A knife's edge

A Knife Edge and Thank you.

A knife edge

Two weeks ago I found myself in my car precariously perched on the edge of a single track lane lucky to be unhurt but certain I would lose my car. I was dressed in yoga pants, wellington boots, reflective jacket and a blanket. The Police seemed indifferent to my appearance, I had recently changed out of my Elf costume, and did not to choose to breathalyze me. it took the AA, the Police and a specialist rescue vehicle seven hours to pull my car back from the brink.

The incident was entirely my fault as I had reversed over the edge into a classic Italian Job situation. Whether the universe was telling me not to go backwads or get a new car I am not entirely sure but as I sat on a knife edge it seemed to represent a feeling that many having been speaking of. The feeling that we are all sitting on a knife edge.

Superficially much may seem to be the same but my sense is that we are on the cusp of, or in the middle of, incredible change. Societies, structures, economies and technologies are quite literally sitting on a knife edge.

What was strange about my experience was the depth of calm I felt throughout. Of course the mind ventured into practicalities at times but at no time did the circumstance slip into drama. I believe that humanity has reached a level of consciousness that will allow it to sit on the edge without succumbing to the traditional collapse into drama.

Lets hope so anyway.

All Change

Apparently Taureans aren't so keen on change. I had always framed this as patience and stability but others see this as stubborn, uncompromising and possessive.

Well 2018 gave me plenty of opportunity to play with all of those virtues (or vices) and however determined I was to keep everything in order I had no control over the movement around me. In so many ways my life is barely recognisable from a year ago whilst in others little seems to have changed.

It has been an incredible year in which I was constantly reminded that love shows up in so many different guises that I now realise its absence is impossible. Love is ruthless in its determination to return you to your true essence, which is ultimately love. 

I would like to thank all of you for your continued support, your many messages and comments about my blogs, and your generosity of both spirit and love.

Once again thank you all and may I wish you a wonder-filled Christmas and magical New Year

Go easy, tread lightly, stay free,
