Gratefulness
As others said for the Jan 18th question, I give away silent prayers. It feels hopeful. Well, I suppose there is a string attached to my heart at the time of offering. But then there is a release and the prayer flies free, like thistledown in the wind.
You have courage and wisdom that brought you through, Ciara. Blessings!
It really is wonderful to read of your active weekend, Aine, as I do understand it is a big deal for you. Sending a celebratory hug. Oh my, three kinds of soup! Soup so healing to the body and soul. Such a loving thing to do for your friend. Glad you are now enjoying some rest in the sun with your furry and feathery companions. I used to keep chickens and miss their contented/curious/comical natures.
Thank you, dear Aine. Waiting, hoping for such mystery to come about.
Dear Cintia, I am so very glad you and your husband came through that scary situation okay. Thank you for another lovely flower, looks like so many candles.
Very nice, Nancy. Rocks and stones have always spoken to me too.
Good morning Diane, how lovely to read your update. Thank you. It’s been warmer but cloudy here, too, with rain coming later today, and I have been thinking often of the prayer you shared and silently saying “let me see the glory in the gray.” Blessings to you.
Dear Palm, Anna and Ose, thank you for starting this discussion. Depression is a hard thing to talk about, leads to isolation, so I feel I must say something here, though I don’t know what. It is something I have been struggling with most recently for a year now. It really helps to know I am not alone in it here in this sacred space. I think Brother David understands. I remember a short video in which he speaks of it with beautiful compassion, saying one must wait it out and not to...
Dear Palm, Anna and Ose, thank you for starting this discussion. Depression is a hard thing to talk about, leads to isolation, so I feel I must say something here, though I don’t know what. It is something I have been struggling with most recently for a year now. It really helps to know I am not alone in it here in this sacred space. I think Brother David understands. I remember a short video in which he speaks of it with beautiful compassion, saying one must wait it out and not to force anything, even gratefulness.. That was a balm to my heart. I think he means you must not push the feelings away.
Dear Palm and Anna, I understand as I struggle with it too.
I love your answer. Go for it, Val!
Good evening, Cintia! I love the word “evening” as it makes me imagine it as the time of “smoothing out” or “evening out” the day, rebalancing. And what better way to do so than to dance? Thank you for sharing your lovely gratitudes. And hello to your dog Scot.
Ohhh, I love bats!
Dear Kathleen, thank you, I am so grateful you were there to help this very vulnerable family.
Dear Ose, thank you for your lovely smile and for your kind affirmation.
Hello Aria, welcome, and thank you for this peaceful scene. All is right with the world, the stars seem to be singing as they twinkle and twirl. The sweet little animal in your profile photo also seems to have starshine in its eyes.
This is wonderful to read of, Rhonda, thank you for sharing it.
Hello Chris. Welcome to this site so full of light! We are kindred souls. Trust is my North Star. Trust is what my heart knows to aim for, to navigate by, what will bring me safely home, which is here and now. And yet…. I also struggle to trust people. For me, it is journey with steps forward, steps back. But I believe this site is a good place to practice. And I hope it is somewhat like a spiral labyrinth, where starting in the center, my steps lead me back outward. Thank yo...

Dear Ose, I embrace you with all my heart! And so lift you up to Light in prayers of thanksgiving for this moment you share of your radical healing and for integration, your continued opening. Love, Grateful C.
So beautiful, Cintia, thank you. I am not so good with houseplants, but there are tiny wild orchids in the woods here, an early spring surprise.
Songs and poems everywhere…
