Today, the big theme is peace. Or the lack of it. Or the need for it. Or the way in which it seems to be so infuriatingly elusive. Like soap in the bath, it becomes harder to grasp the harder you try to get it. A subtle, sensitive approach is required. Peace comes with patience. And patience is not easy to summon if you don't feel peaceful. But the sky now speaks of comfort, reassurance, an end to aggravation, and a far greater sense of security. You don't feel any of that yet? Relax just a little and you will!
The world is full of people who are busily urging other people, 'to do what's sensible'. As few folk want to be seen as renegades or troublemakers, they are only too keen to comply. They may, indeed, criticise those who have given them such advice by suggesting that they are still not being quite sensible enough. Everyone wants to outdo everyone else in the race to be seen as sane. And do you know what that is? That's crazy! Something that once seemed ridiculous now makes all the sense in the world. It's not really that something is fundamentally wrong. It's that you've got too much of one component and not enough of another. Think of your life as a stew. You want some salt and pepper in it. You just don't want so much that you can't taste the other ingredients... or that every mouthful makes you feel uncomfortable. Swinging to the other extreme and seeking bland food won't really be the answer. It's a question of perspective and proportion. What can help you achieve this now? Patience. And a little wisdom. 
You have been trying to arrive at an answer for some while. Do you now have it? Well, it has not arrived in a glorious moment of revelation. You have not suddenly felt inclined to sit bolt upright and yell,  you have slowly crept, by a process of elimination, towards a new understanding. So, put this to the test. Try leaning a little harder on the notion, or hope, that looks most likely to support you. The sooner you find out how much it really has to offer you, the better off you will start to become in every way.
