We have sold our house of 40 years, and some living arrangements are potentially unfolding. Through this process I’ve had some previously unconscious fears surface around finances.

The other day our smoke detector kept saying "Warning. Smoke detected" - it talks and sends alerts to my cell phone so it is quite 'dramatic'!! - and then the alarm would go off. This went on every 10 or 15 minutes for almost an hour. There was no smoke. It was a case of much ado about nothing – nothing to fear. Once I realized what it was telling me, the 'mal-functioning' smoke detector self-repaired.

Then a friend called in a panic about Greece, and the economy, and the wildfires in the west, worried that we will all be living on the streets etc. So much fear around.
My smoke detector episode helps to keep me in the understanding that there is nothing to fear.

The experiences of transfiguration are much bigger and more profound than a week can contain.

Thank you Openhand.
