Thank God that life allows for hope and healing, that the mechanics of our existence actually direct, streamline, corral, point us towards...healing and hope. Thank God.
Without faith in our ability to heal, how would we survive the moments in life that are heartbreaking, cruel, unfair, or even insidious? The moments that stop us cold and breathless, and leave us completely hollow and alone? We all experience those moments...anguish that can last a moment or a few days, or can stretch into months, years, and even a lifetime.
Thank God there is hope. Thank God there is healing. Thank God there is peace. Thank God there is light and love. Thank God.
If I am to be a feeling person, a compassionate person, a person connected to All...I must have hope and healing and peace and light and love. Without hope, I would implode otherwise. I could not survive my own pain, or the world’s collective pain, if love was not truth, if love was not the reality.
Yesterday, a friend’s husband died from a brain tumor, leaving her and their four children behind. He was several years younger than us, and vibrant, and full of much more life to live.
Yesterday, another friend shared the painful and difficult situation she is in.
Last night, I fell asleep with tears I could not stop. This morning, when I awoke, this prayer accompanied and befriended my tears:
From the Universe
I gather the energy of love into my hands
Molding it into a snowball of pure white love
Collecting more, expanding it
Packing it tighter and denser
Intensifying the concentration of love
Healing snowflakes fall from the Heavens
Blizzarding, or gently falling, as needed
Snowflakes of courage and strength
Snowflakes of comfort and calm and serenity
Snowflakes that open and expand the ability to feel
a soul’s continued presence with his loved ones
Snowflakes that bring peaceful knowing
that beauty is possible (and natural)
even from the ugliness of unfairness, hardship, loss
To my friends
To the families who lost their homes
in the fire burning in the foothills
just west of our community
To the families who lost their homes
in the fire burning in the foothills
just west of our community
To my sisters and brothers in Japan
To Mother Earth
May the snowball of unconditional love
burst open and shower upon you
the graces and blessings of healing
May love support and carry you
through this storm
Lighten the burden and heaviness
Illuminate the darkness
Remind you of truth
Transform you
Amen, And So It Is, Blessed Be
