tabula rasa

Clare,

I don't think there is a blank slate…
the tabula rasa…
we are born with the genetic make-up that influences our temperaments and actions…
we are born into a time, place, society and family that influence us from the very first seconds…
maybe even while we are in utero...
and then there's the collective consciousness...
so is it reasonable to want to go back to nothingness?

Have you heard of Chimerics?
People who carry two or more distinctly different DNA cell types?
The myth is a creature of various body types. The reality is that twins exchange cells in utero.
Also, women can exchange cells across the placenta with their children.
Just imagine what that means for us…
we carry the DNA combinations of our ancestors and the DNA of our children...
which means part of our husband and their ancestral line.
That is too much to think about.

So, maybe a better alternative is to return to the collective consciousness…
tap into that font of wisdom…
make that our belonging place.

We received a disappointing 4 inches of snow…
the storm moved East of us.
Oh well, somehow I got 2 snow days out of 4 inches…
the office closed today anticipating a large overnight snow accumulation.

I have to get the young ones up and moving towards school.
Love and Light my beautiful sister,
Maggie
