This morning I lit a candle of Joy from Crystal Journey as a reminder that no matter how dark the darkness, how acute the fear, how deep the despair, how sharp the pain or how deep the sorrow there is still hope and joy. Perhaps not immediately but it awaits us all.

"Let me discover pure joy in my being. Allow happiness and laughter to flow freely through my life into the lives of those around me."

:vigil: Let clouded skies give way to rays of sun
:vigil: Let ignorance give way to tolerance
:vigil: Let sleepless nights give way to dreams come true
:vigil: Let hatred give way to love
:vigil: Let silent tears give way to joys and hope
:vigil: Let violence give way to compassion
:vigil: Let all who need and all who seek find comfort and guidance

I'll light a candle too
 

I pray these candles bring a light of comfort to you all.

I light these candles, for those of us who need the light to help us make better choices, for those of us that need the fear taken away, for those of us that need to dig for the inner strength to fight that fear, for those of us that need a sign, for those of us that need light to know which path to choose, for those of us that need to be able to say good bye and have it not hurt so much, for those of us who's Holidays will not be like every else's, for those of us missing loved ones (whether they are still alive or not), feel the warmth that is left here.... know that there are others and you are not alone... know that everything is temporary and the storms within and outside will subside. Finally, know that there are others that care. Reach out and do not let go.

For those whose lives are forever challenged.

For strength for my friend Milana, going into her 4th week of chemotherapy for Stage 4 esophageal cancer. She has lost almost all of her hair and over 30 pounds, and has been in the hospital every day since July 15th.

For Oscar and Elizabeth her cats, and Suzanne the lady from the cat club who cares for them every day.

For her sister Rozella who flies down from northern California to spend a week or two at a time.

For those that get those Holiday Blues. Hold On. 2011 is just around the corner.

For those that send/sent her Christmas and get well cards. Thank you so much, and may the love came back to you. (f)(f)

Lighting a candle for ME this morning. I'm working outside today it is 15 degrees and a breeze is blowing.

Not on site much. I come by to respond to messages mostly. And to check here and see how everyone is doing.

I continue to light a candle each day for hope and solace and health for all who come here. This is a special place. A locus of peace and meditative harmony. May you all be blessed by the love which shines so brightly here ...

As for me, it is a true winter ... short days ... darkness prevails ... waiting.
I can reach Dolo by phone less and less. Her husband doesn't turn on the computer so we can call. Just on Sundays. Dolo doesn't remember to do it. I count the days to when I leave as I listen to the high pitched wheezes that accompanies each of her inhalations. She told me that they went to Germany to visit Christmas villages. I am glad for this bit of joy for her. I want to bring something, but don't know what ... nor why I would even think to do so. I think that times like this, one becomes not rational in their thoughts. I can't bring her time. I can't offer life ...

For waxnrope and Dolo.
May their bond from brighter times sustain their strength and connection throughout the darkest of times.

Watch for her. I told her you were gonna be cold and could use some heat.

Bring her memories of your little surprises: the crinkling cellophane and the taste of a peppermint candy cane. Things for her to hold and touch. A silk scarf, a simple strip of satin ribbon with a tiny bell, a tiny really soft baby toy like a fuzzy teddy bear (add a a splash of what you wear). Things for her to hear: Bring a tape recording of you singing to her. A small battery operated cassette player so others can sing and talk and leave her messages.

My hope and prayers for a fast journey and good days and nights ahead for you and Dolo. Godspeed waxnrope.

Prayers to unconditional love
 

The difficulties of parenting...
 

For the wisdom to find solutions to seemingly insurmountable issues:

We are going through an especially hard time with Bratboy and I'd ask that you remember him as you are sending out such positiveness....

The call came... it's too soon as I looked at origin of the phone call. No. It's too soon. She has to wait for me. I've got to say goodbye.

She's quit eating and drinking fluids. Very weak.
Please, no ideas or suggestions. Just prayers and light and whatever your spiritual practice involves. It's the intent. The fervor. The love that counts.

Thank you all.

"That love is all there is is all we know of love." -Emily Dickinson
