most real to us, is actually nonsubstantial. A deeper level of reality exists beyond anything we can articulate....... When this fundamental shift of mind occurs, our sense of identity shifts, too, and we begin to accept each other as legitimate human beings.......when we start to accept this fundamental shift of mind, we begin to see ourselves as part of the unfolding. We also see that it's actually impossible for our lives not to have meaning."
He also uses some of Bohm's work and talks about the "flow of meaning." Pretty awesome stuff, huh?
Hope you're loving life right now..........I am, too............................love, Emma

Hi...It was nice to have your e-mail waiting for me when I arrived at work today. I don't look forward to coming to the office much anymore, but our conversations are a bright light in my day.... thank you. Your experience downtown reminded me of a quote from Albert Einstein that is one of many on my office wall..."There are two ways to live your life, one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as if everything is." It seems to me it's always a choice. Lately I've been feeling as if there are few choices open to me, but I know that for the things that matter in life, there is always choice.
Life is indeed a miracle...thanks for reminding me that it takes no effort at all to love it.
I need to ask a favor of you. There is an area of my life that is sorely in need of a miracle. Without going into details now (I’ll share it with you sometime), I need your help in channeling some miraculous energy towards this "issue." I've been blocked or clouded in this area and I'm hoping that by asking you (and the universe) for help it may clear the way for some healing and transformation to take place. So, if you would please join me in asking the universe to shine its abundance on me, I know that my path will soon open up.
yours.........P

Of course, my friend.....I will ask for miraculous healing and transformation in this area of your life. Consider it done. I'm reading Marianne Williamson's Return to Love and she talks a lot about miracles and asking for them. I've used it to help me through some stubborn attachments in my life.
I'm sorry work is not fulfilling for you. I've talked a bit about my work and the frustrations I have with it, so I understand your feelings. It is a struggle. Maybe that's part of why we were to come together....so we could support one another through these times and into new ways of living and experiencing life. You do sound a bit down today, so I hope you are taking care of yourself. Perhaps hanging out is exactly what's called for.
Just remember 2 things my dear friend: You will have everything you need when you need it (but probably not before). AND, you are God's most favorite child (we all are.)
I am in interviews again this morning then at the office for meetings in the afternoon. I'll be here for a while yet, so If you want to write back, I'll be here. Take care, Pluto and be gentle with yourself.
Sending you peace and love............Emma
p.s. I'm gonna have to hurt you for planting that song in my head yesterday....yes, it was Petula Clark. Now it's here again today.
