I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Memories and their infuence are the treasures they leave behind for us to cherish.

We are just given a short time here on this glorious planet, and when “Life” smacks us in the face, it jolts us into thinking – we (I) don’t have to be in charge of everyting, my family can take care of things, it will be alright if I don’t dust or vaccumn everyday – or try to plan everyone’s life! It WILL be OK! Since last March when I found out my daughter was going to be an unwed mother, my white picket fence life came tumbling down around me. I thought “how can this happen?” She can not take care of a baby, she does not make enough money….what will people think? I was so into “Me”! Like you, I retreated to the beach. My life is just a grain of sand on God’s shore. In November, He BLESSED us with the most beautiful, precious baby! My daughter is an excellent mother, she provides love and security for her baby, and the baby brings her much joy. Surprise – life goes on! Everyone is doing great, taking care of themselves, without my control or suggestions, and I am rebuiding that white picket fence one picket at a time, just making the area a little larger for that special little angel that came into our lives!
Mee, I hope your week in the jungle is restful, but productive. Time away is always a needed respite, that makes the return home that much sweeter! Happy Birthday to you!

It was wonderful sitting with you the other day catching up. So busy, so many things to do and it seems not enough time to do it all. So when you arrived at my door that afternoon, I felt truly blessed and honored. You are right, Sayulita is the place where you can sit reflect and no one will bother you or feel rejected if you do not partake in activities. It’s also a place where support, love and understanding and people truly care for one another.

When we lose a friend, I believe they move on to a better place, what pains me is how they leave, the why, did it really have to be this way. You are also correct in the fact that this awakens us to look at our own lives and the ones we love to pay more attention, not take for granted the time we have been allowed here.

So yes, we are busy, yes we are driven to get things done even if we don’t understand how we can do all of this, our soul is the driving force. This moves us along with our work and it also lets us know when we need to go to that neutral place and look at the windows and walls.
Happy Birthday
Blessings to you dear one, always

Namaste,

Will
