I am

God is what I call the sacred Presence that is always with me. Despite this year of sadness and transition I have been able to taste that Presence within and around me always. I changed jobs, left an 11 ½ year relationship, watched my children graduate from college and travel to foreign lands, and most recently I lost my father. But through it all, I talked with God; I chose to live inside God’s holy heart beat. I never lost the voice of Love surrounding me and for this I am eternally grateful. I will not say at times I was not afraid but I knew the Beloved was with me.
I reached out and felt the amazing love when I watched my son board the plane to SE Asia and my daughter leave for Peru. I felt an amazing love as I cared for my dying father hoping my son would get home in time to say his goodbye and that my dad would make his transition before my daughter left. I felt the arms of the spirit when I discovered the man I’d chosen to love had no understanding of love and had never been faithful to our relationship and had many others during our 11 years together. I prayed……….
Prayer is my way of coming into balance. Prayer for me comes in many forms. It can be a movement, a song, or a story. It can be tears or fear brought to the surface by heart break. It can be surrendering to the pain of heart ache. But it is always sending out a voice that signals a willingness to come into being with something more than ourselves. Even when I was so sad that I thought I could no longer feel…. the Spirit reached out and covered me.

My earth angels come in many forms. They are friends and strangers. They are young and old. They are male and female. They remind me to put my trust in the arms of the Sacred Mystery, they remind me to be who I am.
