The words of my friend Ashtara in Glastonbury perfectly echo what is on my mind as we close on the Old and usher into the New. A New that calls for a Lighter, Brighter We! br See you at the very end of the year, fellow walkers of the Path. br ‘As you step solidly into this new phase of life, I ask you to leap over the threshold of the Gate before you. Leaving behind much of the old, whether this be a negative thought form, hasty action, or disillusioned mood...You are ready to move towards new friends, different places, people and positive right actions. You will soon feel lighter, freer, happier in your heart and mind, and this will filter down through all the layers of your 'beingness', to your newly re-structured DNA.’ br Ashtara
