"He always said that people spend too much time looking back at what was and not enough time enjoying what is. I think he's sort of sorry, though, that he didn't take more pictures."
_______
"Finally, somebody got a close up picture of her little girl's face - and a dog is licking food from it."
Sara read the caption: Little girl won't wash her face so she gets a lickin'. Both girls laughed.

"These boys killed this man, Solomon, with a gun?"
"Oh no, Annette, Solomon's not a man. He's an owl."
"Your dead friend is an owl?"
Sara and Seth looked at each other. This was coming out all wrong. "Well, he's not dead now. But he is an owl. A talking owl."
Annette took a deep breath and leaned back against the tree. "Oh, I see."
Sara and Seth sat quietly, looking at each other and then at Annette. This wasn't going well at all.
_______
"He's an owl, right?" Annette chimed in quickly.
Seth and Sara looked at each other and grinned.
"Well, yes, he is that, but oh, Annette, he is so much more! Solomon says that we are all much more than we think we are."
_______
Sara looked out from her hiding place. If I were your kid, I'd just build a raft and float as far away from you as possible, Sarah though. Away from all of you. You're just mean, awful people who don't know anything.
_______
You have stood in many places that looked worse than this one - and things have always worked out before. Don't give in to negative speculation.
_______
Plop! Well, hello, my fine, fearless, friendly, freedom-loving, female, featherless friends!
_______
. . . if you were speaking directly to the fairies of the Universe, what would you tell them that you would like them to do?
_______
Step Two is the work of the fairies of the Universe. Here's how it works: Step One is: You ask. Step Two is: The fairies of the Universe answer. And Step Three is: You must be in the receiving mode of what you are asking for.

It is important to realize that things are never working against you. All things are working for you at all times.
_______
"I also noticed that Pete's Drugstore burned down last night."
"Oh, well, that's probably for the best," Sara answered. "I've been eating far too many candy bars, anyway."
"I heard your little brother ran away from home."
"Then it's true! The Universe is answering my every desire," Sara replied. "My world is now complete."
________
"Oh, she's just full of lucky days. But not me. I don't have lucky days."
"Well," Sara said timidly, "how about a lucky moment? Maybe you could just start there."
________
The most important thing to understand is that once you have asked, all kinds of things come into place to give you what you have asked for. You don't have to continue to ask again and again. It is best when you realize that once you have taken Step One (the asking) your work is to jump right to Step Three (the allowing).
________
It seems like magic to some, like miracles to others, like good luck or good fortune to others, but what always has happened is, somehow, consciously, or unconsciously, deliberately or indeliberately - YOU HAVE TO LET IT IN!
________
Let's see, what rhymes with owl? Howling owl. Not quite right. Allow. Allowing owl! I am an allowing owl, I am an allowing owl, I am an allowing owl.
Much better! I think I like it!
________
The way you feel right now - that's the way life is supposed to feel in every moment. Perfect and expanding. Enough, but becoming more. Satisfied, but eager for something else. Complete - but never, ever finished.
________
Who you are has come over you, Sara. Or perhaps it is better to say, you are now allowing who you really are to be. This is your normal state of being. This is who everyone would be - if they could just let it be.
________
That is how is happens, Sara. Little by little, people find things to worry about, and they feel less and less joyful as they find more and more things to worry about. But you know, Sara, it doesn't have to be that way. You don't have to let the sediment pile up on you, muting your clarity and your joy. If you polish your gem a little every day, you'll remain bright and clear, and anyone can polish themselves off anytime they want to by reaching for thoughts that feel better. You don't have to think thoughts that make you feel bad, Sara. There are plenty of other thoughts to choose from.
________
. . . I have not been teaching you to fix things. What I have been teaching you is to put yourself in a position, in a vibrational position, to allow your natural well-being to come to you.
________
You live in a big world, Sara, with many other people who may want things to be different than you want them to be. You cannot convince them all to agree with you, you cannot coerce them to agree with you, and you cannot destroy all of those who do not agree with you. Your only path to a joyous, powerful experience is to decide, once and for all, that you intend to feel good, no matter what. And as you practice turning your thoughts to things that do feel good - now you have discovered the secret to life.
________
"This is soooooo weird!" Annette said, shivering as she spoke.
"Just the right amount of weird." Sara laughed.
Just the perfect amount of weird, Solomon said, as he plopped down on the platform with the three of them.
"Solomon!' they all said at once, in anticipation of what was about to happen. "Why are we all here?"
________
Tonight I will fly with the truest part of who you are.
________
"Oh boy, was that weird!"
Just the right amount of weird. She heard Solomon's voice in her head.
________
Well, hello, my fine featherless friends. Or should I say, my glorious gaggle of ghosts?
________
Understanding that we are all different, and yet perfect as we are . . . that is normal.
