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
 

Ditto..Echo echo echo. Thanks Turtle, this says so much. XO, Tommi

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

I would like to light a candle for a very dear friend of mine, who is experiencing some unknown health issues. Her red blood cell counts are abnormally low. She has been told that the average life span of a red blood cell is 120 days - hers are living 2. I pray that it is nothing serious and that a treatment is available once they find a diagnosis. She has an appointment tomorrow and is very scared. I offered to go with her but she is taking her partner if he is feeling up to it. I would like to hold her in my prayers and ask that others please do as well. Also on her mind is the illness of her partner. He has been having problems with his prostate and actually had to be catheterized and cannot get into a physician until Tuesday. This couple truly means so much to me and I hope that they may come through it with good treatment, support and love.

Thanks.
Paul

Asking a very special request for energy and prayers this morning.


I have been up all night with a very dear friend of mine.
The landlord of the house she moved into 6 weeks ago called her tonight. He lives in Argentina. Except when visiting here.
The conversation was as follows:

He began to tell her: who was the man who just came to your door and what did he give you?
She said, it is my books and how did you know someone was at my door? No answer
Then he went on to tell her personal conversations within the house.
That her daughter puts on make up before she leaves, and why is she still sitting at the computer instead of being in bed.
Also that her daughter was laying on the couch right now.
Amoungst many other things.

well she thought she was loosing it and paranoid..I got her out of the house..called the cops..and this is but 1 of 4 cameras and mics they have found so far.


My request is for healing, calm emtions and for her to pass through this easilly. And to feel protected.

I have endured the same in past amounst other things and this is a horrible thing to heal from.

She will be moving out tomorrow and charges are being pressed on many difrent types of things.

There is a locked room that all the wires they found go into. A warrant will be issued tomorrow to go into the room and visually see the equipment that the wires are connected to.

Thank you so very much for your assistance.

This has us all very shaken..and brought back horrible memories to me as well.
But I was glad to have had the knowledge to help her.

for Peggie and those along a similar journey
 

For the days and nights ahead where she becomes more and more lost. Seeing her wonder and wander. Hearing her labored breathing as she sleeps on the couch, not wanting to be alone in her bedroom. Estranged for many years, it is strange to be in a house I co-own and hear her labored breathing and see her fragile frail being sleeping feet away. She told me recently that even though I quit claimed the house to her in 2000, she never filed the papers. Another shock.

Last night was too close a call. She was too disoriented to figure out how to hook up to her emergency oxygen tank. I lost my cell phone last week, and am waiting on a replacement. It took me 45 minutes in traffic to get here, all the while thinking I should have called the paramedics. I think she overfilled the humidifier on the electric air concentrator (it was put on the night before and she told me she filled the bottle) ****and her lungs got waterlogged, then by the time she called, she couldn't figure out how to get to the portable oxygen Tank, and turn it on. Over the phone, she was panting, I could hear the oxygen tanks clanging and air hissing, and she not answering until I yelled Peggie ....Hardly breathing she got out the wrong nasal cannula that didn't fit the E Tank, took the connector and tried hooking it into the port on the tank...Finally, as calmly as I could, I just said, connect any tube to the 4 foot tank and stick the tube in your nose. She did and the panic subsided. We were able to focus on getting her hooked to the large emergency tank that had 4 hours on it. Over the phone, We sat for a few mintues of quiet breathing and no talking. giving me time to get there across gridlocked Orange County.

It's 5 AM and she is sleeping peacefully on the couch. I slept in the recliner nearby. This has been repeated many nights since Sept 19, when she called and I rushed her to the ER.

I am attending a Legal and Lifetime Workshop this afternoon at the Alzheimer's Association. She wants me to be Power of Attorney, and make sure she doesn't go to bad places.

My Ex of 21 years isn't losing her mind, she is losing her memory and as we taled about it we wept. I need to know what lies ahead, I guess, I really do know.

:praying: For Peggie and Freedom her cat, who watches over her...and for wisdom for me, as to what and when to do what needs to be done. For her children that don't get, or maybe do not want to get the message that Mom and their Gramma is seriously ill, and may never get better.

Please , Send her angels, light and love ...
