Dear ones we are indeed ready to go if you will allow us space and time for this project of our own. For it is time, we believe, to go forward with this plan on Earth for happiness and dissemination of peaceful thoughts, healing actions, wonderful dreams. And we say this because the patterns of the fabric, the cloth of life, needs to be enlivened at this point. There is a depth in darkness, there is pleasure in darkness, there is anticipation, excitement, fascination in the darker colors and textures. But this we say to you: there is also a time for lightness and brightness and clarity and peace and honor, and so shall it come and so shall it be.
