DEEP BREATH, HEAVY SIGH


Thank you, Unseen Spirit, Creator of all things for taking me and returning me in one whole piece. You were not obligated to do so. Thank you for the spirits I've had the good fortune to meet along the way. Thank you for all the knowledge you've poured into me this weekend. Help me, Father, to turn it into wisdom. Thank you for erasing the fears when they arose, the disappointment when it reared it's ugly head; thank you, most of all, for crushing the doubt, stamping it beneath your holy feet. Thank you for bringing me to my knees, once again, to commune with you.

Thank you, Unseen Spirit, Co-Creator of all things, for holding me at your breast and keeping me warm; thank you Mother Earth, for spreading your beauty across this whole creation for ALL to see, enjoy, experience. Thank you for all the beauty my eyes have captured: emerald, azure, tangerine, violet ..... both on land and in the air. Thank you for nourishing my body and mind with good food. Help me to be as good a mother to my own as you are and have always been to me.

Thank you, my Unseen Parents, for the money, the time, and a very supportive and loving husband who helped make it all possible.

It's good to be back home.

Now That's Worth Writing Down

When we let Spirit lead us, it is impossible to know where we are being lead. All we know, all we can believe, all we can hope is that we are going home. That wherever Spirit takes us is where we live.....Alice Walker, Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth.
