As you quietly contemplate your life consider these words, written by my 16 year old daughter Amy, whom I have recently attuned to Reiki 1st degree. Amy also practices Metamorphic technique. I am so very proud of all she has achieved. Amy has so much to offer others, and am delighted that she gave her permission to print these words of wisdom...
'Every second of every day in every year is important- you never know what's around the corner. As long as you learn to love and accept life, all dreams are possible.
So not from this day, this hour or this minute, but from this second may we live life with our eyes and hearts wide open, and our hands ready to give and receive all of life's precious gifts'.
I would also like to add a little story of my own that I wrote just before Christmas last year, and is dedicated to all those who love Angels...
One starry starry night, when all was quiet in the house and only dreamy thoughts were racing through sleepy heads, a presence- a light bestowed Angelic blessings on those lying sleeping.
They smiled, as even in sleep they felt warm hands caress their faces, soft lips kiss their cheeks.
'She' smiled, then as quickly as she appeared she was gone- with one feathery swoop of her huge wings, she vanished into the night, taking with her a little box filled with the dreams and desires of each sleeping child.
Smiling to herslf, she remembered her own first experience with the 'Keeper of the Light'- she had seen her whilst she slept as a child herself.
" When I grow up," she said, " I want to be just like you".
'When you have gone so far that you can't manage one more step, then you've gone just half the distance that you're capable of'. Greenland Proverb
"There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories full of hearts broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream- whatever that dream might be. Pearl Buck (1892- 1973)
'Storms make oaks take deeper roots'. George Herbert (1593- 1633)
