Hi Sally and everyone:

I feel disappointed in myself that I haven't been able to sit for long
and meditate since my return to Sydney, after my week long Silent
Retreat.

There is some mysterious 'change your patterns factor' that I haven't
learnt yet. I want to quieten down and meditate, (I live with three
teenagers, one 22 yr. old, and an ex-husband, in a large house....!!),
but the time doesn't present itself. I have bungy-jumped right back
into housekeeping and entertaining myself.

I obviously need to prioritise, put first things first, and upgrade my
paradigms.

Despite all the above I have felt the 'call' to connect to my inner
being.

I went to see the movie *The Other Sister*. I found it very emotional,
although I don't usually cry at movies. The scene where the mentally
challenged daughter yells at her mother telling her I can't be, do, what
you want me to be, do, but what I can do is Love, is very powerful.

nice to be back,
hope everyone is feeling well and refreshed,
warmly,

Pauline.
