Amazons

[lighter]

Please.....

I need prayers and strength....

::gathering wood for a fire::

I need wisdom and steady nerves....

::laying wood in stone circle and striking match::

I need the Amazons to come together.....

::pulling on cerimonial robes::

I need cleansing smoke and clarity of thought.....

patience.....

and to be brave.

All I have to join with yours.

Hang steady

I'm going to try to sleep...

 my body just wants to sleep.

If I can't....

I'll sit up and see who's sitting with me, by the fire.

I'm praying, Lighter... and I'll keep on praying. I promise.

Hello Lighter-

I will pray the prayer of a grateful soul, that you receive what you need for that most priceless of commodities- peace in your life and heart. Whatever hurtful and unsettling things that you are facing in this often cruel world, you and you babies deserve better. You have been so helpful to me in finding greater peace in my own life. You have my prayers and support in all that you need...

Love From Your Friend,

Changing

Lighter,

I was looking for you earlier.  I was wanting to make some leftover spaghetti sauce  taste like something other than spaghetti sauce, for I'd already had spaghetti two nights in a row.  I thought, "Where is lighter when I need her?"   Had I known that you'd be sitting by the fire with the Amazons, I'd have brought my spaghetti sauce laced with chilli from a packet.  Actually, it wasn't all that bad.

I'm thinking of you and the kiddles.

Thanks for joining the circle... tt and changing.

I'm praying too...

grateful to receive the prayers of those who know something about the battle of perception.....

legal and emotional menauverings of those without conscience.

I have guilt over pulling my family deeper into this ongoing despair (I've been living with for almost 2 years.... paralyzing)

I have to focus...

focus.

I slept hard last night....

and the dreams weren't too bad.

Thanks for being here... it means a lot.

I have gained so many insights and wisdoms here....

now I must remember, and put into practice, that which I learned.

Lighter,

You arent pulling your family into it.  Someone, or something, is pulling them in.  But it isnt you.

That's an important distinction, because you don't need any false guilt at this stage of the game.  There is a vortex of despair and it threatens to suck in everyone close by:  you, your children, your parents, your brothers and sisters, your friends.  You are not it's author or creator.  It is outside of you--it is other.

You will learn how to resist its pull--other people will help you--and you will help your children. 

Oh, Lighter, I know how it feels--it has been so very recent.  But it will end.  I promise.

Love
CB

Thank you CB for that reminder.......

I didn't create all this.

That's so true.

I'm so glad you're here right now..... thank you.
