I'm listening. Or at least practicing at listening.

Are you there Universe?  It's me again.

I'm not sure what I want to say to you anymore.  I think I would rather listen to what you have to tell me.  I suppose that's why I'm hear; to try to help me listen better.  I know you are sending me the messages- I just get lost in the translations.  I feel like I'm on the edge of something pretty neato.  I just don't know what the next step is.  Of course knowing what the next step is takes half of the adventure out of the whole thing. 

I've got this idea.  I believe it is a valuable idea, not just to me, also for the community and some dear friends.  I am waiting for your message.  I would like to know if this is what I need to pursue next.  Or no.  I'll take a sign either way, I just would like a sign. 

Ok, you're right, the woman yesterday was a sign.  A confirmation that the service is needed.  And that I could be the one to provide it.  I do believe this, finally.  I think you've made that point very clear.  I appreciate it. Maybe I am just looking for excuses.  There are just a couple unanswered questions.  Is this the right town for me to try this?  And if it is, downtown or outside of town.  The vision came to me as downtown, though almost all practical reasons tell me outside of town is better.  Downtown is dying.  Since I've moved here, I have seen way more businesses close their doors than open new opens.  The energy in town is fairly dark.  Not overwhelming amounts of peace, love and compassion.  The funny thing is I feel it in people.  They want it.  I suppose fear is the thing preventing them from living it out.  We're so close to the border here.  I feel a very strong drain due to that.  There is a lot of fear south of us.  A lot.  Every day it seems to get more pronounced.  It's almost crippling. 

There are pockets of peace.  And love.  And compassion.  I want to weave those pockets together.  Maybe sewn together it would be enough to cover the whole town.  When I first had this brainstorm, I thought it would be large enough to do just that.  My ego chipped in to tell me I was being arrogant.  (I love the lessons ego was sent to give me).  The question now- is this vision arrogant? 

Hey, I just found this quote from,
Deepak Chopra:  "There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle." 

Universe, could you let me know that I'm putting my jigsaw piece in the right spot for me, in this moment?

Thank you.

From my heart, to all hearts, Namaste.
