Thank you for sharing this. I am the watcher at the window too- protecting my loved ones. Today I watched a tornado form in the swirling clouds above our house, through the windows of my daughter's room. One eye on the winds, one eye on my daughter, dog and cats...just in case. It dissipated and the storm passed but there was a lesson there

Oh Linda, this must be so powerful to live through. And frightening. Experiencing the powers of nature like this...never been in such a situation. Oh now that I recall yes. As a child, in Greece, I lived through a terrible hearthquake (magnitude 8)... it must be the same ...a mixed feeling of powerlessness, fear but also surrender....

Beautiful and powerful! Thank you for sharing, Sage! I relate at this moment - so often the case! I just (why I am on the computer tonight!) booked tickets for my 12 year old son to travel abroad with his father (we are recently separated) to visit family. Deep breaths! While I do trust my still-husband, this will be the first time I am SO FAR AWAY from my 'baby'. : ). He is approaching manhood and it is time for me to start letting go. Trust he has his path and is protected by our ancestors and the Universe/Goddess/God.

Thank you dearest Michelle. It will be a sort of initiation for you too. The "letting go" is very difficult thing to do, the most difficult thing I have ever done, and continously trying to do - but I do have to admit that at the end of the day, it is a very powerful tool. for our health, for our integrity, our sanity...
