6. I feel like a deer caught in the headlights..

I just had a conversation with my best friend who, I thought, was on the same page as me spiritually and she is all of a sudden just lost.. saying that evil has won. there is no light that can withstand this darkness.. I knew not to argue with her about this, I could tell that the events of today had hit her and her partner hard too, so I started agreeing with her thinking that if I took it to the farthest reaches of the mind that she would stop me and say no, she didn't really believe it was that hopeless.. but she didn't. She went even further, totally scoffing at the idea that there is any real choice at all now and absolutely believing that there is no plan, and that all we can do is try to maintain in the darkness, because the darkness has won and we are hopeless and helpless. I happen to believe that there is always a larger plan than anyone can fathom.. we cannot know all of it and probably could not understand it anyway. But I have to believe that some how there was some kind of purpose for what has happened today.. I cannot believe that evil has won and that we are lost. I just can't.

But talking to her, I found myself sitting and feeling more alone than ever, covered in words and ideas that just reeked of illusion and fear. I was planning to go celebrate the 21st with her and her partner, but I know now that I cannot.. I cannot be near them now..they have just embraced everything I have been working so hard to let go of. I don't know what to do.

I can definitely feel the darkness now. I cannot imagine how horrible it must be for the children who were there and for the families and friends of those children.. My heart goes out to them and I send them love and light to guide them and to guide us all
