Last Thursday, October 9th, I gave a noon hour address to a group at Northern Health on chakras. This is a big subject. The chakras are important energy centers in our energy system. When they are in balance, we are in balance, when they are out of balance, so are we. We are a very fine-tuned energy system and we don't get away with anything.

From an energetic point of view, this summer seems to be the culmination of all of our desires for a long, hot summer. Isn't that what everyone wanted, purely and simply? And we got it. From my experience of living here in the north for almost my whole life, this has to be the hottest summer with the longest stretches of good weather that I believe I have experienced.

I read a quote today from Einstein that went "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?"

It was a relevant quote for me because I have been uncluttering my life and environment lately. So it made me feel better as I have a continuous engagement with paper that seems (and may be) unending.

I have always loved paper and books as well as creating images and written material on the paper and in the books.

Life can be messy. Having things neatly organized is a lovely idea but it seems fleeting at times.
