What Goes Around Comes Around

A friend reminded me today

she too is here for me

Like the wind beneath my wings

she’s flying with me and holding me secure

My friend offered me the opportunity

to say to her,“Thank you for that, 

it was just what I needed!”

Something others have often said to me

Today I felt loved, 

I felt listened to and heard

My friend’s response opened up 

my inquisitive mind and my loving heart

As in a breath of peace 

In a breath of renewal 

In the feel of a gentle loving touch  

My friend, in her unique way,

loved me today and I felt it touch me 

and it changed my state of mind

She offered me the same type of love

she probably would have offered herself

In one concise and powerful message

she got me to stop, reconsider my thoughts

and my feelings and move forward

“Love yourself, forgive yourself and others,
be neutral to emotions and circumstance, 
know Spirit cares and will always care for you 

Allow yourself to be carried and cradled

and loved in the same manner you have 

so many times carried and cradled others” 

How very sweet, how very refreshing

my friend’s reminder of what I already knew 
Spirit, God, this Amazing Universe 

is forever on my side, in front, in back, inside 
and all around me just waiting to help me 

move gently and compassionately forward

Thank You, for your love today

Thank you for being my friend

Beyond Best Friends

Beyond best friends

closer than family

your friendship means the world to me

your trust in me

your honesty

your insistence, persistence and loving reassurance

towards my welfare and my aspirations never cease to amaze me

Watching you grow

beyond your own expectations 

no longer surprises me 

as much as it might, at times, 

be surprising to you

For me, you are the promise and the realization

of a beautiful flower blooming in the garden of your life 

Your abandonment of fear and rejection

your appreciation for newness and discovery

your willingness to give and to receive

warms my heart and inspires me

When I think of the future

I laugh, I smile, I’m happy

I see us walking around the lake together

Celebrating graduations

Talking of co-creations

Gathering and enjoying our families and friends

I see us caring and helping one another

in any way we can

Growing deeper, closer and older

in this microcosm of cosmic wisdom

of everyday life and extraordinary possibilities

Tuesday’s Prayer

Of what I knew there’s so much I did not tell you

not because I didn’t want to tell you

but simply because I did not think of telling you

I did not think of it as important or valid at the time

And I wonder if you too now also wish we both had said more to one another

More of what we knew, our everyday life discoveries, our concerns about our future

Perhaps, like me, you also did not know how much or how deeply to share 

Life flew by quickly and now years since your death

I still find I have so much I want to share with you

So much I wish you could share with me

How well I remember the many times we shared love

times we offered or received joy and appreciation  

times we engaged in life’s joys and celebrations

times we faced sickness, grief and pain together

times we laughed and cried sharing dreams and realities

Tonight in silent communication and in prayer

I‘m asking God to help me get through to you

to help us build a SOUL / HEART bridge 

whereby we could reconnect and communicate  

Tonight I am asking God to grant us a little bit of heaven 

asking HIM to bring us into close proximity 

lovingly gliding us through invisible physical boundaries  

and allowing us to visit and chat for a while

Remembering you tonight, I feel a peacefulness 

a belief that God has already granted me my prayer

and that HIS love is guiding us closer in Spirit time

“SPIRIT” to feel, experience and “see” one another 

“SPIRIT” to honor and to smile with the other

“SPIRIT“ for imaging messages and reconnecting 

“SPIRIT” for loving and giving thanks 

And I must say,

I’m experiencing a smile coming from deep within my heart 

I’m sensing you close to me, feeling your loving energy 

Eyes open or shut, I’m “seeing” our eyes meet 

I’m filled with awe and gratitude for God’s gift to us tonight

while realizing there’s no need for words in our sharing

All is perfect feeling and honoring the loving in our togetherness 

REST IN PEACE, my dear sweet friend

Until we meet again!

Tea with angels

At the moment I started to cry I heard the door bell chime

One angel moved towards me offering me his shoulder and his hankie 

while another walked into my home and proceeded to hug me saying,

“hello, it’s ok, I love you”

Slowly, I regained hope and found myself in my kitchen

having tea with my two highly compassionate angels

This was definitely the universe’s way of reminding me  

I am not alone, there’s strength for me in others who love me 

when I felt weakest, most vulnerable and alone 

a few kind words and some hugs brought me back home 

to my heart and to my senses 

My spirit became lifted and I was able to release and let go 

of that overwhelming pain, fear and confusion holding me captive 

I was able to release, receive and allow in the love of others for me

and slowly I began engaging and responding in present reality 

Hugs, hot tea and comforting words

loving touches helping me to dry my tears  

friendly smiles reflecting back at me

“you’re valuable to us, we love you”

How very nice being rocked, feeling loved  

cradled in caring arms and pampered  

moving gently from darkness into sunlight  

thank you, my angels, for your kind love and loving
because of you I am comforted and I am healed

Talking and Listening

Some people think they are very wise 

Sensitive to themselves and others

Honest in their communication

They tell you everything currently happening in their lives

They talk on the phone with you for hours 

Write you lengthy e-mails and share their deepest emotions 

they voice their life disappointments, lost relationships 

heir fantasies, hidden desires and wishes 

PLEASE, try not to INTERRUPT them 

Or get them to STOP TALKING just so

they can LISTEN TO YOU 

What makes you think, 

“It’s your turn or It must be your turn to talk?”

Isn’t listening what real good friends do?

REMEMBER who called first

Who sent the initial e-mail

Feel reassured, they wanted to talk with you 

You’ll be all right, just hold on tight

your past, your present, your future

won’t suffer or be denied

Wait until they are through talking

allow their one more issue and emotion   

Breathe and listen as good friends do  

Realize, after all, they are the ones 

who first wrote or called YOU 

Appreciate the fact that next time

it might be you who’s writing or calling them  ...
