Dear Yogis,
Wednesday, Wednesday…. the days pass so quickly. Terms end – almost.
Things are changing – couples spitting, homes selling, people passing on… everything making for big change. When there is a separation and divorce (whatever form it may take) keep in mind that the person you are leaving, you asked to be with you (when you yourself were on “the other side”), so that you could learn the things you can’t learn on your own, patience, calm, or whatever… I am doing more “past life” readings and tarot as people seek the next step.
Sometimes you need to return to earth with a special angel who will do the things needed to teach you the lessons nothing else could teach you. What would Jesus be without Judas for instance? You may not like the lessons you need, and it may take you a very long time to learn them, but don’t hate your teacher – honour him/her, and “may you always be friends” as it says in the Hindu wedding ceremony. No “till death do us part” for them, they are much too realistic and forgiving.
If you don’t learn, if you don’t want to learn, or if you don’t know there are things to learn, you will get to come back and try again. Lucky you!
The lady in the photo is a gypsy (or a witch), hence the black hat. She may have had a broom which was a sign of a “brewster” – a lady brewer. These courageous stalwarts of communities who made brews when village water was dangerous and dispensed herbal remedies, were so successful that they were burned and dunked by the church or jealous men. Nothing much changes does it?
ART
Here is the painting I am restoring – looks a whole lot better don’t you think. You could hardly tell there was a painting there in the beginning – you could just see the tip of the mountain peak through all the grime. Now you can see that it is in fact a mountain scene. Painted by a New Zealand artist from the 1920’s, I think it is going to look splendid when it is reframed.
Now for the frame. I will show you when it is completed. If you have a painting that needs restoring, come see me.

Unexpectedly more students enquiring for class, and I have both classes full on Monday… Wednesday class is stable at the moment.
