I like to ponder a quote from a story called
The Little Prince
by Antoine de Saint Exupéry
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”The trick then, I believe, is to put into words what the heart has seen.
Sometimes a simple Thank You is all that we can say.
Then we realize as time goes by that our lives have been changed.
And we can often trace the reason for the change back to a kind word,
a soft spoken voice on a hectic day, the smile that is sent our way during
a cloudy storm....
How can we 'say' thank you for such a gift of Love & Light
that we miss the first time around and only hours, days or weeks later
realize we have received it?
A great friend once told me that it would be better to pass on a blessing
in remembrance of the one who gave it to me, rather than hang on for dear life to it.
That seemed wrong at first. Why would I give away something that I have longed for so long?
Then as time goes by you realize that giving it away is how you make room for more to come your way.
There are many stories about giving....
And the blessings that result from it.
There are many stories about giving....
Just for the pure joy that giving brings.
The kind of gifts I am speaking of are a kind word, a soft voice, a hug during a storm. A brief glace, a smile, a wink... giving a sign that you see me, that you hear me, that I am important....
What ever your reason for giving,
Perhaps complete Accepting is in order as well.
Because passing it on is very wise...
But, wouldn't you just hold it to your heart for a moment
before you pass it on? Receive the Blessings! They are given freely to you. You are worthy. You are Light. You are Love. Before you pass it on..... Receive....just for a moment,
That way, You have an idea how the next person who receives it
may feel.
And you have energized your soul to give even more....
Another quote from the story book
The Little Prince
"And he was overcome with sadness. His flower had told him that she was the only one of her kind in all the universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in one single garden!"
Tho' at times we feel absolutely alone
Then other times we get lost in a crowd....
What we can not see with the eye is what is most important.
With each ray of light that shines from your heart...
Another chilly soul is warmed and blessed.
Have you a moment to give a warm smile?
Tho' at times we feel absolutely alone.
Then other times we get lost in a crowd...
There truly is only ONE YOU
And this world is a sweeter place because of YOU.
"An ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you--the rose that belongs to me."The LIGHT that comes from YOUR heart
Is like the reflection from a beveled mirror.
Each person's bevels are unique and are molded over
time...
Each ray of light that enters... leaves changed....and then
another enters in it's place... and returns to the world blessed once
again... You are changed, The Beam is Changed Everyone who is touched or touches it.... grows a bit more, heals a bit more, reaches a bit higher and sings a bit louder in gratitude.
Because Your Bevels are unique and are necessary to the Path
of the one who would walk in your Light... all would walk in the light of their brother and sister today, tomarrow, the next night.... we share light with each other for a purpose, for a reason, for a season or for a lifetime.
(I heard a poem about friendship that sounded a bit like that once)
Each time you return light into the world,
You have changed another beam of love.
Your bevels have changed as well.
The combination is not possible without you.
If we each stood in front of a canvas , each with a different color of paint on our brushes...
We would need ALL the colors to finish the work.
Each of our brush strokes , no matter how seemingly small and
unnecessary, is important. VERY IMPORTANT...
What would a painting of candles be like without those glowing
tops painted upon them? (each brush stroke is important)
Especially the ones that we do not see with the eyes.
Our Hearts see what is important.
Just like the story book
The Little Prince
by Antoine de Saint Exupéry
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
The question is
What do we SEE with the Heart?
How do we put into words what we have seen?
How can we pass on the everchanging, evolving Love and Light that we embrace, change and pass on again.....
We each are part of the creation of an everlasting Light being shared time after time without end.
IN JOY
Brightest Blessings,
