an estranged friend of mine is dying. i've been contemplating whether i need to contact him, and yes is winning. you'd be surprised how many people in my life with whom i've shared my quandry, whose judgement i respect, seem to have cold hearts, but maybe they're right, i should leave him alone, examine my motivations for wanting to reach out.  
so i did examine my motivations, and like a mother i want him to know he is loved, no matter what.  that is the simple part.  my horoscope this week complimented my ability to love w/o complication.  that affirmation feels really right and really good.
i haven't done anything wrong, i drew a firm boundary when it was required.  i haven't failed, but part of me believes we don't walk away from those who act badly.  you know, like to tribes who encircle their misfits and demand responsibility, sharing the positive attributes of that person, their contributions; a community court, or throwing the offender in a strong river to incent their spirit to fight to live.

today i am at peace about our movement towards the light.  we'll be okay.  look around.
