A friend of mine wrote to me, telling me about how overwhelmed she felt in her life, at the moment. This was my response....
"I'm sorry that your feeling down. I know it can be very hard when it seems like every time you take one step forward, you slide two backward. I know when I start to feel this way, I just remember that I'm alive now and that every breath I take is beyond value. Because when the breath stops we are no more. Realize that every moment is precious like no other. That is all we really have, "each moment".Like the song says "precious and few are the moments we two can share".
so pinch yourself to check to see if your alive, kiss your children and tell them how much you love them, bask in the glow of those feelings of love. Remember that you are an immortal creature, whose depth goes far beyond this mortal coil. All wisdom, love, joy and peace are within you waiting for you to say yes to them."

Remember my friends, that there is no one in this thin layer that most call reality, that can truly harm you. They can can torture, you and kill you physically, but you do not have to suffer. There is no need to fight them, who are against you, you will bend like a reed in the wind.You are the seer, not the scenery. You are brilliant beyond measure, you will ascend, "inward" into the eternal light of love. This is your true destiny. this is the destiny of all souls. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they shall know God".
