A message for a friend

the missing

Sorry! Pocket dial!

It's been a crazy Christmas season!

Never a dull moment

and never without a drama.

Strength doesn't come by on its own,

it requires training i suppose.

Have a beautiful day today

where you can really smell the crisp air,

look at the garden and the trees

doing their best everyday come what may,

see the wonderous sky and notice

the potential for peace and joy

the way your father appreciated

the very important things in life

that we often miss...

We can learn so much and appreciate so much

when we are given the time to reflect on the past

and dream into our future.

The answer is yes.

It will be more than okay,
It will be better and you will be stronger, wiser and more loving than you dreamed,
The answer is yes
I hear you
Yes, the answer is yes
Sing a song in your heart,

sometimes you pick,

other times life wants its soundtrack.

What ever the case,

sing your troubles away,

sing your joys out loud
A song is a prayer
And a prayer is a conscious action to begin moving to a better place
In connection with the kosmos
Everything is with us all the time,

we cannot separate ourselves from any of it;

not what we see or don't even know about,

We  just move through it in different ways together. Even when we feel alone we are still all moving in it together,

always.

sometimes its as simple as  remembering to reach out with a prayer

and breathe in the answer

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The loss of a parent. The history,  the connection, identity, validation  is never a small thing to lose. 

God bless.

Wow. I found this very

Wow. I found this very profound and expressive. Kind of felt like it could be a song.

The casual splendor, the unflinching truth, the shimmering wit, the realness of your expression has almost moved me to tears.

 

Every line says: "I know!"

 

Every word says: "hope"

 

A perfect pocket dial with a profound message that makes us all your friend.
