A Breath Of Eternity

Sometimes I sense a gentle presence within me that lightens my burdens. It is silent and comes forth as I allow. It’s nearly midnight. This could be a lonely time, but I’m anything but lonely. The soft background music brings forth a sweet memory of my mother as one of her favorite tunes begins to play. A melancholy emerges and deeply touches my heart.

It is so easy to slip into memories instead of being in the now, but this memory is heartfelt and comforting. It reminds me how fragile this life is. It says, listen…listen, she’s close by, and in reality she never left.

How fortunate I am to sit in the sea of memory for just a little while. After hours spent filling time with everyday activity, her closeness brings tears to my eyes. Yes, it is a part of life, a part of something I cannot fully comprehend. Still, somewhere in the depth of my heart that memory comforts and sustains me.

People used to say how much we looked alike. Others do not see it. I have some of my father’s features too but mostly I am my mother. She taught me by example how to treat friends and neighbors and, most of all, to love God.

A day passes quickly, and then a year is gone. How many more moments, days and years? No one knows. I don’t take life for granted any more. Right now, there is nothing to do. Oh, if I could know this freedom well. One day, perhaps, the Light will come, and I will merge into the consciousness of the Beloved. Tonight though, I sit quietly in this breath of eternity. Nowhere to go; nothing to do. I’ll just be and…in this moment…that is enough.

And so it is…


Beloved Children,

The winds of change blow through your consciousness, upsetting your world, as you know it to be. These winds have a greater purpose than you can see. They come into your life to remind you that this is the time to surrender into peace.

The life you live is often shrouded in mystery because your vision is not clear. Pain and pleasure are choices and are present in your world. My dear ones, you will feel the pains of change until you are able to accept them fully as breaths of eternity.

As you learn to accept the winds of change and welcome them as truths to be explored, your life changes. When you understand the need for pain, it disappears. Clarity comes through prayer and silence, acceptance and love, duty and diligence. Out of this willingness to surrender, the winds calm and the peace of heaven emerges.

AMEN


Wwritten for you with Love,
