Debs, your synchronicity made me smile and they way you shared it made me giggle - you have a great sense of humour. :)

Margaret, a very beautiful and powerful synchronicity/reflection like Rich and Jen said. It reminded me when I was also a child spending months by the sea in Crete and walking up and down the beach collecting shells and attempting to 'listen' to them all! The sense of presence and joy was unbelievable!

Synchronistically perhaps, I have been encountering the word/experience/idea of emptiness a lot lately. Inquiring about it, reflecting, reading about it, experiencing a sense of emptiness, particularly in meditation, when pure stillness and awareness are present even for a little while.

You say: "The memory of becoming like a seashell makes me smile and I know I will allow it again soon". Thank you, what a great reminder that the gateway to emptiness is the allowing of it, making space for it to reemerge and even allowing it to reside on the background amidst the worries that may resurface!

Much love
