Before anything else, I am glad to be alive. Yes, it is a difficult time for humanity with all sorts of fractious divides and fragile egos running amok and hurting our planet. Still, I’d rather be here than not.
Due to extended recovery from knee surgery; September’s 2nd Friday with Michael’s Consortium is cancelled.

Recall from the Overview of 2019 posted in January , that this Artisan accented year is one of the most pivotal in recent decades. Of the several reasons cited, many of the Baby Boomer Class and Millennial generations have come to turning points that neither of them expected. The Boomer, but particularly those of Older Soul ages, the ones who supported Civil Rights, Women’s Liberation, and were inspired by President Kennedy’s goal of a man on the moon, they enrolled in a Peace Corps and also rebelled against Viet Nam. It culminated in the Rock n’ Roll generation of the Summer of Love and Woodstock. For many it all collapsed under the weight of traditional imprinting and doubled down on the planet crushing and social conforming tenants of the late levels of the Young Soul mindset. Many now feel dislocated in time and purpose. Yet, those who knew it, found it, or are busy making one anew, are thriving or feeling the thrust of determination.

*The purpose of this article now is simple. Fear is not the problem. How you react to it often is. If you know what to look for, you can deal with it head on! Heal yourself first. Forewarned is Forearmed!
Whenever we reminisce, tell a joke, give an instruction, or relay thoughts and feelings that trouble or enthrall us, we are sharing a narrative about our own story.

It seems as if it is one more of the many humorous associations from the TAO, planted here as subtle “accidental” word play, that we humans (in English anyway) term both the vibration of living energy -Spirit, with that of those alcoholic distillations, brews, and fermentation, people have also come to call “spirits.” I love such cosmic innuendo as a back door to consider the implications of how each may alter our consciousness.
