Juniper, I now Know why you are called wise by so many. This is Home.

AG, thank you for being here although you suffered a similar wound. You are a rock of strength.

Nosis, you are already adding to my life, I look forward to experiencing what else you have to teach me.

Tink, I hope to find a way to understand and know you through the veil of mystery that shields you from my eyes.

Zala and my Friend in Spirit, when I see your posts here, and knowing that I still have two unopened messages of love from you two in my mailbox, I see the beauty in your hearts, and the image of a beautiful woman walking slowly along... with flowers appearing on her path as each foot leaves the ground.

Zanya, your gift of love, and my love for you are the greatest, because you, acting as God, have given me the love of so many others. And this experience. You have taught me boldness and bravery as Linda said you would, in the true essence of the words... in taking me one step further in learning to overcome fear and be still in faith. God bless you, Zanya.

Steve, thank you for reminding me to love everyone no matter what, and leading myself and so many others down your magical paths. For giving so much love and light that your own path becomes rough-going. You are my greatest hero and I suspect you might be for a very long time to come... yes, warts and all.

Trees,
Who you are is beautiful and your lessons (just like the rest of Us/Ours) are nothing to be ashamed of. You are becoming beautiful and strong in the best ways. It just keeps getting better. I read your post in UC and I am very proud of you and very glad you got to see Bleep.

You all (God) have worked together to give me the greatest gift of faith, and proof of God working in Our lives that I have ever experienced. And in a way I couldn't ever forget.
I can feel that I have reached a new level of loving power. Thank you, my Family.

The same thing at work always....even behind what seems like ugliness.

SOME FILL WITH EACH GOOD RAIN
Hafiz

There are different wells within your heart.
Some fill with each good rain,
Others are far too deep for that.

In one well
You have just a few precious cups of water,
That "love" is literally something of yourself,
It can grow as slow as a diamond
If it is lost.

Your love
Should never be offered to the mouth of a
Stranger,
Only to someone
Who has the valor and daring
To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife
Then weave them into a blanket
To protect you.

There are different wells within us.
Some fill with each good rain,
Others are far, far too deep
For that.

This is a church,
at least
in the sense that we all congregate here
for the hope of light and warmth of heart,
of spreading it,
of gathering it
of coming firmly to position.

Oftentimes that position we come to
may very well be no position at all,
which serves to remind us
that we are not where we thought we were
so as to welcome that truth
back into our current thoughts.

Whatever we build we can also destroy,
here
and in the world.

I apologize.

I often write in an indirect manner and I have not really invested much time in understanding what has just happened.

The reflections in my last post were only upon your analogy of LL to a church, which I really liked and have often thought myself.
I was only expressing my personal thoughts and feelings about this analogy.

I was just glad to see you posting when it was mentioned that you might've been leaving.

Valcap, I've enjoyed your energy too. That is so nice to say that you enjoyed that random musing of mine. It makes me feel better about my ramblings from time to time. I peeked at this thread last night and I felt such happiness and love. So glad to meet you, Valcap.
