Between Two Worlds


Friends, please hold me in your Light
As I struggle between two worlds.

The message my angels gave me --
A date on a calendar --
A vision of grace and butterflies --
The songs my bird guardians sang --
The doctors’ prognosis --
My friends giving us money and food --
My heart, too strong to stop beating,
      But too weak to sit by the water’s edge.

Death is ignoring all that.
My earth-bound ‘committee’ is shaming me with all that.
And my faith has been chased away by all that.

Friends, please hold me in your Light
As I struggle between two worlds.

To learn the new language my angels are speaking;
To understand that Death ignores calendars, but so does Love;
That this universe holds fear and demons as well as grace and butterflies
      And maybe you can’t have one without the other;
To hear the higher frequency of the bird songs;
To know doctors are humans
Which sometimes means basically clueless;
That I haven’t taken from my friends,
I’m just not too good at receiving;
That this heart gives me another day to be with Marilyn
      And another day to forgive myself all these struggles
      And another day to be very angry, and very sad, and very afraid
…and then to eat some chocolate
…and remember all the cakes I baked
…and all the love I’ve given
And have faith in your faith when I can’t find mine.

you are loved, Lovey
giving and receiving are the same

God has her own timetable

I love you very much

Lovey!

You are an amazing angel and I think of you and hold you in my thoughts and prayers, everyday, every single day.

I know you've heard the adage: If you want to see God laugh tell God your plans.
My heart is with you as you struggle with having to stay in this phase of existence longer than you planned.
Maybe it's like finding a new partner--you aren't looking for someone but there she appears, whether you're ready or not.
Maybe this is another lesson in patience.
At the least I know that Marily is glad to have you here for a little longer and so is my Laura.
Love A

According to Rumi, "Death is our wedding with eternity."

Lovey if you've been left at the altar than I know you'll find a new lover soon...

Whoops, Marilyn, this is only figurative!
