			Believe me, I know all about it. I know the stress. I know thefrustration. I know the temptations of time and space.
 Marjana, we worked this out ahead of time. They're part of
 the plan. We knew this stuff might happen. Actually, YOU
 insisted they be triggered whenever you were ready, to begin
 thinking thoughts... you've never before thought.
 
 Good on you,
 The Universe
 
 
 
 
 Marjana, do you remember way back when, on the day you first
 earned your wings, how you worried about whether or not you'd be
 able to use them to lift yourself, and thereby the entire
 planet, higher?
 
 And so I reminded you that the reason you earned them, was
 because you already had?
 
 I thought so, but sometimes it's nice to be reminded again -
 Marjana, you already deserve all that your heart desires.
 
 Tallyho,
 The Universe
 
 
 
 Through you, through you, through you, Marjana... The magic
 works through you. Not beside you. Not around you. Not for you.
 Not instead of you. But through you.
 
 You have to go there. You have to choose your stage. You have to
 do your dance. Putting yourself in place, to any degree that you
 can, even if it scares you, even when it's "hard", even if it's
 just your big toe. Stretch yourself, scoff at the odds, get the
 ball rolling, so that the magic can then come alive, connect the
 dots, and sweep you of your feet with its infinite grace and
 glory.
 
 You wouldn't just carry around the seeds for the garden of your
 dreams in your pocket, all the while asking where your flowers
 are? Nope, you'd have to brave the elements, you'd have to
 choose your location, and then you'd have to go there.
 
 Your LIFE is your wand (or hoe, whatever), wave it,
 The Universe
 
 
 
 Please, Marjana, don't be afraid. Not even a little. Not
 ever. The lions and tigers and bears can't really hurt you. You
 live in a world of fog and mirrors, where there's only the
 illusion that you could somehow become less than the greatest
 you've ever imagined yourself to be.
 
 And it's this very image, the highest from within you, that has
 summoned your boldest dreams. As if by dare, to draw you into
 the light with their sweet rewards, and as if by chance, to draw
 you through the very fears that have kept you from it.
 
 Slayer of dragons. Matador of all time and space. Rightful heir
 to heaven on earth. Don't be afraid. Not even a little.
 
 Amen,
 The Universe
