Confusion/Guidance
Have you ever watched how geese in the sky arrange themselves into the typical “V” of their migration, shifting from apparent confusion into an orderly flight pattern? We don’t understand the signals by which they help each other find their orientation, but they seem to encourage each other like we humans do. An account of how others found guidance can help us find it, too. In this message board you can read such accounts and can help others by writing your own.

That is so NEAT that you found that book and line at the RIGHT MOMENT. Yesterday I had a black cloud over me too..I am staying in the light and remembering that everything is temporary.. :-)

hello, again yesterday I was presented with a 'situation' and was upset with myself for my natural reaction. Then this morning I picked up a random book and read a random line which said something along the lines of : There is only one way to fight the dark and that is with light... all I have to do now is remember it in the moment when it is needed!

Dear Julia, this is a favourite of mine: Sorrow sweeps the house fiercely, emptying it of everything, then, coming from the source of goodness, a new joy enters (Jelaluddin Rumi) I keep it on a postit by my workpost, so if I find myself in the dark again, I know there is light on the way... Love Susan

You have to go through darkness to truly know the light. :-) Thank you again Juliana!

Dear Julia, What a beautiful message to find this morning! Thank you for sharing your feelings of gratitude and joy. I often wondered how you were during the past two months. May everyone reading your message take heart and follow the advice "little rabbit, az" posted below on 11 March. Love and Blessings to both of you!

On January 7, 2010 I came to this message board and poured out my deepest fears and hurt. WOW. I read this this morning (it's 3:39am) and cried. I'm crying because I have been posting, on message boards and forums (Thank you for inviting me to visit them Julianna in Austria) on how GRATEFUL I am - now two months later FOR sticking it out. I firmly believe that your kind souls (and mine) have helped me through that darkness. I learned that we can change our destiny even in a "thought" or change of ANYTHING. I am seeing that I have started that from the time I came here to now. I am so GRATEFUL (that is my NEW FAVORITE WORD) that I can see this. If anyone is having one of those DARK MOMENTS..I am asking you to WAIT..you will move through it one way or another..and yes reaching out - HERE - is the start. I want to end this message by thanking ALL OF YOU THAT posted a message to me on that fateful night two months ago. I re-read them and felt your love and kindness. Julia

what an exhilarating, freeing feeling to have experienced a labyrinth this way! Thank you!

I've noticed that when I'm in a very dark room and want to find my way out, I have to look for the light and move toward it. Applied to my life that means that when I'm down and searching for meaning or which step to take next, when I follow the light (that which opens my heart), then I slowly and surely find my way. One step at a time.

I had all of these goals in my life and worked hard to attain them and I did but now that I have them I feel that my path lead me to a hole in my center. They say success is getting what you want and happiness is liking what you got. I am grateful for the abundance in my life but feel that I have missed my true calling somehow. The labyrinth helped me realize I can start a new path at any time in my life. I just need to determine what that path should be and take the first step in that direction. The path will unfold before me if I trust that the universe will set the next pearl before me to lead me on the best path for my life.

I am 55. Life often overwhelms me. Trying to avoid bankruptcy caused by my spouse's spending addiction, in a job that has become toxic to my health, wanting to find a place where my gifts and talents can be used and nurtured, and yet, grateful for what I do have--a higher power that loves me. Clinging to that...
