“Along the river’s summer walk,
The withered tufts of asters nod;
And trembles on its arid stalk
the hoar plum of the golden-rod.”

Spirit Library: Do You Dare?
a message from Brenda Hoffman
Dear Ones,
Maybe you feel your life is not as you expected or wanted. Or you have the 3D-type life you wished for. It does not matter because your future is the sparkling joy you hoped for throughout this life and many others.
You are in the midst of another Rubicon crossing. As if you were in the dark and a light switched on.

Treehugger: Do Plants Have Feelings? A Science Explainer
Turns out they do. Now the question is, how complex?
One of the main distinctions between plants and animals is how they respond to stimuli. Humans have brains, where stimuli are understood and responses formed. “Emotional” responses are merely complex responses to complex social stimuli.

History
Glastonbury is a small town in Somerset, in the Southwest of England. It is believed to have been inhabited since Neolithic times (10,000-4,500 BCE)—with clear evidence of residents at this location during the 7th millennium BCE. Legend claims that the first abbey in Glastonbury was built by none other than Saint Patrick

Inner Journey:
TRUST IN ABUNDANCE
“Once, when we were discussing a world peace project with my teacher, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, somebody asked him, ‘Where is all the money going to come from?’ And he replied without hesitation, ‘From wherever it is at the moment.'”
— Deepak Chopra
How can you open to greater trust that you’ll always have what you need?
Fear, doubt, anxiety and disbelief all serve to repel abundance from us. Faith, love and gratitude for the gifts of our lives keep energy and abundance flowing. The more we trust in our well being, the more it will be realized.
“Manifestation is an act of trust. It is the soul pouring itself out into its world, like a fisherman casting a net to gather in the fish he seeks; with each cast properly made, we will bring what we need to us, but first we must hurl ourselves into the depths without knowing just what lies beneath us.”
— David Spangler

A Note from the Universe
The time has come.
The stage is set.
Nothing else has to happen.
Immortality is assured.
Your thoughts are like laser beams.
Your feelings are like kryptonite (the good kind).
Neither time, nor space, nor that which they contain will ever be the same.
You cannot fail,
The Universe

Today’s Tarot: Wednesday Justice
A past wrong against you might be set right today. It’s important that you give others a fair chance and don’t automatically discount what they have to say or offer. You don’t need to satisfy everyone but you do need to make the effort to let them have their say and their moment to contribute. Be confident and don’t feel threatened by anything.
Today’s Tarot: Thursday The Tower
Some days something blows up and there’s nothing you can do. It has nothing to do with you, actually; you just happen to be there. While today will probably be uneventful, you may feel emotionally vulnerable and find yourself imaging one worst case scenario after another. Consider these imaginings as drills or dress rehearsals and don’t let any of this unnerve you. You’re fine and will be fine no matter what.
