A candle of blue I light and give thanks for wisdom granted
A candle of red I light and give thanks for passions muse
A candle of green I light and give thanks for healing and health
A candle of white I light and give thanks that innocence exists for the young
A candle of purple I light and give thanks for the spirits guidance
A candle of silver I light and give thanks for gifts granted to aid
A candle of orange I light and give thanks for the benefit of hard work
A candle of brown I light and give thanks for friends and for family
A candle of yellow I light and give thanks that knowledge flows freely
A candle of black I light and give thanks that peace resides

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

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.
