Find Someone

"Find someone to sit with you. To see this world, this life", he said to me.  "Find someone to sit with you and help you see the beauty again.  Because sometimes our eyes become clouded with the tears, the pain and the heartache.  Find someone to sit with you and wipe away those tears. To help heal the pain and ease your heartache.  It won't be easy, but if you try you might be surprised."

Life is about relationships.  The pings of one soul off another in the great pond of life.  Ripples flowing back and forth. All in one, each affecting the other in some form.  The ripples you give out will return to you.  They will return gently or violently.  Sometimes you have to move to another part of the pond if the ripples which affect you are not in tune with who you are.  This is perfectly normal and fine.  But, it is your responsibility to determine this and then to make the move.  Your life is yours.  Own it.  Make the relationships count.  Not just surface fluff, but the deep dirty and gritty reality of who you are. Be real. Be true. 

 Find Someone

Dancing flame, flickering light
I focus my will on you tonight
In this place of space and change
Learning this lesson my soul claims
Around the mountain too many times
With new understanding I begin to shine
The spirit within dances about
Just like a child I giggle and shout
All new faces, sister, brother, friend
I pray this new path never to end
Trusting in their love for me
Light shines breaking chains of fear
As love unconditional draws others near

A Priest's Tale of Love

Told she could not love him They told her to stay away Behind closed doors he wept Pining in the dark for her His heart breaking slowly Tears flowed to see her face Hear her voice echo again In his dark and empty space Tortured in body and heart They told him she went away Unable to love who he is now Lies they spoke he knew somehow In the country chapel, just down the lane A young woman on her knees before God Before the alter, head bowed, she prayed Grant him peace and surround him with love I cannot hold him, comfort or ease his pain Send your angels for me, whisper in his ear Let him know his true love and friend is near Faithful to her prayers and passionate pleas Each morning the priest would open the doors At the alter to her knees, she fell to the floor Patiently she waited in the chapel, listening Watching the busy lane from the window Till the sun behind the trees fell to shadow Moved by her faith, her love and honesty

Dear reader, I have for the last few months found myself struggling to put upon the page the revelations I have come into.  So many changes in my life rendered me unable to reign in my scattered thoughts enough to put them in a cohesive form.  I find myself tonight finally finding the internal dialogue flowing and felt I should take advantage of this state as much as possible before it evades me once again.  I ask for your patience as I do my utmost to put before you, my thoughts.  Because, as many rabbit trails as my mind may possess, what follows may seem to you without conclusion or may seem disjointed and without a connection. A new revelation of what it means to be 'unconditional' came to me one afternoon after I read an article concerning judgment.  This article created a new understanding in me concerning the state of being 'unconditional.'  It is this - to be unconditional one must be able to accept all in their present moment as they are without expectation

It's Been A While

I know it has been a long while since my last posting.  I have been lost and am slowly finding my way out of the darkness.  Losing my mother has been the hardest thing I have ever walked through.  The main reason is that my mom was my grounding and shield.  I did not realize how much I depended on her presence in my life, whether I was with her or not.  The very knowledge that she existed brought such peace to my soul. I knew I could pick up the phone and hear her voice anytime I wished. I could see her whenever I wanted.  She was here. When she became sick, and I moved to take care of her, it was helplessness I could never have imagined. To watch someone I love die slowly and know there was nothing I could do to stop it was debilitating. I could only make her life as comfortable as possible. Dementia is cruel and horrifically unkind. After we had to say goodbye, I was utterly lost. I couldn't save my mom. She was gone. The regrets, waisted time, 'should-haves' and 'cou
