Katherine:
Your voice is always welcome here. The voice is my way to listen to my
heart, as well as the heart of others. in my early years I always wanted
to be the wise one that waited until the end with the sage advice, but
it was not my way, and I must be true to my way and learn within the
model I was given. There is lots of literature to keep us silent, "those
that know don't speak, and those that speak don't know. Is it that we
are to give the grace of our knowing to Creator and only speak when we
have learning to do? I like this place because even when we share the
answers that have worked for us we are asking again, does this still
work for me. Did it ever work for me? The answers come from others
sharing their experience, and co creating our learning and the teachings
that arise from within. For me the answers come as I am guided by my
heart, and I see the words on the page, I become instinctively aware
what is right, as my heart and soul speak to me of the answers that
Creator is giving me. The Lord helps those that help them self. We are
the self for each other, we are the ones that take each other out of our
heads and into our hearts; into our castle.

When the student is ready the teacher will come. We are the teacher and
the student. The answers are in us, because Creator is speaking to and
through us every moment of every day. It is up to us to listen, not to
our brain, but to our heart , soul and feelings.
In Peace and Healing
