All Awakening Plus occasions and AstroShaman shopper appointments are again on schedule. Yay! And I’ll get the October 1-15 astrology forecast out as quickly as I can.
Spiritsong and I drove 4 hours to Manning, South Carolina Sunday night time, and at the moment are settling in at a Hampton Inn for a keep of … who is aware of how lengthy?
We’re grateful to as soon as once more have working water, electrical energy, wi-fi, cell service, and meals availability we will depend upon. Could we by no means once more take these as a right!
I’m vast open for shopper work, so don’t hesitate to schedule an Astrology+, Shamanic Therapeutic, or different service with me by way of Zoom or telephone. My “house workplace away from house” is absolutely arrange, and I’m 100% able to serve you.
In reality, with the surprising further bills we’re incurring on the street, I’m extra grateful than ever for shopper classes within the coming days. (Don’t overlook about my “As soon as in a Lifetime” Astrology particular, which saves you $50/hour!)
After we left on Sunday, our city (Weaverville, NC) had no electrical energy and intermittently working water. Cell service had simply been restored, however there was just one open grocery retailer (working on an enormous generator), with enormous strains to get in and take a look at. Nearly all different enterprise are closed, for the reason that city (and far of a multi-state space) has no electrical energy.
The Asheville area solely has one open freeway out of city, going south. The highways working west, east, and north are closed with extreme harm, and haven’t any projected time frames for reopening.
Hurricane Helene’s results are being described as “biblical” and “catastrophic,” and being in comparison with the devastation attributable to Hurricane Katrina. Spiritsong and I noticed dozens of giant bushes toppled onto energy strains, and needed to drive over severed energy strains splayed throughout the roads like black spaghetti. We additionally noticed automobiles, properties, and companies swept away by raging floodwaters.
Right here’s considered one of my experiences. I solely had a half tank of fuel when the storm hit. It didn’t appear to be this could be sufficient gasoline to drive out of the catastrophe zone, the place fuel wasn’t out there as a consequence of widespread energy outages.
Happily, I knew of two fuel stations nonetheless working close to downtown Asheville. We had pushed by them Saturday afternoon, and each had crazy-long strains of automobiles ready to get fuel. This didn’t look promising, so we drove house.
However my inside steerage woke me up early Sunday morning, with the compelling thought that I ought to drive again downtown and get in line for fuel. I acquired to one of many fuel stations at 3 am, the place a number of different drivers have been already queued in line on the pumps. I used to be first in line at my pump, and was grateful to prime off my tank after they opened at 6 am.
One other little bit of divine grace was a sudden thought that popped in, simply as I used to be leaving the home, that I ought to take money with me. Because it turned out, they have been solely taking money. And the quantity I had readily available was precisely sufficient to fill my tank!
It was lucky that I acquired to the fuel station so early. Driving away, I handed a line of automobiles over a mile lengthy ready to replenish on the station I had simply left.
We’re so grateful for the inside steerage and divine grace that has guided us by means of these challenges, and continues to take action. And we thank all of you who’ve despatched us messages of concern and help. Please forgive us if we don’t have time to ship you a private reply. As soon as once more, our prayers exit to all these being challenged by this catastrophic occasion.
The Asheville area was extensively thought of “local weather secure,” one of many locations least more likely to be hit by an environmental catastrophe. If we aren’t secure, who’s?
Could all of us do what we will to attenuate and reverse the existential risk of local weather change, in order that extra folks and different residing beings might survive and thrive!
Infinite blessings,
Benjamin
