What this woman needs to learn

Can we cover the earth in leather so it's soft wherever we go?
No.
So, what can we do?
Cover our feet in leather.

Yes, covering our feet in leather is equal to covering the earth with leather.
Likewise, enemies are as limitless as space.
All enemies cannot possibly be overcome,
Yet if one can just overcome hatred this will be equal to overcoming all enemies.

I (Water Woman) am normally not a hater. I am not comfortable even saying I hate... anyone or anything. But, I have to say, I am really fighting these days to overcome my tendency to "strongly dislike" certain individuals.

The quote above was taken from a movie called "The Cup" and was spoken by the Abbott.

Reluctant shifter

She was a fox. She lived in her world but was rarely seen. She was careful and deliberate in her movements and avoided other creatures. This isolation became habit and the woman forgot how to shift back to being a woman. She forgot she ever was a woman most of the time. She loved the smells in her world most of all. It was like color to the woman she had been. If the wind could blow a rainbow around and color floated on the air in wiffs or gusts or in irredescent clouds, that would come close to describing the scents and odors she experienced.

She felt drawn or was it pulled back to the woman. Others depended on her, needed her. Goddess called and the fox knew there was mission to complete. Reluctantly she became visible, everything smelled grey and she stood up to greet the morning.
