Pianist Michael Arnowitt to discuss and perform Aaron Copland Wednesday, Jan. 10, 7 p.m.—RUTLAND—Pianist Michael Arnowitt will present the music of Aaron Copland in a lecture performance at Trinity Church of Rutland, 85 West St., on Jan. 10 at 7 p.m. The event, “Aaron Copland’s America,” is part of the Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesdays lecture series and is free and open to the public. (Note: this event takes place on a special date on the second Wednesday of January.)

A longtime presenter for First Wednesdays, Arnowitt will perform and discuss the iconic and distinctly American music of Aaron Copland — including music from “Four Piano Blues,” “Piano Variations,” “El Salon Mexico,” “Conversation at the Soda Fountain,” his famous “Appalachian Spring,” and music he wrote for the film version of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.”

Michael Arnowitt is a classical and jazz pianist and recording artist who has performed with orchestras throughout the U.S. and Europe. Arnowitt’s life and music is the subject of an award-winning documentary by the American filmmaker Susan Bettmann, “Beyond Eighty-Eight Keys” (2004). His First Wednesdays lecture performances have explored the music of Beethoven, Chopin, Stravinsky, and George Gershwin.

The Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesdays series is held on the first Wednesday of every month from October through May in nine communities statewide, featuring speakers of national and regional renown. Talks in Rutland are held at Rutland Free Library unless otherwise noted. All First Wednesdays talks are free and open to the public. See the full schedule of Rutland First Wednesdays talks.

host, brings it to life in a laugh-filled show featuring clips, quips and great fun, Sunday, Jan. 14 at 4 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre. The show was originally scheduled for Oct. 22, but was postponed.

“Candid Camera’s 8 Decades of Smiles! With Peter Funt,” has pleased audiences nationwide. Funt’s hilarious stage comedy is blended with a behind-the-scenes peek at the show’s funniest moments. Created by Peter’s father, Allen Funt, “Candid Camera” is the only entertainment program to have produced new episodes in each of the last eight decades — from Allen’s start on TV in 1948, through Peter’s acclaimed runs on CBS and on TV Land. Using “Candid Camera’s” vast library, Peter Funt showcases decades of fun and reveals what happened when the cameras weren’t rolling.

Courtesy of Candid Camera His latest show was a “Top PETER FUNT Pick” in People Magazine and

praised by The New York Times.

“This is not just a trip down memory lane,” explained Funt.

“It’s a funny, fast-paced commentary on our whacky world as seen through the ‘Candid Camera.’” In addition to special surprises, several audience members will get a chance to answer “Candid” trivia questions and win prizes.

Joining in the live stage presentation are Funt’s son, Danny, and his niece, Katie, both of whom appeared in the TV Land version of “Candid Camera.”

In addition to hosting over 200 episodes of “Candid Camera,” Funt writes a syndicated newspaper column and has appeared on many top talk shows. He is currently at work on a new version of “Candid Camera” for 2018.

Tickets for the show are available by calling 802-775-0903 or online at paramountvt.org. Additional information is available at candidcamera.com.

Mark Bushnell to talk on his book, “Hidden History of Vermont” Thursday, Jan. 11, 6:30 p.m.—RUTLAND—On Thursday, Jan. 11 at 6:30 p.m., Phoenix Books Rutland will host Mark Bushnell for a talk on his new book, “Hidden History of Vermont.”

Vermont’s history is marked by fierce independence, generosity of spirit and the saga of human life along its steep slopes and fertile valleys.

Meet the widow who outwitted Tories and may have spied for the Green Mountain Boys. Encounter the family who gained a national following by summoning spirits. Discover why one governor opposed women’s suffrage and how that may have involved spirits of another sort. Visit an island retreat where Harpo Marx cheated at croquet and satirist Dorothy Parker wore nothing but a garden hat. Historian Mark Bushnell offers a glimpse of the Green Mountain State rarely seen.

Mark Bushnell worked for a dozen years as an editor for Vermont news-

Local TV to host producers’ group

papers. Realizing that writers have more fun than editors, he began freelancing. Since 2002, he has written regularly about Vermont history, first for the Rutland Herald and BarreMontpelier Times Argus, and more recently a weekly column for VTDigger, a statewide news website. He is the author of “Discover Vermont! The Vermont Life Guide to Exploring Our Rural Landscape” and “It Happened in Vermont.” He has also contributed chapters to “Howard Dean: A Citizen’s Guide to the Man who Would Be President,” and “Lake Champlain: An Illustrated History.” He lives in central Vermont with his wife, Susan Clark, and son, Harrison.

Phoenix Books Rutland is located at 2 Center Street in Rutland. Copies of “Hidden History of Vermont” will be available for attendees to purchase and have signed.

The meet and greet is free and open to the public.

For more information, call 802-8558078 or visit phoenixbooks.biz.

RUTLAND—PEGTV is inviting the community to join its new monthly group called The Producers’ Group. The goal of the group is to inspire, train, and connect longtime and aspiring producers alike in a fun, encouraging atmosphere. It’s an opportunity for locals to share their work, collaborate on projects and learn from each other. No prior video experience is required to join the group, and all Rutland County residents are welcome.

“Whether you’re in the brainstorming stage or putting on the final touches of your video, I hope you’ll join us and share this journey with fellow Rutland producers,” said Daniel Appelt, the technical coordinator at the station. “When you’re creating a video on your own, you’re limited to your own imagination and abilities. When you bring other people into the process, doors start opening up you never knew about.”

The group will meet on the second Thursday of every month, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the PEGTV studio, 1 Scale Avenue in the Howe Center. On Jan. 11, guest speaker Kurt Supancic of Peak View Productions will give a lighting demonstration, with refreshments.

Catch Joel Cage in concert at Brandon Music Saturday, Jan. 13, 7:30 p.m.—BRANDON—Joel Cage is an award winning veteran singer/ songwriter from Boston. Once a member of the internationally acclaimed rock and roll group Southside Johnny

& the Asbury Jukes, Cage has been a performing soloist for the past two decades. Brandon Music welcomes the virtuoso guitarist and impassioned vocalist on Jan. 13 at 7:30 p.m.

Joel Cage’s music is both evocative and raucous. He spans the gamut from

sounding like a full rock band to “hear your own heartbeat” intimacy. He is also a master interpreter of other people’s music, spanning a wide field of musical genres, garnering him the oft used moniker “Acoustic Rock Song Stylist.”

During Cage’s 20-year solo career, he noted that his songwriting has evolved, “From imitating my favorites, to trying to write the ultimate folk song, to timeless rock anthems, to architectural experiments in the science of song structure and stylistic influence, to the discovery of my own voice and point of view; a travelogue of my personal spiritual journey … observations, hypotheses, and conclusions regarding the nature of existence.”

Cage is a consummate performer.

More than one reviewer proclaimed “You must see him live!” He has performed at house concerts, churches, coffeehouses, concert venues, fairs, festivals, nightclubs, restaurants — just about Courtesy of Brandon Music everywhere in the minstrel’s milieu.

Stop by Rutland Meals Challenge to volunteer, and chance at prizes Saturday, Jan. 13—RUTLAND—The Rutland Meals Challenge is seeking volunteers for its annual food packaging event on Saturday, Jan. 13. Volunteers must register in advance to participate. Details are available on the event’s Facebook page: facebook.com/ vtmealschallenge.

The Rutland Meals Challenge is a ministry of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in partnership with the greater Rutland community. Hundreds of volunteers gather each year at the church to assemble bulk ingredients into packaged meals that are are donated to area food shelves and the Vermont Food Bank.

Shifts are one-and-a-half hours long, starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 3:30 p.m. and include a training video.

In addition to the packaging event, the Rutland Meals Challenge will be running its first fundraiser of the year. Raffle tickets can be purchased on Saturday during the event. The public is invited to stop in and buy a ticket, even if they are not volunteering for the food packaging event. Prizes include a Panera Bread “You Pick Two for a Year” gift certificate, an autographed photo of Boston Red Sox’s Blake Swihart, a basket of flavored coffees from Green Mountain Coffee and more. Tickets are $1 each or $5 for 6. One ticket is good for one chance at the prize of your choice. The drawing will be held on Sunday, Jan. 14 and all winners will be notified by phone.

RUTLAND—Michael DeSanto has a New Year’s resolution for Phoenix Books: to make the business a plastic bag-free zone.

Effective Jan. 1, the Vermontowned group of bookstores - with locations in Essex, Burlington, Rutland and Chester - has stopped using single-use plastic bags at the check-out counter, and instead offers customers the options of recycled/recyclable paper bags as well as reusable totes sold at or below cost.

“I cannot turn a blind eye to the catastrophic effect plastic in general and plastic bags in particular have on our environment,” said DeSanto, co-owner of the business.

“Despite the challenges of finding sturdy replacements to protect the purchases of our customers, I am determined to make plastic bags disappear from our stores.

I strongly believe this is the right thing to do. We will be promoting the use of reusable bags from now on, but I also don’t see a sensible way to avoid using paper bags, although I would like to do that some day. We can’t be perfect, I know that, but we can try to do the best we can. By eliminating plastic bags from Phoenix Books, perhaps we can help reduce the demand for the petroleum that makes up 80 percent of a plastic bag.”

“From our point of view, single-

use plastic bags represent a waste of resources,” says Michele Morris, director of outreach and communications at the Chittenden Solid Waste District in Burlington.

“Especially when that bag is used just once, then tossed in the trash instead of being taken to one of the many grocery or other local retail locations that collect many types of bags and other filmy plastic for recycling. Anything sent to Vermont’s last remaining landfill as ‘trash’ will stay buried there virtually forever. We applaud Phoenix Books for encouraging the use of durable, reusable bags whenever possible. Durable beats disposable all day long.”

Join a women-only ski event on the trails at Rikert Nordic Center, for a day of fun and instruction on snow. All levels are encouraged to join the group.

Ladies Nordic Ski Expo set for Jan. 13 at Rikert

Saturday, Jan. 13—RIPTON—Registration for the 2018 Ladies Nordic Ski Expo is open, and this year organizers are making a pretty significant change of location and will be holding the event at the Rikert Nordic Center in Ripton on Saturday, Jan. 13. The event is the perfect opportunity to meet women with a shared interest in experiencing the fun adventure that nordic and backcountry skiing provide. It’s also the perfect place to polish up those classic, skate and backcountry

skiing skills.

The Ladies Nordic Ski Expo is unique in that it offers an opportunity to receive instruction in the traditional skinny-ski track disciplines of both classic and skate skiing as well as backcountry and telemark techniques. Participants are able to pick and choose the type or types of instruction they want to receive during this day long event. Instructors for the event are the best of the best and include some of the world’s top master skiers.

The day will be broken up into a few different pieces. Start the morning off with a slightly longer and more intense instructional session, followed by lunch and a presentation (included with registration) in the Bread Loaf Inn. After lunch, participants will get back out on the skis and continue skills development and possibly put those skills to use on a short tour. Lastly, before saying goodbye, the group will reconvene indoors at the apres ski social to reflect on the day and have a few more laughs.

Schedule 8:30-8:50 a.m. — Registration 9-11:45 a.m. — Morning instructional session 12-1 p.m. — Lunch in the Bread Loaf Inn dining room 1-2 p.m. — Guest speaker presentation: Sandra Dee Owens 2:15-4 p.m. — Afternoon instructional session 4:15-5:30 p.m. — Apres ski social in the Bread Loaf Inn Register at catamounttrail.org.

1 in 100,000 Orthopaedic Event Takes Coordinated Care “After a fall in my home, I left town to attend a wedding in Minnesota. A few days later, I realized it was more than a bruise and I had totally shattered my hip replacement. I trusted my Doctor, Eric Marsh from Vermont Orthopaedic Clinic enough that I decided to come home and be treated.

Everything went very smoothly – from the surgery to recovery with physical and occupational therapy.

We are fortunate to have a facility like Rutland Regional Medical Center right in our community.

It has allowed me to regain my strength and get back to the activities I enjoy.”

Vermont artist opens natural world exhibit at GMC Friday, Jan. 19, 5 p.m.— POULTNEY—The Feick Arts Center is pleased to announce its first exhibit of the new year. “The Wildcrafted World of Nick Neddo: Merging Craft and Art” opens Jan. 16 at Green Mountain College in Poultney. The reception, including refreshments, live music, and a chance to meet the artist will take place on Friday, Jan. 19 from 5- 7 p.m.

Nick Neddo’s nature scenes are beautiful in their own right, but even more evocative when you learn that he forages and crafts his own pens and inks, paintbrushes and paints from the ecosystem around him. Because he has spent days and weeks making his tools and materials

before he begins making his artwork, he has a deeper knowledge and connection to the landscape he portrays.

Nick Neddo’s current body of work at the Feick explores the interconnectedness of life and the relationships its creatures have with one another. As Nick explained, “Rather than anthropomorphize the wildlife that is depicted, the work invites the viewer to empathize with the wildness inherent within themselves.”

Nick Neddo, a sixth generation Vermonter, grew up exploring the fields, forests, and wetlands of his bioregion and became dedicated to the study of the natural world, Stone Age technology (also

known as primitive skills), and creating art.

GUNTHER - 7-year-old neutered male. Rottweiler.

I’m super handsome, if I do say so myself! I’m super sweet and easy to have around. Needless to say, I’m a big dog so I’ll need lots of room for me to romp around and spread out. I’m very playful and I love toys.

POLLY - 2-year-old spayed female. Labrador Retriever mix. I’m an on-the-go gal who loves toys. I do destroy them pretty quickly so I’ll need a supply of tough toys for me to play with.

TONKA - 3-year-old spayed female. Domestic Short Hair.

Brown tabby. Hi, I’m Tonka.

I am a beautiful, brown, 3-year-old tabby. I came to the shelter after living outside for two years. My owner had passed away and lucky for me a couple of neighbors took care of me before bringing me to the shelter.

COSMO - 9-year-old spayed female. Domestic Long Hair.

Torbie. Hi there, my name is Cosmo and as you can see I am one big stunning lady!

I get over stimulated rather quickly, meaning when I have had enough attention I like to be left alone.

MOLLY - 2-year-old spayed female Chihuahua. I’m an adorable lady and I’m happiest when I’m with my favorite people. I love hanging out in my circular bed or, better yet, being carried around wrapped in a blanket. My favorite place is curled up in your lap.

HERMAN - 1-year-old neutered male. Shepherd mix.

I’m a young fella who is onthe-go. I’ll need lots of exercise and play time to keep me happy so an active family will be good for me. I don’t have a lot of manners right now so I’ll need work on being a good canine citizen.

JR - Adult neutered male Rex rabbit. White. Hello, my name is JR. I am a big fluffball who loves to snack on veggies and lounge around in my pen. I am somewhat comfortable being held. I like to romp around from time to time as well.

BUBBLES - 2-year-old spayed female. Domestic Short Hair. Black. I am a lovely young cat. I am just a little shy when getting to know new people but with some tender loving care I relax and come out of my shell. Since I have had outside adventures I would like to be an indoor only kitty from now on.

HOWIE - 5-year-old neutered male. Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull mix. I’m very social and I’m fun to be around. I love hanging out with my favorite people and getting lots of love and attention. I’m a big fella, so I’ll need lots of room to romp around and spread out.

TIKI - 1-year-old spayed female. Shepherd mix. I’m a sweet, adorable young gal who will make you smile. I’m fun to be around and I love getting lots of love and attention. I enjoy going for walks and I have nice leash manners so I’m looking forward to hikes.

HARRY - 9-year-old neutered male. Domestic Short Hair. Black and white. I was brought in by a caring citizen who had noticed me around the neighborhood for quite some time. They were feeding me for several months and felt I should be off the streets and in a safer environment.

SEBASTIAN - 7-year-old neutered male. Domestic Short Hair. Black. Hello, my name is Sebastian. As you can see I am a stunning handsome gentleman cat.

My large green eyes may steal your heart. I arrived at RCHS on December 24, Christmas Eve, when I was brought in as a stray.

BUFFY Hi! My name’s Buffy and I’m a 10-year-old spayed female Pekingese. I came to Lucy Mackenzie with my brother, Angelo, and our friend, Bubba, when our owner could no longer take care of us. I may be 10, but I don’t look it, and I most certainly don’t act it! If you’ve never walked around in the snow, I highly suggest you check it out. My petite size does not deter me from barreling through snow drifts that are taller than me. Even though I’ve lived with Angelo my entire life, I wouldn’t mind spending my golden years as an only dog. It would be best if there were no young children in my new home, as I can become very cautious around sudden movements and loud noises. We’ve been working on basic obedience during my time here at the shelter, and I’ve found it all to be lots of fun and would hope to continue doing so when I leave here. If you think you and I might be a match made in heaven, stop in and meet me today! Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society is located at 4832 Route 44, West Windsor, VT. We’re open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 12 - 4 p.m. Reach us daily at 802-484-LUCY. Visit us at www.lucymac.org, like us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter. We hope to see you soon!

The Uranian impulse

By Cal Garrison, a.k.a. Mother of the Skye

This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Libra Moon. Before we can talk about what’s coming up for this week, we have to back track to last week. As much as life seems like everything is the same as usual, in the last seven days some big cosmic gears have shifted in ways that put a transcendental spin on whatever we assume is going on.

For starters, Uranus went direct on the 2nd of January.

To give you an idea of what this means, Uranus was discovered in 1781, midway between the onset of the American Revolution, in 1776, and the beginning of the French Revolution, in 1789. In astrological circles it is well understood that a planet is not ‘discovered’ until the forces that it rules become an active component in the collective mind. We can begin to understand why Uranus is the ruler of radical, and irrevocable change.

With this in mind it should come as no surprise that Uranus has an orbit that spins at right angles to the orbit of every other planet in the solar system. The hallmark for rebellious, revolutionary, eccentric, enlightened geniusstyle energies, the Uranian impulse is what allows us to go up against the system, step out of the box, and change the world. In its retrograde mode since last summer, the forces that it rules have been under the radar. Now that it has resumed its forward motion, the qualities that make this planet so unique have been released from a suppressed state, into a free form of expression.

We could take all of this for granted, but everything is connected, and like they say in Ecclesiastes, “To everything there is a season.” The fact that Uranus woke up and shocked the system right before the Feast of Epiphany, on Jan. 6, is too serendipitous for words. If our understanding of Epiphany has been pared down to the notion that it is the day that the Three Wise Men arrived to bestow their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh on the Christ Child, its truer meaning runs much deeper than that. From an esoteric perspective, Epiphany is the moment when the Christ Consciousness awakens and is made manifest inside the inner chamber of the human heart. It is the moment that we become conscious of our true nature.

Looking into the aspects that ride on the heels of this epiphany, the one that stands out is a midpoint picture that includes Pluto, Venus, Arachne, Mars, Psyche, Jupiter, and the Moon with the Moon leading the pack at 17 degrees Virgo. The Sabian Symbol for that degree of the zodiac is: “A Volcanic Eruption”. This is a metaphor for a dramatic release of energies that have been long held in check by rigid forces that define ego consciousness. “The inner pressures of the Karmic past” erupt to shake things right down to the core. The imagery reinforces everything we outlined above.

Looking ahead to what might transpire in the aftermath of this explosion? Let’s see how things go between now and January 31st, when there will be a Blue Moon, Lunar Eclipse with the Sun stationed at the 11th degree of Aquarius. The Sabian Symbol for that point reads like this: “During a silent hour, a man receives a new inspiration which may change his life”. Its keynote underscores the symbol with these words: “The need to rely upon inner inspiration and guidance at the start of new developments.”

In other words; when the standard rules no longer apply, all we’ve got to go on is the truth that lies within.

Get ready for some mind blowing changes. Inside all of them there are bound to be experiences that push the envelope – because Uranus doesn’t take “No” for an answer – and when it’s time to wake up, even our most cherished illusions become meaningless. Enjoy this week’s ‘scopes.

f you’ve done your homework, what’s going on right now reflects your ability to stay in touch with the heart and soul of your experience. In that case, everything that you’ve been dreaming about has come true, or is on the verge of manifesting. Stay tuned to your instincts, because what got you this far will take you the rest of the way. If you’ve been backsliding into ego-based behaviors or giving too much credence to false beliefs, and/or the drive to be right about everything, it’ll take everything you’ve got to return to a place where you are centered and clear.

W

ou hover between wanting to keep things the way they are, and wondering if you’ve missed your calling. Try to see this phase as the space that you occupy when you’re between one thing and the next. There’s no doubt that everything you’re doing is on the verge of change, but there’s no sense in projecting too much onto what the future might hold when everything is spinning like a top. From what I can see this period of stability is forming the foundation for things that are as yet unseen. Stay calm, remain in the moment, make the most of it, and wait on the will of heaven.

Y

ou could use a little time out. If the opportunity arises don’t let your purse strings pinch your willingness to take off. You never know what you’ll find on the wings of serendipity; it often leads us into places that change us forever. Lots of good opportunities surround the need to stay put, but they will be here when you get back. As far as you and your loved ones go? They may not be on the same band-width right now. If that is the case, give each other plenty of space. There are definitely some issues to consider, but, more reasons to keep working on the good stuff.

W

ondering where things are at, and hoping for the best, is where things stand right now.

It’s no sign of weakness to be this uncertain; after all, you have always known how to get things to happen. There are times when all of us have to bow to the fact that we are not in charge. Those of you who understand this are in better shape than those of you who insist on remaining in control. The outer stuff, and the place where appearances lie is where you tend to get stuck. If you can let go of your pictures, and drop the reins, everything you are doing will turn out just fine.

ait and see how things pan out. You’ve done everything you can to hold things together. Based on what you feel is important and necessary for your survival, holding things together doesn’t have to mean keeping things as they are. Life has changed. So has your perspective on it. What lies ahead will rise or fall depending on your ability to stay tuned to the current program, and upon your ability to let go when situations demand it. It does no good to force things. Towing the line only gets us so far. When it starts to snap, it’s best to wake up and call a spade a spade.

Y

Y

ou’ve gotten caught up in other people’s stories and other people’s stuff. If it’s working out for you, that’s OK but be wary of what it costs you to accept a codependent role. The need to be who you are has to be included in this set up. Those of you who are already clear that it’s costing you a fortune to fit in with everyone’s expectations but your own, get a grip. You didn’t come here to be a shadow. The longer you wait to face the facts the messier things will be. If it’s not too late, maybe it’s time to slip a little of your self into this equation to see if there’s room for you too.

T

hings are looking up. After putting up with more than your share of tests, the wheels are finally moving in your direction.

It even seems as if the people who have never been there for you before are all of a sudden showing up with bells on. This may have something to do with the fact that you’ve released so much baggage in the last few months. Always a work in progress, keep in mind that resting on your laurels isn’t where it’s at right now. As much as you have every reason to be proud of your achievements, keep your nose to the grindstone and your heart to the wheel.

T

he pace is about to pick up.

Don’t fall asleep to the need to stay on the ball, and whatever you do, don’t slip into overconfidence. The idea that you have it made only fits when you realize that there is always more to be done. What seems to be riding on air, relative to both your work and your relationships, is subject to change. There are bound to be tests in both areas. Seeing people for what they are, and being savvy re: their weaknesses will help you navigate the days ahead. Pay attention to your intuition and be as objective as you can about who’s there for you and who isn’t.

fter a long period of not knowing for sure which way the axe will fall, you are moving into a phase where it becomes important to adjust to the fact that it could all turn out in your favor.

These adjustments are sure to include the idea that sometimes we have to take two steps back before we can move forward.

Other themes suggest that the direct approach to anything will not yield success at this time. Your downfall will be allowing these uncertainties to discourage you.

Your strength will lie in trusting life enough to know that they are, in fact, showing you the way.

T

his is either feeling good – or – you are totally lost and confused. On some days, it goes up and down. Riding out your moods requires the ability to stay in the moment and refrain from making judgments about what’s going on. Normally disposed to have all of your ducks in a row, this state of affairs has you flummoxed. Everything is born out of chaos. Believe it or not there is order to be found in that which makes no sense. Grounding yourself is bound to require more time for yourself and the ability to lose your expectations enough to be OK with anything.

Y

ou are doing the inner work that lays the groundwork for what has yet to manifest. In a few months’ whatever this is about will start to show on the surface.

If anything, your intentions need to be clear. New relationships, and new starts are forming in the ethers. With that in mind it will serve you to avoid people and situations that subtract from your joy and diminish your sense of what’s possible. Getting back on the ball with your sense of purpose, as well as any work that has fallen by the wayside, will require you to get real about who and what needs to stay or go.

Mother of the Skye

Y

ou’ve reached some sort of limit. Either at the peak or at the breaking point, this is a climactic time for sure. Whether you realize it or not, the sum total of all of your efforts is being fed by forces that have been guiding you since the day you were born. To lose yourself to doubt, or be overtaken by any lack of confidence will drag you down. If the pressure gets too great you may find yourself bowing to your fears, and the baser emotions that well up whenever we forget who we are. Trust your guides. To remain strong in your endeavors is more important than anything right now.
