Hello Open and Openhanders,

I've been wondering why I'm drawn to make friends with people who are fully in the programme ie terrified of covid, pro jibjab etc. But my sense of connection at a friendship level is palpable, undeniable and reciprocal. Most of my longstanding friends are all the same, if a little less extreme in their views. Apart from 1 good friend, I never seem to click with people who share my non-3D ideas – the spiritual folk. Reading this I think I must be in the fourth – somehow shining a light at the roots. 

I don't debate stuff - it doesn't come easily to me; I don't elaborate on my views other than to say I'm not jibjabbed when it's a safe situation to be honest in. So I kind of fit in down here just being me. Don't want to be left behind though!  But it's reassuring and encouraging to see that I have a role here. 

My saving grace right now, among a very challenging life, is dancing 5 rhythms. I do get into strange shapes, unravelling all sorts of goodness knows what (does it need naming with language? maybe not) in a wonderful group of dancing people. We don't talk, just move, breathe, dance then go back to our lives. I'm finding connection with people through dance too. It's very beautiful. 

The name flux and flow came quickly to me for this post, I think because my life has been very unsettled for a few years, particularly since March 2021 with redundancy and changing work roles amongst very difficult situations with my children. But I'm riding it and being supported by the universe. 

That's all.  Thank you for your wisdom and sharings Open. 

Jude
