Saturday AM in the sweet Sun Harbor Marina. We've just learned, via loudspeaker, that John Mitchell won the fish catching competition, bagging a 107.3 lb sea bass. Astounding! I am picturing John, over on the Pt Loma dock, passing beers around and accepting hardy pats on the back for his feat. As much as I love eating fish, you'd think I'd be more accepting of the whole ritual. But something about "sport" fishing leaves me ocean cold. The participants seem so happy to kill the fish after fighting them on a line while writhe and jerk for their lives. Ah well, I'm sure to be naive around the way most of the meat on my dinner plate comes to be there. Enough of that...for now.

Been reading posts on "What's Up On Planet EArth" and find them thouroughly supportive of what I have been going through. Basically, Karen Bishop (the author) covers the ground of our spiritual ascension and what it's doing to our bodies/minds in this time of great change. Most of the symptoms she mentions are recognizable to me and have me wondering if this is so much of what I've been going through over the last 7-8 years when my worldy footing has seemed so unsure. She also speaks of timing and how, if we are hesitating with some project of passion, it could be because the timing is not yet perfect. Yeah. You could think that would give me a perfect excuse to put off my writing, but somehow it propels me to write and see any delay as meaningful and not just me being lazy or scared. Thank you Karen!

Love to all,
Linda
