M.(Morgan, and now we know why he just says M) Scott Peck talks about emptiness. He says it’s the hardest stage of community growth. And I think generally, a phase of reaching emptiness is very hard. But you read it and think ‘oh yes that sounds hard, but nothing I can’t do.’ But I don’t think it works like that funnily. Emptiness requires risk. Risk requires vulnerability. And vulnerability in such unknown circumstances is a very hard thing to relinquish power and control for. It requires faith. And that kind of faith…it’s something that isn’t easy to give.

But I’ll work on it.

I think January really could have been one of the most emotionally intense months in a long time. I did say in greeting 2006 that it would be the year of heightened ups and downs. And well sometimes we get what we bargain for. I’d say it might be a year of the unknown.

I made a blanket yesterday. It was real great. It’s red and gray and small and cute. I want to use it as a picnic rug.
