June 4th

The glory and grace of grief

 you  have your layers, your windings, your bridges, your tunnels.
 
  "There are different wells within your heart
   Some fill with each good rain,
    Others are far too deep for that."  Hafiz


    I'm on the  threshold
    but how to cross over, to move beyond,
    to start " a new beginning."

     I have no idea how to do it.

   
     You will understand, and you'll stand on the threshold with me,
      as long as it takes.

      You are my prayer.

       My prayer is you.

"That which takes from us gives to us: Sickness is a healer, loss is a teacher."   Jonathan Ellerby


 "If you want to be given everything

      Give everything up....

 Because the Master has no goals in mind,

 Everything she does succeeds."   Lao Tzu   600 BCE


 "She who sees deeply into
   one thing, sees all.
 She who looks long into all things,
   sees nothing."  Ancient Vedic teaching, 4000 BCE
 

    You still teach me, in your universe,
     I know you saw deeply into love,
     and in that you saw everything.

     Have I given everything up?
      no I haven't.

    It just feels that way, without you here.

   
I pray to look deeply into one thing, love.
 And to not dance all over the place looking at many things.
  seeing nothing.

I pray to find a way to piece my heart back together, still with its brokenness, yet unbroken in its brokenness.


I pray for you raindance, starbright, seascape, moonrise, eternal love.

"Life is very brief and the only true purpose is measured in how much love and grace we allow to flow through our souls during our lifetime."  Carolyn Myss

 "Empty your soul of its history.  Retain love, wisdom, goodness, truth as all these energies carry within them the people you love and the memories that make you who you are. Shed everything that leads nowhere and everything that continually repeats itself but serves nothing at all."  Carolyn Myss, Entering the Castle


  I pray to empty my soul of all the history that does not serve me, that leads nowhere, and hold onto love.

  I pray for you.

May 31st

"The building of a ship doesn't begin with the materials it begins with a longing for the sea."

 Maybe it is the same with communicating with you, I don't need to know how to do it, I just need
 the longing to reach you.

 I pray to let mystery take over and lead me there.


 I pray for you out in a vast universe where I can meet you.

May 28th

"Every moment of your life has value.. You practice approaching every person, place, flower, or crack in the wall as if it were there just for you to appreciate."  Carolyn Myss


 I give my soul a chance to emerge.

 I pray you will be beside me.
May 27th

"Flying by the seat of your pants, taking each day as it comes."

"There is an infinity of universes."  Burt Goldman on quantum physics


You are out in some universe where I am too.
 I'll meet you there.

 
I pray for you. always.

"The quieter we become, the more we hear."  Ram Dass

"Be fearless."
   Carolyn Myss

"Attachments to your worldly good, and to the traumas and pains of your past are, without a doubt, the greatest impediments to a spiritual life."   Carolyn Myss


And so attached am I !
not fearless, not quiet, attached attached attached....

may you show me the way, with your worldly guidance and your soul wisdom.


I pray for peace inside and out.
