By the light.....of the hot pink moon...

And then there were more witches.  This one, Gilda, cannot seem to get messenger, Gabriel, to vacate his perch and allow her a moment for broom flying under the moon.  If she's a smart witch, she won't shake him off.  She might look and listen and ponder.  It is hard to stop and breathe when messengers appear in the middle of things.  

How many times have I looked back and said "AHA!  There was a message!" after I barged past it to keep up with whatever I had planned for the day? Messages from the universe are rarely conveniently timed.  I'd wager they appear MOSTLY when we are rushing about.  And maybe BECAUSE we are rushing about.  Hmmm.

There is so much busyness and hurrying in the modern world.  Some of it self-imposed, some of it imposed by others.    We begin to think it is normal, expected, beneficial, even. I am the WORST offender on this topic - productivity is balm for my angsty-ness.   

So that's that.  I am tossing out my "to do" list today (EEEEK!  PANIC!) and just going with the flow.  Oh, and perhaps I should set down this broom, too.
