<HTML><BODY STYLE="font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><P>Hello, dear ones all,</P> <P>It has been a long time since I posted to the list--I have been a butterfly in the outskirts, usually just reading and loving all of you through the posts...</P> <P>In reading about Violent conflict and OST, I am reminded of my first sense around OS; and that was "catalyzation". I think OS accelerates that which already exists. By giving light and air to things that are buried, of course they surface, in whatever form they are already manifesting.</P> <P>Does that mean we are predestined to play something out to a violent conclusion if it is headed that way? Does it mean we will not reach understanding with one another through listening and thinking?</P> <P>Not sure, but I think some answers rest in intentions. I think when someone meets the world with a sword, it meets them back the same way. When someone comes with an open heart, they meet open hearts. When someone comes with agendas, they will meet agendas. Call it a karmic mirror? </P> <P>As humans, aren't we a complex bunch? I also take a look at the amazing ability this world has to order itself, at the Divine Dance evident even in an abandoned spider web. I find myself trying to not respond to the inner violence that I used to term ambition (and yep, it was that--there was nothing kind or peaceful about it) and just be-ing in my daily walk. OST has made me more aware that anything is possible, not just the narrow set of outcomes I banked on and struggled against for so long.</P> <P>Blessings,</P> <P>Dylene Cymraes</P> <P>"I love Deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make when they fly past."</P> <P>--Douglas Adams</P></BODY></HTML><br clear=all><hr>Get more from the Web.
