The powers that be are having a grand old time playing push me pull me. I feel "messages" and kicks in the behind. this past 5 days my life at home has been a mess, and getting worse BUT I went out of town Saturday-Monday and had giant "signs" of what was there for the taking. So I sat home today, somewhat frantic, trying to get the ball rolling on the big change. Part of the change involves moving, and my sister just bought a new house, so I was looking around for things I could pass on to her before packing. The first thing that caught my eye was a framed (chinese?) symbol, it has been on my wall for a long time. I don't remember ever reading it before, but it was hung right above my bed. It says

"CHAOS - WHERE GREAT DREAMS BEGIN

Before a great vision can become reality there may be difficulty. Before a person begins a great endeavor, they may encounter chaos. As a new plant breaks the ground with difficulty, foreshadowing the huge tree, so must we sometimes push against difficulty in bringing forth our dreams.

Out of Chaos, Brilliant Stars are Born"

I think I will keep that hanging for now=)
