Yes, absolutely, nature provides us with what we need -- as soon as we relax and surrender control to Her :-) Having recently had a persistently-leaky roof on our Maine house, and having strained my brain on trying to find the best way to fix it (not being particularly handy myself, and the roofer who originally did our whole roof four years ago having disappeared), I finally remembered to "let go and let God" -- and amid the relief and joy of relaxing into that immense Love, immediately was given information on whom to contact and how: ask the old roofer's wife if she knew anyone who would like the job. She did, and he came right over. Not only did our roof get fixed immediately, but this same angel- carpenter (who had just moved to Maine and who was just starting to look for work) is now helping us transform the whole back end of our house -- putting in lovely 1830's 8-over-12 windows and French doors (which a friend had salvaged for me from a Greek-Revival house on Martha's Vineyard, and which had been sitting in my garage for four years), new stairs, removing 25-year-old vinyl siding, repairing corner-boards, sill-plates, re-clapboarding, insulating, drywalling, etc. If we have time before Sept., we'll even be putting in another bathroom. The whole process (while rather hard on my body, not really used to construction-work for three weeks straight) has been profoundly satisfying and moving; every little dream I ever had about improving this house is unfolding Now. (I can't explain it, but those new old windows and doors and restored clapboards are so "right" they make me want to cry. I don't think it is just construction fatigue! *lol*) (By the way, our Maine house is thoroughly un-Vastu -- doors to the northwest, southwest, and southeast -- and I couldn't care less; it is beautiful :-) ) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
