Pope in America
The Pope's pilgrimage to America is historic on many levels. His direct connection to the people - as he stops and embraces the crowds - creates a flow of interconnecting energies that seem part of what is supposed to happen in this timeline. This is more about healing than religion for millions trapped in the confines of physical reality.
My grandson Noah welcomed Autumn outside his home in Westport on his 10th birthday
Wednesday, Pat and I took Anna (on the right) out for dinner on her 66th birthday.
Reminiscing about the past 20 years was hysterical. Anna and Pat are still into energy work - but not like the old days.
Sunday Anna completed two 6-month courses in Feng Shui and Bach Flower Remedies sharing great stories with us.

Stampede kills 220 at Hajj pilgrimage near Mecca CNN - September 24, 2015
A stampede during one of the last rituals of the Hajj season has killed at least 220 people and left 450 others wounded. The stampede occurred during the ritual known as "stoning the devil" in the tent city of Mina, about two miles from Mecca. Hundreds have been killed in past years during the same ceremony. The stoning ritual is done over at least two days, where pilgrims stone three pillars at Mina -- believed to be where the Prophet Abraham stoned the devil when he tried to dissuade him from obeying God's orders to slaughter his son. According to tradition, the event was a test from God, who gave Abraham a ram to slaughter instead. Thursday was the third day of the Hajj. Ten days before the start of Hajj this year, a construction crane crashed through the roof of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, killing 107 people. At least 238 others suffered injuries when a powerful storm toppled the crane. Losing one's life during the Hajj season is considered by many devout Muslims as an entry to heaven.
