Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Carole, Know that the prayers and thoughts are going out and droves. Know too that love is being sent and received. Know that when we speak of the " breath " , we speak of the " spirit " . One being physical be-ing, and the other spiritual be-ing. It is not that the breathing is weak and therefore, the spiritual can not respond powerfully [healing], but that the spiritual is weak, so can not respond to the physical. This has nothing to do with being a spiritual person, etc... It has to do with experiencing loss or lack of " what moved him " . There is something that so excited him that it was his pure drive, a pleasure, he would have done it for free... " that which enlivens us " . Find " that " , and trigger it with him, and the rest takes care of itself. Your book sounds like it might just be in line with this in some way. I almost see it as the very healing measure that will make a huge difference, the very difference. I don't want to sway your them of the book, as it comes from your heart and soul...that is not for me to do, but, just maybe, since you both have " done this since we were teenagers " , the added parts of your child and his too included within the book, or the next phased edition, using these as, how do I put this, as " teachers " and " healers " of " loss " ...of empowerment...of love and hope. You see, nothing can happen that there is not a reason...what that is, I can't say, nor would I assume I could do so. But I sense that the earlier issues took not only life, it took " spirit " ...it " takes your breath away " . Could it be, together, the feelings and emotions deep within over all of this, could be expressed within the book [s?] to help others, and yourselves...a way to heal, to restore, to share, and to " put life back into " those involved? You see, " silly " is the key here. Silly is what Silly does. Silly binds wounds. Silly turns tears into laughter. Silly heals that which seems " unremitting " to other things. A " heavy heart " is a heart so full of love that it is afraid to let it all out, because it's the love for all we've thought we've lost, all we think we could lose. The heart is powerful...the love in it is even more powerful...and it " can not " run out...the more we let it flow out, the more that it fills up to even greater depths. We have to give it. And yes, it can be painful, like childbirth, but as we let go, we experience a flow of tears and beauty indescribable. Perhaps you go to see him while working on the book. Maybe, perhaps, " mom " might find something she would like to add to such a book.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 , Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts about breaths and the spirit. Reading your post was actually calming for me. I'm glad you didn't think the doggie book was silly. It has a lot of humor in it but is very rich with our past. I think I will ask my mom to contribute. Thnk you again for such a thoughtful loving response. Much Love, Carole > > > > > > Hi Loving Friends, > > > > I'm writing this with a heavy heart.
