My grandmother finally gave up her fight with cancer yesterday at 9:24am. She had a long hard fight that lasted 8 1/2 years. Nobody desreves that! I loved and still love her. My grandmother would let me rest my head on her lap and play with my hair when I was feeling discouraged, lonely, or sad. I could close my eyes and feel a grandmother’s love. She was my nurturer. She was the one person I could always feel accepted by. No matter what was happening in my life, I could go to her and find acceptance, love, & nurturing. I needed her and I still need her. It will be a challenge to maintain my connection with her now, but I know it’s possible. She’s still with me; I just need to learn to feel her in a different way. In her last days, I slept next to her while she struggled to breathe. All I could think about was...why must she suffer so much?! Why can’t we just take this pain away for her? Well, we tried...we tried to keep her comfortable, but there’s only so much you can relieve when someone is dying from lung cancer. I will try to remember her as the lively, eccentric, & nurturing grandmother I grew up with. I don’t want to dwell on her last days, but I am thankful I could be with her as she left this world. I love you grama. Love & Light

Do we need to run away to discover new parts of ourselves? Can we find all the irregular and narrow breaks in our surface created by the pressures of our lives' swimming in the practical details of our daily existence? I hope so because it can take so much out of me to keep changing the appearance of this hemispherical vessel of my conclave.

Transitions

I don't know what it is that keeps me searching and searching and searching for something but I don't know what. I guess I wouldn't want to change this about myself…how boring to stay the same, to stagnate. I just don't like the way it feels sometimes to be in the angst required when changing and growing. What I love is the feeling that comes when I discover something new in myself, a new skill, a new potential, a new passion. This makes life worth living and worth enduring the downs that must be endured to make the ups so much sweeter. I think it's human nature to run from pain, to try and escape the muck of confusion and the fear of the unknown, but I think I would feel emotionally and spiritually dead if I made a habit of this. I need the challenge of truth and the transparency it provides in finding those irregular and narrow breaks in my surface to keep me learning new things about myself and other people. I want to thank all the beautiful people around me that walk with me on my journey through this life to find these hidden places in myself. You are all blessings to me and you all help me to wake up and see. I want to thank you for seeing me…all of me and loving me…all of me. You are the illumination and the warmth. XO, L
