"May life touch that place
where you fear to go,
May love embrace
what you don't yet know.
May you hear the call of
your soul's sacred song,
May you come home to yourself,
it's where you belong."
Julie Parker
With the passing of a friend, I recall deep conversations we shared, and make note of missed opportunities to express my appreciation, honor, and respect for this individual. It is so important to state our thanks to those who touch our lives while they are still present in this earth life. We assume they know how we feel, but why not say it, repeat it, and shout it, just to make certain.
Not only for those who cross over into other realms, but to friends we never see anymore or strangers who became friends in a small slice of time. I find it important to be grateful in each moment rather than getting swept away by the interference of time.
Would we appreciate ourselves more if we were regularly reminded of how we touch other peoples lives? Would we see the significance we offer in the greater scheme of things? Would we feel more connected to the circle of life by joining our hearts as well as hands?
The more we explore our inner landscapes, decipher our dreams, and articulate our yearnings, the safer we feel with ourselves, and also with others. In releasing our fears, we can begin to live our lives fully, embracing our flaws and highlighting our gifts. Listen for the words of your sacred song, and let the harmony carry you home.
