Changes

Maria and I went out to Wupatki today.  When there, we did a pipe and smudging ceremony.  It sounds silly, but my sense was that the pipe wanted to go with us.  Once there, the spirits & land felt very supportive, affirming and powerful.  Earlier in the day we attended a Friends (Quaker) meeting and the feeling was one of positive changes taking place, changes toward love, peace and compassion.  One of my friends just had a talk during which she referred to such a change going on.  I have an emotional attachment to those ideas so I am cautious, but it seems that what Maria and I do, is part of that shift.
