I do not usually open up mass emails, but once in awhile I am inspired;  when I do so, it seems to be the perfect moment!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have arrived in Santa Barbara and have, once again, been in awe of Mother's Grace which is always pervading me.  I would say for the last four years I have been "in the flow of life," that does not mean that everything is manifesting as roses, but there is an undercurrent within me which appears strong, steady and vital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day I was in doubt (yes, I fall into these old patterns from time to time, though I might add they have become quite fleeting) and I started to have a little panic about money.  My thoughts were abundant, "what if I don't get a job, what if I drown in this American sea, etc..................."  At this moment I asked the Divine for a sign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I was driving at the time, running around town trying to remember the city layout of SB and I was not really whole-heartedly in the moment of my asking.  It was quickly forgotten about (I told you these moments are fleeting)  and I was humming to Michael Kolasa's 'Kali Durge' chant (the newest cd I am enamoured with).  Anyways, within 5 minutes the phone rang.  I had put a claim in against a dry cleaners who had ruined my travel blanket and had refused to give me any compensation.  Well, here was the owner on the phone.  He apologized and agreed to reimburse me for the amount I was requesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, when you are in doubt remember, "the moment is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;always&lt;/span&gt; perfect!"  Enjoy your day and I hope you are inspired by the poem below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Ways Love&lt;br /&gt;Shivani&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(66, 125, 100);font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(66, 125, 100);
