Dear Friends and Community,
What a difference a week makes. In so many ways there I feel the potency of what it means to be “in good hands”. These three words came to me early in the week. I read something somewhere that hinted at the thought of being in good hands. I move into words and sayings as if I have been given an assignment to move into their depth to know where the words end and where potency begins. We hear this saying, use it, and have felt, that we are or not “in good hands”. This has been a week, not just for me, but for people in our country, and throughout the world, to perhaps consider as citizens, the hands we are in.
But my week began more personally. Our Bean, the image above, turned a corner towards his mortality on Monday. He had been diagnosed over a year ago with kidney disease, and what seemed like in a minute, he began to leave. Yesterday, we made the decision to let him go while still in possession of his dignity. He was 20, and we had him for 18 years. A beautiful boy who emanated love. He was a late night and early morning buddy, sitting on the table, mostly in my way, while I wrote the weekly email. One time, he deleted the whole thing. He always wanted me to go to bed. His favorite spot was on my chest.
You know how hard it is to say goodbye to your fur family. Every one must feel they are in good hands for all the best outcomes to transpire. I will continue down page after the weeks schedule and upcoming events and announcements.

In Good Hands…
Were my hands ready for this moment. Were the hands I have rested in for most of my life, my trust in my judgement and decision making, my perception to feel into the moment, to do the right thing at the right time, with the love that only true loves are worthy of, were those hands ready for Bean. Was he in good hands with me?
I prayed and asked the right questions and knew I had to discern the answers that would arrive. Bean and I had three long night, into the early mornings together, gazing into each others eyes and talking about all our time together and how much we loved each other. His gaze was fixed, as you can see. I felt we were both so sad having these discussions. No one wants to leave the beings they love. We settled on he would let me know. We were both in each others hands, trusting. And he did. No waiting this out. What hands next to trust?
The “hands”, are our deep knowing, our intuitive intelligence to feel and perceive next moves. I first thought that I wanted him to be at home. So I scheduled an in home service. And then I thought about his visits to our vet and how he quite enjoyed them. They loved him too and they knew him. They were part of his home. We had met the next sets of good hands. I felt we each ,and especially Bean, had been attended to by Angels. He passed so peacefully and very quickly. He relaxed into my arms and I felt his comfort and his deep thank you. I pray we were right on time for him. We had a room to ourselves for as long as we needed. We did a beautiful ceremony. I cleaned him up a bit and covered him in sweet oils and sacred herbs and flowers. We gave him many sweet last kisses. And he was wrapped like a prayer bundle.
We feel his loss so deeply but mostly we are thankful for the sacred understanding of being in good hands. And again, how powerful an understanding it is to have for ourselves to discern whether we are the “good hands” that those we love look for, that we can discern if we are in good hands with those who serve us in our communities, and in our country. And especially now to ask if we are in good hands, now that our government has made war the priority and destruction its aim, might is right its motto, and the death of anyone, incidental.
Are we realizing, we have to be able with the most intelligent part of ourselves, our good hands, our intuition, our gut, our hearts intelligence, be able to feel how very fragile everything has just become, when it had already been so? When there are no longer any checks on the iniquitous betrayal by a government towards its own citizens, and even other countries,when there are no good men or woman to stop them when they have the power to do so, you not only have to realize the bad hands we are in, you have to discern, that they actually wish for good people to be harmed. It is not a stretch to go there. It is your gut letting you know that the only good hands to be in may be your own,along with the community of fellow citizens realizing how important we are to each other.
We all have our personal life to live and make decisions in. It might be real easy right now to turn away from the horror of the news. Trust your “good hands” to know enough to be aware and alert. Know that we are in “good hands” when all life is considered as sacred, when every action taken has a seed of a new creation in it, rather than destruction alone.
I know that this time,and all that is happening, carries within it the seed of our realization of the divine goodness we all possess as a possibility to create a world of extraordinary beauty and intelligence. We all can live in the “good hands” of one another, when we admit how unsafe we are in the hands we are in right now.
“Good hands”,was something to the Greeks of long ago. They spoke of it as a knowing in our palms. It was a way of seeing more than what our eyes could see, or our hands could feel. They were oracles, the divine feminine, and conscious energy. Those who realized had ability for holding within them what most of us let slip through.There is certainly more to our hands and palms that meet the eye. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”. May we all feel the value of the good hands we have, and what flows through them, and what they are able to receive.
Welcoming more daylight.
Give your pets some extra love.
Without Bean, this felt like the most difficult email to post.
Peace and blessings,
Denise Yocco
