November
“I was shown the earth like a draught board painted in big black and white squares. As rain came down, the black paint ran into the white, and the whole became a dirty grey. Then even heavier rain came, and the whole was transformed into the purest white. I heard the words:
Have faith. Hold fast and know that the whole earth and all in it are going through a tremendous cleansing process. All is very, very well, for all is going according to my plan. Be at perfect peace.”
– from “Opening Doors Within” by Eileen Caddy/Findhorn Press
My how the year does get away. We lost two lovely neighbors this fall, one to advanced old age and one to New York City. The garden’s put away, the hostas and other plants are cut back.  The deer are making themselves seen, and…a wild turkey has taken up residence in our residential hamlet by the lower lake. We’ve named her Tina. Today, she’s making herself comfortable on our back deck right outside the kitchen door. She probably knows Thanksgiving is still safely three weeks away
