Look around—our world is fracturing,
news breaking like waves against our peace,

One morning last year, an image came to mind of a young cowboy and an actress from Hollywood. Falling in love presents them with some big challenges. The two people have very different lives and goals. Would he move to LA to be with her or would she move to Texas?

“The only way out is through.” It was the answer from the Inner Teacher, who appeared in a vivid dream one night in response to my request for healing. I had poured out my heart to the Inner Teacher expressing what had been troubling me for several months prior to this powerful dream.
The chronic depression, challenges with relationships, and suffering from Bulimia that I had been experiencing for over a decade, had become overwhelming. Twice before, I had entertained suicidal thoughts. Reaching my limit, I wished to leave this earth forever.

Dennis Ernst had been living in the little town of Ashland, Oregon, for eight years, but his dreams were showing him that a change was coming. Soon, he would be leaving the area. He enjoyed his work as an engineer in the small town amongst all the wonderful people who made up the artsy, tourist community. Dennis had learned that windows of opportunity are often brief, so he would need to pay attention if he was going to transition easily through this change.

Catherine lived in a high-rise apartment in downtown Cleveland and owned a ’95 Mercury Grand Marquis. She rarely drove it, since many shops and attractions were within walking distance, some inside her own building. Catherine always placed her keys in a special place, all by themselves, in a bronze dish located in the entry.
One day, she was passing by the dish and happened to glance down. To her dismay, the keys were not in the dish. After searching each room in her apartment thoroughly, her heart sank.

A close friend was getting near the end of life, and over our years of friendship we had shared many ideas, speculations, and solved all the world’s problems in our wide ranging conversations.
He had been a history professor and also enjoyed archaeology, philosophy, religion, the sciences. We had debates running over years, on what is consciousness, how humans got to where we are, and the existence of the cosmos.
