Hi, all ~
I told you that I�d share a few fascinating Rune draws I�ve gotten in the past couple of months. Here they are. That�s all that�s in this letter, so, if you aren�t interested, feel free to stop reading now.
On 11/1 I asked about money and my work. I got:
Jera: Harvest, Fertile Season, One Year
A Rune of beneficial outcomes, Jera applies to any activity or endeavor to which you are committed. Be aware, however, that no quick results can be expected. A span of time is usually involved; hence the key words �One Year,� symbolizing a full cycle before the reaping, the harvest or deliverance. You have prepared the ground and planted the seed. Now you must cultivate with care. To those whose labor has a long season, a long coming to term, Jera offers encouragement of success. Know that the outcome is in the keeping of Providence and continue to persevere.
On 11/16 I asked about a romantic relationship. I got:
Mannaz: The Self
The starting point is the self. A correct relationship to your self is primary, for from it flow right relationships with others and with the Divine. Remain modest. Regardless of how great may be your merit, be yielding, devoted and moderate, for then you have a true direction for your life. Be in the world but not of it. Remain receptive to impulses flowing from the Divine. Strive to live the ordinary life in a nonordinary way. This is a time of major growth and rectification and, as a rule, rectification must come before progress. Now is not a time to seek credit for accomplishments or to focus on results. Instead, be content to do your task for the task�s sake. Herein lies the secret of experiencing a true present.
On 11/26 I asked again about my work and money. I got:
Raido: Journey, Communication, Union/Reunion
This Rune is concerned with communication, with the attunement of something that has two sides, two elements, and with the ultimate union that comes at the end of the journey, when what is above and what is below are united and of one mind. The journey is toward self-healing, self-change and union. You are concerned here with nothing less than unobstructed, perfect union. But the union of Heaven and Earth cannot be forced. Regulate any excesses in your life. Material advantages must not weigh heavily on this journey of the self toward the Self. Stand apart even from like-minded others; the notion of strength in numbers does not apply at such a time, for this part of the journey�the soul�s journey�cannot be shared.
Approximately 12/10 I asked about coming up with the money I need before the end of the month. I got:
Dagaz: Breakthrough, Transformation, Day
Drawing Dagaz often signals a major shift or breakthrough in the process of self-change, a complete transformation in attitude, a 180-degree turn. For some, the transition is so radical that they are no longer able to live the ordinary life in the ordinary way. Because the timing is right, the outcome is assured although not, from the present vantage point, predictable. In each life there comes at least one moment, which, if recognized and seized, transforms the course of that life forever. Rely, therefore, on radical trust, even though the moment may call for you to leap empty-handed into the void. With this Rune your Warrior Nature reveals itself. A major period of achievement and prosperity is often introduced by this Rune. The darkness is behind you; daylight has come. Nevertheless, you are reminded not to behave recklessly in your new situation. Considerable hard work can be involved in a time of transformation. Undertake to do it joyfully.
Namaste,
Michael

Hi, guys ~
There are some things left over that didn't make the cut to get into the Year in Review letter and that I haven't written about in previous letters that I think are interesting and that I want to record for posterity. (I guess that makes you part of posterity. How do you feel about your posterity?) Anyway, this is a letter for me to complete the year (up until now, at least).
All through last spring I continued to receive guidance about moving to Santa Fe in various ways. Several of them I thought were pretty remarkable:
1. One day I was driving, feeling uncertain and a bit anxious. As I often do, I asked for clear guidance (this time about Santa Fe). Those of you who know the history can probably guess that within a few minutes a car with a New Mexico license plate pulled in front of me. This time, though, that wasn't enough for me. I wanted even more of a confirmation, so I asked that if I was really supposed to move to Santa Fe, it would turn at the same street that I was going to turn at (which was still about a mile away). I'm sure you can guess. It turned at that street.
2. On April 19, out of the blue, I experienced a profound inner shift (a change in my felt sense, for those of you familiar with Focusing) about Santa Fe. Instead of the sense I'd had of tentativeness, hopefulness, and questioning, suddenly I shifted to a sense of clarity about going. In fact, it was more a sense of being there in spirit, though I wasn't yet there in body.
3. After that the calls intensified in frequency and strength. On the evening of April 30, for example, I was watching TV, and Santa Fe was mentioned on both "Roswell" and "Family Law." In between them was a commercial for a car called the Santa Fe (is it a Hyundai?). I know that I've come here for some reason and that my coming has been directed and facilitated by Spirit. Now I just need to find out how it's going to work out now that I'm here.
For many years I've talked about how I always know almost immediately if I'm ever going to be physically attracted to a woman. Some people (mostly, if not exclusively, women, by the way) have told me that they become attracted to people as they get to know them, but that had never happened with me. Then one day I noticed that I've become physically attracted to Julia Roberts. For a long time I found her totally without appeal (physically). But, as I've gotten to know more about her, I've changed. Well, at least now I know that it's possible. Some of you are probably thinking, "Yeah, but Julia Roberts - lots of people do find her physically attractive. That isn't such a big deal." It is to me. I'm not saying that I can become physically attracted to anyone - only that I now know that it's possible to become physically attracted to someone I wasn't previously attracted to (since it's happened once in my life). It may never happen again for all I know.
And speaking of attraction, I don't recall for sure, and I'm not going to go back and look it up, but I think I've written about how attracted I was to a woman who was in the Leap of Faith last spring or winter. I refer to her as DW for a reason I won't reveal. I also think I wrote about how much I was in conflict about whether to say anything to her about it or not (because, for several reasons, I thought she was inappropriate for me for a romantic relationship). If I did write about her, I know for sure that I didn't write about how it turned out. So, here's the rest of that story:
One of the things we talk about in Leap of Faith is that "hesitation means death." On the street (or on a plane) that could be literal, if we hesitate when someone is out to harm us. In most life situations, though, it means death of our aliveness, our spontaneity, and our self-expression. It finally became abundantly clear to me that I was hesitating in that sense with DW. In fact, all my life I've hesitated with women I'm attracted to. I realized that it was important for me to take action in service to my own aliveness, even though my intention wasn't to start a romantic relationship.
So, I turned it over to Spirit. If I was supposed to say something to DW, I asked that the opportunity be given to me. Not too much later, there she was at a Warrior Spirit function with me. "Make it obvious," I said to Spirit, "if I'm supposed to talk to her." She came over and sat down next to me. I leapt. It wasn't anything big, in terms of what happened between us. What was big was that I leapt. No hesitation. Who knows? Maybe it made a difference to her somehow, too.
Around the same time that I was going through all of that, I read a book called _The Purpose of Your Life: Finding Your Place in the World Using Synchronicity_ by Carol Adrienne. In a book about synchronicity, I experienced a lot of it. In fact, there was one incident of synchronicity after another for me - including that I went to school 30 years ago with one of the people she talked about as an example. One of the most meaningful sections of her book is one in which she addresses "The obstacles and suffering that frequently block the path to enlightenment." The title of that section reminded me of DW for some reasons I won't reveal (in the interests of not revealing her identity). The message I drew from it? It was another confirmation to walk through the doorway. I'm still not clear, though, what all that synchronicity means to me.
Okay, here's an important one: Krispy Kreme opened a doughnut store in Issaquah - the first one in the Seattle area (or anywhere else I've lived). I had heard such raving reviews of Krispy Kreme doughnuts that I was eager to taste one. The first time I went, the line was so long that I would have been late wherever I was going if I had waited. The second time I went, I "only" had to wait for about 45 minutes. They must be great, huh, for people to wait for so long? I was way less than impressed. I'll never eat another Krispy Kreme doughnut. They're way too sugary for my taste. Another example for me of how my experience may not align with popular opinion.
So, speaking of that, I took something on the internet called "The Gender Test." (See http://www.thespark.com/gendertest if you'd like to try it yourself.) The results were that they said with 80% confidence that I'm a woman. I wasn't terribly surprised. All my life I've identified more with things "experts" say about women than I have with the things they say about men. Independently of each other, a couple of women have declared me an "honorary woman." This also explains in part, I think, why so many women have appreciated me as a friend and so few of them have been romantically interested in me. I won't write at length about this now. Sometime, though.
Being here in Santa Fe has some differences with Seattle that stand out to me more than others:
1. Maybe the biggest is that there are no 7-11 stores. How do people live without 7-11 stores? They have convenience stores (called Allsups), but not 7-11s. I'm still feeling lost.
2. It's very dry here. The humidity is usually below 50%. The good news about that is that the heat doesn't feel as oppressive and the cold doesn't feel as icy. I've been outside when it was in the 20s, and didn't feel all that cold. I was more uncomfortable in the Seattle area when it was in the upper 30s. The bad news about it is that my lips are always dry and that I have to drink amazing amounts to stay hydrated.
3. They have something here on the roofs of houses called swamp coolers. Does any of you know about them? They circulate water somehow to help with cooling in the summer. There are cooling vents in the ceiling similar to heat vents.
4. The significantly higher elevation (7000 feet, as opposed to close to sea level) has caused me some difficulties. I've noticed being unusually tired and having some breathing problems, both of which the guidebooks say to watch for, but neither of which I noticed when I was visiting in '97. I also recalled, through experience, that it takes a lot longer for water to boil and things to cook here.
I want to say a few words about trees. Several people have said to me something about there not being trees in Santa Fe. I keep driving by trees saying to myself, "What are those?" There are lots of trees here. There just aren't the same kinds of trees there are in the Pacific NW. I wonder where people get their ideas about what it's like here.
Similarly, a lot of people have misconceptions about the temperature here. They seem to think that it's hot a lot of the time like in Phoenix. At 7000 feet elevation, we're higher than Denver is. The low temperature for the past couple of weeks has been in the teens or 20s, and it's snowed once already. I just read that there is an average of only 8 days a year when the temperature gets over 90. What's been notable to me is that the temperature often varies 25 to 35 degrees in a day from low to high and that it warms up very quickly when the sun comes up.
I want to tell you about one last experience I had of synchronicity. Via the message board on the Living Enrichment Center website, I met a woman named Kristelle. She was starting a Living Enrichment Circle at Unity of Santa Fe, something I've also been interested in doing. We corresponded several times over a period of quite a few months before I left for Santa Fe. I went to Unity of Santa Fe on Sunday morning right after I arrived in town. It turned out that Kristelle was one of the greeters - one of the first 2 people I encountered as I walked in the door. We may end up doing an LECircle together. I knew from our e-mails that Kristelle has family in the Puget Sound area. Sunday afternoon I learned from someone else that her father is Richard Bach. That means that I had met her brother in the Seattle area. Fascinating, isn't it?
Mostly for the sake of my recalling what this fall was like for me, here's a chronology of what I've been doing between September 11 and when I arrived back in Santa Fe:
9/11 - 9/17 Heavily focused on the terrorism and on influencing people and our government not to use it as a reason to go to war.
9/17 - 9/21 Participated in The Invitation retreat.
9/22 - 9/29 Caught up on what I'd been missing and prepared to move.
9/30 - 10/5 Drove to Santa Fe (phase one of my move).
10/6 - 10/8 Found a place to live and moved in.
10/9 - 10/25 Began settling into Santa Fe.
10/26 - 10/31 Drove back to Seattle.
10/31 - 11/2 Participated in our Awakening Group retreat.
11/3 -11/8 Worked, saw friends, attended our Invitation group reunion.
11/8 - 11/11 Staffed the Leap of Faith.
11/12 - 12/4 Worked, saw friends, prepared for phase 2 of my move.
12/5 - 12/8 Drove back to Santa Fe (phase 2 of my move).
I guess I've been busy.
I've had several very fascinating and confirming Rune draws in the past couple of months. I'll put them into another letter. This one is long enough.
And then, of course, there are the last couple of weeks since I got back to Santa Fe, which are an entirely different matter. That will be another letter, too.
Namaste,
Michael

else may be interested about whatever is meaningful to me in
my life. I don't guarantee anything about content or frequency.
The letters will be whatever they turn out to be. If you want
the best option available for keeping up with what's happening
with me, though, this is it.

COPIES AND FORWARDING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're welcome to freely redistribute This Is My Life (my
letters) if you think someone might be interested in reading it.
Please don't use any of it for profit, though.

MY COMMUNITY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another excellent way to know what's going on with me is to join
the Heart Song Community e-mail list. That's an e-mail
community that provides opportunity for discussing a variety of
topics and sharing about our personal lives. You can get more
information and join at

MY WORK
~~~~~~~~~
If you're interested in my work, I invite you to take a look at
the Heart Song Schedule. That provides information about the
e-zines, classes, workshops, retreats, ministry, web sites, and
other programs offered by the various people and projects of
Heart Song Projects. HSP is an affiliation of people and
projects tied together by shared psychospiritual foundations
and purposes - to contribute to healing, growth, expansion, and
spiritual awakening and to serve Spirit in all life. You can see
the most recent schedules at either
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HeartSongSchedule/messages
or http://igc.topica.com/lists/HSSchedule/read.
