Secure Sharing

Wild geese settle on the stone. Eating and drinking, feasting! feasting! The Way opens. You find a secure place and a warm connection. Free yourself from all the old dramas. Acting things out now would be a trap. This is an omen of future happiness. Step outside the norms. These goings and comings will release the energy now bound up in the past. Co-operate with the on-going process of change.
