Sometimes God brings people into our lives, that irrevocably change us….remind us of things we have forgotten….teach us…..awaken life in us….and love us ---just as we are.
And in those once in a lifetime moments, God brings that person into our life, that will hold our hand as we journey down a truly dark road, tunneling our way towards the light—which surely does await at the end. That one who gently reassures us with a warm embrace and a calming, kind word of affirmation and encouragement (because He knew we would need that love “with skin on”—to see ourselves anew as the warrior/princess/goddess divine rock stars that we are).
I am grateful for walking this road with a beautiful one…and for seeking understanding on our journeys. I am thankful to surround myself with those who want my good…and challenge me to be the best me I know how to be—and to be constantly raising my awareness of WHO I AM….by trying new things….delighting in all things good…and hoping in the healing things that are eternal.
This morning, I saw you—quite possibly for the first time….and accepted you (with joy) as you are….right where you are….with a wealth of nothing but love in my heart—for your good…and for endless grace, outpouring over your life.
I realized all this time, I had felt you slipping…felt you dying….tried to kill you off and leave you behind, buried--when really, I just want you to LIVE, abundant and free. In peace, and wisdom. Surrounded by grace and TRUTH.
I love you, my most beautiful friend.
I SEE YOU.
And I am grateful to walk this world with you as we seek our own paths….and to be known, and to be loved….daily.
We go~

Andy Beth, my heart aches for you- a difficult time; I have been reading your blog, and I see this incredible, talented woman; she inspires me, at a "wise" 64 years; words like "meeting the day here and now," write yourself a Declaration of Independence (don't cut your own hair!) A Peace Treaty With Yourself. Or simply keep putting one foot in front of the other . . . grieve when you need to grieve, but keep moving. I barely know you and I love you, I love your spirit, I know you can do this. Big Hugs-
Chris Robert
beautifully worded - as always.
you have a way of being intimate without details that makes your journey(s) universal.
i am glad your eyes have been lifted up -
~Psalm 3:3~
But You, O LORD, are a shield about me,My glory,
and the One who lifts my head.
