Brief news from the OE and random thoughts

Hey everyone!
I thought I should pass this information on for those of you who may not be aware. John had heart bypass surgery on Monday, and to my knowledge is recovering well so far. I haven't talked to Nancy much about it, as this was all via email, so my information is limited. She said I could share it with you all, and I thought it would be nice for us to "hold" John and Nancy. Ya know in the loving, OE, IFS-infused sort of way. There shouldn't be any reason to worry, but this gives a reminder for us to stay in the OE loop.

A few days ago I did have a dream that Rachel made a cameo in, but I remember so little of it now. She probably said something profound that changed my dream-world perception.... That time in Oregon is like a dream now, something I remember vividly, in a bizarre way that makes my heart ache because I'm unknowingly searching for some truth that lies just out of reach. It says "remember this moment, you're life depends on it." I can only hope that I truly feel that passion and can rise to the occasion. I never felt so human and real as I did in that little wooded area, surrounded by mountains and wonderful people. So often, I miss the clarity of unhindered self-expression and exploration.

All you people in Holden (and on their way) make me jealous, I bet it's wonderful there. I wish I could come and join you, but alas I plan to dig my debt hole even deeper in the next couple years by going back for a degree in massage therapy. So, we'll see how that works out. I miss you all, perhaps we can make our paths cross again soon in some place other than our dreams or over the web of electronic information.

In your lives, I hope all is as well as it can be.
All my love,
Racheal
