-We seem to have survived September.

 - It seemed like, after the eclipse on the 11th, all kinds of people were on our case, snarling and snarring at us every chance they had. Even the nicest, sweetest people we know.

 - We did manage to get out to a meditation on White Lake That was nice.

 - Sad that our friend, Rob, wasn't there.

 - But there were a lot of people there, and some of them were very inspiring. I believe that Cathi and I came away energized and inspired, probably heartened- Maybe we didn't come away thinking we were any less weird than a lot of people have tried to convince us we were since.... all our lives- But if we're weird, there are more and more of us, and we're finding and nurturing each other.

  - At one point, while we were in the midst of a 'guided meditation', I felt a lot of light in the room and opened my eyes to see if it was real, or imagined, or something else entirely. Many of us were in a circle, sitting along the edge of a large room. Someone across the circle from me was sitting with her back to a window, there were a lot of windows over there. And behind her was the lake, and the sun had come out and was shining very brightly on the lake, bouncing a lot of sparkling light right at me, with this young-ish woman sitting there, meditating, looking like she was floating in a see of sparkling light.

  - That was only one of the very neat things that happened.

  - Another was seeing tiny watery anomalies and bright white orbs- and little bits of shadow manifesting and zinging around near people, over their heads or a bit to one side. But maybe some other time- we might talk about that.
