From my friend Bob James this morning - well worth a read: Status Update By Robert James I remember arriving home one day from school. I laid back on the grass and gazed at the clear blue sky overhead protecting me.. I watched and waited. silent planes flew high above me, and I knew peace. before long, my eyes closed, and i went to strange places within my mind. I saw much, and acknowledged great things, yet in my slumbers, knew nothing of this world. for I was asleep. or was I ? .. the sun shared her warmth with me, as and my neck and hair became wet with the moisture of the heat that day and with my eyes closed, I was aware even, of the creatures that chose to live within our garden. the tiny ants and spiders that frequented their world, were also in my world. the birds who landed to take the offered bread from my palm, were there to share, the woodlice that came to say hello, yet couldnt speak in my tongue. they all lived in harmony, unaware of the other yet knowing their own place. I loved them all. when I awoke, my Mother placed a glass of her own home-made lemonade at my grasp, and smiled her beautiful smile upon me. that protective smile that shielded me from the less than worthy things of this world. the smile that a Mother has for her offspring, the unconditional silent love that creates the bond between Mother and Son. I knew heaven at that moment, of total peace within me, of being a part of something so great that I thought my little heart would burst. and I smiled back, thus agreeing with her that we were all that mattered at that moment. I was special. simply me. and she knew this. it would take many years here on this earth, and her passing before she fully understood, yet at that time, she already knew . bless her. Years later, she called me to her side and spoke... she said simply. “ I don’t want to be here anymore Bobby” ... I replied “ then you know what you must do.... close down from inside and wait for that time” ... she smiled and we hugged for a brief time, then I left her that day.. she closed down, she went into herself, allowing nature and wonder to oversee her final journey from here. and she left. I didnt shed a tear. not for her, and not for me either, I knew what was right and proper. I sometimes selfishly ache for the love that she shared with me. I sometimes yearn for the days way back when she held me inside her arms and smothered me with the love that only a Mother can have, of the feeling of being snuggled into her bosom as a 7 year old, and yet I also know that is it all ok now, for us both. all as it should be. I now understand that I have been granted so much love, far too much love for one heart to hold, and that having this burden of being overloaded with so much love, that i have to share it with all other today my Friends, I share my love with you.. whether you are happy or sad. whether you feel weak or strong, whether you know harmony or have little direction this day, please know that you are loved.. completely loved, and that unseen eyes will follow you this day, loving you as you are, for who you are, .. have a beautiful day . x x x x x x x x x
