Rain *Edited with a thought*

We’ve got it. I think it will be a good thing, especially as we have been spoiled by such incredibly lovely weather lately. Time to talk, reflect, go inward. Rain can be such a good thing at times, leading to quiet comfortable times.

For Bren

I don’t know the specifics
don’t need to really
all I hope is that in this time
of selective privacy
(are you overwhelmed
unwell
feeling your fragility)
you are grounded well and truly
to walk through phases of healing

I know you are attended by angels
even when it’s too dark to make out their forms
the fluttering of their wings
rest well
and I’ll look for you
in the sky and on the pavement
where the sand meets the waves
I remember the red earth where you are
and hope it feeds the rebirth
of a phoenix with a true and noble heart

Thought: There is no time limit on emotions, especially grief. There can be no greater loss in this world than that of one’s soul mate. We all need to take our time, however long it takes, as we move through the phases and transitions life on this planet hands us, in order to be whole and ready for whatever comes next.
Be well, my friends.

Redmoonrising tells me she is o k

this is a beautiful poem to a sweet woman. ryn: you’re so incredibly kind. I have been so torn lately between wanting to dump everything out here and wanting to shut down completely. ’tis a cyclical thing, both emotionally and physically. I hope Bren truly is all right. Her notes to you are always so lovely.

ps – we finally have a little sun. the rain we’ve had has been exhausting.

Grief sets its own timetable. Let it run its course… Rain…sometimes its a very good thing. It’s raining here today too.

I think I said to Gabrielle once that there is no statute of limitations on grief. Each of us has our own timetable and some of us carry the grief with us to our own graves. Much love,

I almost never know what to say to your very deep thoughts. In any case, I stopped by. It’s raining here too. I feel somber.

It rained here a few days ago. It did not leave me with the usual feeling of inward-seeking. Instead, it irritated me. Thinking of you and your friend today. 🙂

Lovely and so loving words you write for Bren. Many hugs.

Yes grief is has it’s phases and it is a process that can take years of recovery.Some people never recover from loss, but they seem to find a way to live with it and go on from day to day managing to survive and stay active….but deep down, intheback of their minds the grief remains ready pop up in the quietest of moments when they leastr expect it..when memories flood back with the tide…

of time, that seems to know no boundaries.

Hugs,
