Recently I listened to Jean Houston talking on Women On the Edge of Evolution and she offered a wonderful exercise –
She said:
Make three columns on a page – on the top of the first write the heading –
What do I want from the Universe?
On the second – What does the Universe want from me?
and on the 3rd – What do we – the Universe and I want together?
It’s a great exercise – do it a few days in a row.. get a sense of what is being flowed through to you in this exercise.
Trust is the key.. it is the key to all life.
If we do not trust then nothing really works.
If we trust then everything flows – everything works. As we look outside of ourselves and view the outside world what we are seeing really is our inner reflected back at us.
So an untrusting state of mind sees danger and concern and risk and scary things on each corner of our lives.
The trusting soul looks out and sees friends and gratitude and joy and a friendly universe ready to provide what is needed at each moment.
There is magic in every moment when we trust. the smallest things can pop out at us and 
show us the way to opportunity – to connecting the dots which will allow us to move forward in the flow of our lives.
I have had an experience tonight in just that way. I am leaving for India on the 4th of November – to go and spend time with some friends there who are doing great work with the less privileged people of our world. I intend to visit with Nandini who runs an orphanage – here are her children.. 75 of them.
While eating my evening meal, I was reading a magazine – and the article included information about Stephanie Alexander who has set up and runs the Kitchen Gardens Foundation here in Australia – a wonderful organisation that helps kids establish great gardens in their schools.
The lights went on.. the picture of the orphanage garden came in my mind and I was immediately inspired to write to Stephanie and request a link .. a way to become a sister school .. some support for Nandini’s children through the establishment of mutual gardens in other countries. It’s just a seed. I have sent the ‘hello’ email to Stephanie.. I will keep you posted on the outcome of this simple message that came through the connections that the Universe provides if only we have the eyes, ears and heart to receive them.
