Elena -- I marvel at your tenacity. When and if the people of your
country wake up and find themselves in a place that really feels good,
and works well for the - - it will because of the continuing efforts of
people such as your self who believed in them and continued to open space
for their lives to grow in. As you described so well -- some will choose
to enter that space and some won't. I am not surprised the
government officials were slow to enter. In my experience, such
people often see their job as The "Closers" of Space. . . so
why would they want to support something that would put them out of
business? And then there was "that woman" who called. She
obviously "got it". When that happens to me it makes everything
worth while. And for sure -- what actually happens has little if anything
to do with what I might have planned. Which is almost inevitably a
blessing. My plans look so weak compared to what actually
happens.<br><br>
Great to hear from you.<br><br>
