Go into the western sun vortex for insight, die in it's heat and be reborn in the rising in the East. What a interesting last few days. So many things swirling around trying to deal with the important, sort out the chafe. Seems like a lot of chafe. Am I missing the important stuff? I like this picture, because it reminds me that even though the West is a place of going within, a dark inner place of introspection. It also shines a light on the those things that we might think are too dark to see.

I went West for my high school reunion. There were 25 students that actually graduated that night in May long ago. Of those 25, we 14 showed up. Of those 25, 8 have crossed over. They are to have another reunion in 5 years. Not sure I will go, have released the need to be there. Thought I could re-capture a connection, was able to say hello to a couple I had missed. But don't feel the need to go back. Someone joked we might need to have one sooner.

There were 2 Carols in our class, and both of them were there. Of the 5 James's in our class, 3 were there. My 2 bus mates were there, we road the bus together everyday from first grade till we graduated. There good memories, but that is all they are memories and not necessarily one that come up often. So introspection, death re-birth go into the West and take a look.
