It was a little too much for me, even though I am around this a lot, I got sick and I just want to sit and cry...and then I see things like the YouTube of Ben Breedlove, who died on Christmas at the age of 18 ([nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeD8v8l56xg"]Teen's Videos Go Viral After Death - YouTube[/nomedia]) (sorry I haven't figured out how to embed those things yet)...

Anyway, I still have my nasty cold, but at least I can feel a bit better after watching Ben...

God, Please take care of Mr. J. and Ben and their families...
Blessed Be, Amen, an Ashe

On the cusp,
 

From Oriah Mountain Dreamer on her blog, "The Green Bough,"

"This week, inbetween Christmas and New Year’s, the crack between the worlds always feels more easily accessible to me. After the holiday rush, but before the normal routine of daily life is re-established, a pause can arise if we allow it. It’s a time to open to the void of not-knowing, of suspending our conscious and unconscious stories about who we are and what we can do, to make space for something else- something we do not yet know about ourselves- to emerge.

I have a breathing exercise that I often do at the start of my meditation practise that gently opens me to the physical experience of the crack between the worlds. It’s very simple.

Right now, wherever you are, take a slow deliberate inhale through your nose. Allow your belly to inflate with your breath, and then allow the wave of breath to leave your body completely. Feel your belly sink and your shoulders drop as all the air is expelled. Let the chair you are sitting on and the earth far beneath you support you completely as the weight of your body drops down into the chair at the end of the exhale.

And then, at the end of the exhale. . . . pause for a moment. Do not immediately and automatically begin the next inhale. Wait for the impulse to take the next breath to come from deep within your body. Do not hold your breath or resist the impulse, but do not reach for it. Let it come. See what it is like just to lightly pause at the end of the exhale, relaxed and waiting for the next breath to find you. And then, ride the wave as it enters and leaves your body.

Explore the moment inbetween, the place where you are neither inhaling nor exhaling, the spacious stillness at the end of the exhale . . . . This is what the crack between the worlds is like. . . . a momentary pause in our daily routine and mental chatter that allows something else to enter . . . that invites new visioning and deeper listening.

Don’t work at it. Just explore it, play with it, with a little curiosity. What are we when we are neither inhaling nor exhaling but are here, fully conscious in this moment. Who are we if we do not automatically carry forward how we have been into the next moment, or the new year?

What are the possibilities that arise? What longing is awakened? What risks ask to be taken? What dreams call out to us to be birthed?"



Don't work at it, just be, it...inbetween...

...and come into the ever becoming self.

Tonight I light a candle for all those who have no home who can't find shelter due to overflow. I pray they find a warm place to sleep, to lay their heads and rest. I feel so guilty because I have gotten to know some wonderful people who happen NOT to have a physical dwelling. Its awful that I can come home and be warm and cozy.

I light a candle for those struggling with addictions, alcoholism, oppression and/or depression and mental illness. I pray for an accelerated and major healing in you in Jesus name.
I light a candle for those who are ill or battling illness and disease. I pray for a rapid and miraculous healing in Jesus name as well.

I light another candle for those who are lonely. Who feel empty or unlovable. I send you a hug from Gods angels. That you will never feel loneliness any more. Your own personal heavenly angels will accompany you from now on all the rest of your days.

I light a candle for all the brothers and sisters here struglling with family members. That you would be given the opportunity to speak from your heart eloquently, powerfully and significantly and be understood, accepted, appreciated and loved. That your entire family be healed of any and all of the above as well.

I light one last candle. This one is for you (general you). Because you deserve someone thinking of you once in awhile and encouraging you because of no other reason than that you exist.

Be blessed all...

Lighting candles for healing tonight, for many people dealing with different issues...

...for those facing difficult situations...
...for those who are worrying...
...for those in pain...
...for the people who get the help they need in the moment, yet still need to
pull through...
...for those who don't know what is going to happen...
...for the people who help pick up the pieces, who hold the hands, who help
carry the burden...
May we all have someone whom who we can be with who understands...
May we all feel the love and comfort in that understanding - human or
divine...
Blessed Be

This bears repeating

Please* Healing energy, peace and calm in the eye of the storm.
 

Please ..keep the candles burning, and add to the flames for Peggie. Realizing we are not immortal and when we get old the candles need to be brighter. :candle:
I have gotten some great suggestions on how to handle a very difficult situation with ideas that never crossed my mind. In the middle of a storm sometimes you lose your way. :pirate-steer: I just found out the house I signed off on in 1997, is still in " our" names, and thought that was a bad thing..until someone splained it to me that if the situations gets to the point where Peggie can't make decisions and I am the Power of Attorney, that would be easier for me to deal with.

An offer to take my Ex-wife of many years in surprised me and brought me to tears today. . Move her from California to Ohio. We seperated in 1997, but have ties that bind when the pedal hits the metal. ( I quitclaimed the houe to her for $1.oo, but she never filed the papers or cashed the check). I had no idea, and had walked far away. I moved out and left it for her and Leia.

Leia, the Grandaughter we raised wants to take care of Peggie. She told me we were great parents and she would never want her Bamma to go anywhere else if she can't live alone anymore. Diagnosed with COPD and emphasema recently, and week as a kitten, on oxygen 24/7, down to skin and bones and living alone the world we lived in is disappearing for her. She called me in Sept , I rushed to the house, rushed her to the hospital where she was in ICU for several days and almost died. There is no family nearby, no friends in the neighborhood. We all live far from each other.

I was brought to tears, ~ happy tears by this adult child of ours. With two little kids of her own, her Hubby a Tech. Sgt in the Air Force, just back from his 3rd tour in Afgnanastan, just moved -re=stationed from So. Dakota to Wright Patterson, in Ohio, just reconciled they had talked it over before I ever called her.

I called to tell Leia she needed to come home and get anything out of the house she wanted beause Peggie may have to move to Oregon, with Fred (Peg's eldest son) or to assisted living of some kind for a while. She said "NO, she can't go there. Uncle Fred doesn't want her or he would have come down to get her already. Paul and I are looking into getting her here on base. """"" WOW. :loveletter: "We know somebody who brought their Gramma here. (HOW SWEET that kid is when I least expect it)

I never IMAGINED Peggie going there, and still can't but ..who knows! . Leia said, " I have always wanted MY Gramma to come live with us. She saved my life, you guys kept me safe, you kept my druggie Mom away from me. Paul and the kids love her and we need her too. Tell her for me. I'll take really good care of her. I promise RayRay""""

I smiled big ....sniff

Love goes round,
Tommi Ray
