Can you give me a few more clues to where they might be? A name? I get the UHall4 drainpipe reference, so we must know one another...<br /><br />My interest is piqued!John Carosellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093496153565390998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245636821258519576.post-84708469204311631722010-03-05T21:14:58.422-08:002010-03-05T21:14:58.422-08:00J,

When we look at the bridge, not only can one move in either direction, but if one walks across the uneven, rocky railings, one little slip can mean a quick, untimely view of Cascadilla. But hey, if you can climb the drainpipe three stories up UH4, what's so scary about walking on the stone railings over a gorge? Unless of course, one fears heights as I do.<br /><br />Perhaps a couple years ago, I read the biography from the school project. I found it very interesting. Please thank the author for writing it. The resemblance between the subject and author was striking. Congratulations. :)<br /><br />Some parts of the biography I knew, some I didn't, and some didn't mesh with my memories. Maybe I am getting old and my memories are playing cruel games.<br /><br />Be well my friend throughout your life's journey.<br />Best Wishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245636821258519576.post-6444157672292811262010-03-02T09:47:23.911-08:002010-03-02T09:47:23.911-08:00Hi Renee!

I am increasingly convinced that such programming is responsible for a great deal of suffering in the world.<br /><br />JoAnn, thank you for the very astute observation, and in so many ways you are SO right. I will indeed look down and enjoy the view. And the ride. That perspective might be an essential part of the next stage of my life, and the "success" I'm seeking. At the moment, I think to do as you suggest might give me vertigo. <b>Wow.</b> Yeah. As I do it, I get butterflies in my stomach. Quite a powerful pearl of wisdom, it seems. <br /><br />Perhaps with practice I will learn to trust my wings, and not fear the currents of the wind.<br /><br />Thanks, guys!John Carosellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735232084655008925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245636821258519576.post-9589832311990946382010-02-28T11:25:14.111-08:002010-02-28T11:25:14.111-08:00Are you still thinking of success, ruin, failure, ...Are you still thinking of success, ruin, failure, etc. in the world's terms? You have already succeeded in some rather challenging lessons through trusting the messages you were given and working your way through the process. And you have already shown courage in following the messages and letting them take you wherever they led. So, build on what you have already accomplished, trust yourself and the Universe, courage (to have heart) you already have in abundance. You are already flying!!! Look down and enjoy the view and the ride!JoAnn Stankavagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245636821258519576.post-36482411066176227022010-02-27T21:57:44.387-08:002010-02-27T21:57:44.387-08:00Enough is a tricky concept.

I think it's natural not to understand "enough" on an instinctual level. But I'd like to think that we've moved beyond instinct, that we can understand at least intellectually when we have enough.<br /><br />And I'd also like to believe we can teach ourselves to trust that the universe will provide-- but it's a hard lesson to learn. Remember the fable of the grasshopper and the ant? We're trained from an early age to stock up against the worst that could happen, instead of letting go and reaching for joy.<br /><br />I hope we both find a soft landing on the other side.Amalia Dillinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005039978668326144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245636821258519576.post-59534632497436001982010-02-27T17:56:47.569-08:002010-02-27T17:56:47.569-08:00It's an honor to share.
