I cant help but marvel at how the universe conspires with all the unseen energies of those we love to bring us to this place in time. wide eyed, speechless and full of wonder that all you have wished for is in the palm of your hand. and that for every moment you felt empty and used up; you now revel in perfect well being.
when i think of you and my mind wanders through all that we have shared i think that the birds that have flown into my garden and the butterfly that dips its wings over each flower; each has moved the very same air that travels slowly east toward you. all of it drifts through the universe over my ocean and your forest and the other side of the mountain . you breathe in the dust i breathed out. and so a little of me stays in you.

this journey started about 62 years ago. I began to acquire bits and pieces of luggage to store and carry the necessities for my trip.
I noticed the bags got bigger as the years went by and no matter what city, or state, or even country i journeyed to; try as i might i could never leave even one bag behind. They went everywhere with me.
My biggest bag was labeled fear. It always crawled under the seat. Afraid..always afraid! i mean there was so much to fear out there! Who wouldnt be afraid?! Low self esteem always sat on the floor. It never felt worthy to be anywhere , but under someone's feet. And then there was pity. Pity hung out the window so it's tears wouldnt flood the car, or train or plane. The bag named blame was a constant companion as was disappointment and regret.
And then one day I noticed how outworn they all were, and how big and heavy they had gotten, and how very tired i was of carrying them on my journey.
So i began to throw them out one by one.
Fear had to go first. It filled every empty space. I got a new bag called courage. It was bright and shiny and new. It made every trip an adventure filled with fun and excitement.
A new bag called pride replaced low self esteem. My back was straighter and my shoulders thrown back. I am so beautiful!
Hope and faith replaced self pity and blame. Now my journey became less about running away from sadness and despair and more about traveling toward light and joy and gratitude. Disappointment and regret got left behind so expectation and bliss could grow.
And now the journey is all about love and all its wonders..
