What If It's True?

The other day, I got an email from a listserve I'm on that summarizes a talk recently given by a former Isreali intelligence agent and bodyguard to Golda Meir who has a new book out. OK, so he's promoting his book, but he's also the guy who told the CIA a month before 9/11 many details of the planned terrorist attack. He has an extensive track record. He is now saying that a wave of simultanous terrorist attacks will sweep both major US cities and rural areas in the next few months. My crystal ball is offline these days, so I have no idea whether this will come about, but I find myself wondering - if I did know this was coming, what would I do now? Anything different from what I'm already doing?

It's kind of like the "what would you do today if you knew you were going to die tomorrow" question that I love to live with, but different in significant ways, because it's not so much about  dying oneself as it is about the end of a way of life we are used to. This message is being discussed in many different ways in many different circles. We are on the edge of some major shifts in life as we have know it.

Having had the experience a month ago of unexpectedly hearing my leg bone snap after a fall, I've been with this realization of how life as you know it can change in an instant. Things I took for granted, like being able to drive somewhere or hop into the bath tub or shower whenever I wanted, are suddenly difficult if not impossible without assistance.

As it turned out, life had prepared me well to surrender to this experience without my "trying" to prepare specifically for this event.

And I am still in the process of fine tuning - where is that delicate balance point between when is it appropriate to go with the flow, and when is it appropriate to stand fast and say "no!" not in my name.

Would love to hear others feelings and thoughts and experiences around some of these mysteries ....

Love,
Taj
