On the train to work. I just found out this morning that SJ Tucker is going to be in town for a concert next Thursday at Life Force Arts Center. I’m really excited. I love seeing Sooj. Hopefully she’s staying with George and I, but she may have other plans. I can’t wait to see her.

I’m in a really solidly good mood this morning, and I’ve got no great explanation for it. Something must have gone right in the dream world last night. Or maybe I’ve just got euphoric hangover from Karate last night. My forearms are a bit sore, which is always frustrating. Any exertion or lifting with my hands twinges something fierce.

I’m listening to Jason Mraz, who I probably enjoy far too much. Perhaps after “Waiting for my Rocket to Come” I’ll listen to Mika “Life in Cartoon Motion.” That would be good. I just found out yesterday that the Killers have a new album out. I can’t wait to get it. Hopefully in the next couple weeks.

Tonight I’m meeting with @si_storm to prep for the workshop and ritual this Saturday. I’m looking forward to it. This will be my first big Brotherhood event since my initiation into the inner order. Things don’t feel quite the same.

I’ve said for a long time that the universe conspires to help us. If we give of ourselves and work in the current we are given the support and strength to accomplish what we task ourselves with. I’ve had the feeling recently that I’m waiting to step back into the currents. I feel like I’ve been on a little bit of a break. As though I’m anchored and letting the current move me about, but not carry me very far.

Today I feel like I’ve set my rudder and tacked my sails and pointed myself in the direction I’ll be going for a while. If you didn’t already see, last night I started a new writing project Messages from Somewhere Else. This is my journal of divination and spirit communication. I’m going to do a lot of Tarot, and once I find or create some images I’ll do Runes and Ogham depending on the mood of the space. After some success and time I’ll begin trying to work more directly with inspired communication and listening to the spirits.

Last night I asked how I could better learn to commune with the spirits. The reading indicated that I need to get out of my own way. I need to counsel myself to silence and patience, and work towards the ability to empty myself so there is space for the spirits and gods to come through.

Almost to work now. It’s funny how listening intently to the world around you can make such a big difference sometimes. The universe conspires to aid us, but it can do a better job if we’re listening.
