 No Good Reason (Or Perhaps, So)

1/9/2016

This week, for no good reason, I've been feeling lonely.  I am really happy and fulfilled on the current journey.  Life is exciting and new, but alongside of that has been this sad little story of feeling alone.  And today, a headache showed up and slowed me down to a stop.  In another life, I would be fighting and fussing over the single state of my life and arguing with the headache that I have no time for such nonsense.  Now, however, I just say, "Oh!  Hello.  I'm sorry you feel sad and that your head hurts.  Why don't you just come with me.  I'll tend you while you are here.  Let's make some steamy soup.  That will taste good for dinner and smell good all afternoon."

Let's make some wishes by the Christmas tree before we take it out to the porch later.

Let's listen to some good music.

Let's invite our fingers to sensory creations that always bless the eyes, the touch, the heart and soul.

And, then, let's close our eyes while we cup the light and say some prayers.  God, keeper of all that is tender and fragile and unexplainable... hold us and mend us in this moment.  Thank You for making something good from times that seem such a struggle.  We are blessed to be together, growing life, and growing deeper understandings of self and soul.  Amen.
