Deep inside each of us is a longing…it is often unnamed but ever present. For some of us it is a painful reminder of our humanness and for others it is the portal to our spiritual awakening.

Recently Life has been more challenging than I prefer. I often say I don’t do drama and yet dramatic things still find ways to take center stage in my life. I know in my heart and most assuredly in my soul that when these “problems” arise it is a time of opportunity for growth and expansion. This does not mean it isn’t painful, that the tears don’t fall, that fear doesn’t raise its ugly head and try to consume me, devouring all I have worked so hard to establish. But I remind myself that when things blow up they must come back together- as energy is never destroyed- just rearranged.

Everyone copes differently, everyone has a different comfort zone and there is no right way to conquer fear, no right way to find ourselves back on stable ground. I have read hundreds of books and still no one has the answer for me, only I do.  This is what I believe -within me, beyond the longing, is the answer. It is up to me to delve deep and explore where my humanness and my spirit merge, because within that space Love lives. Love is for me the only answer, in whatever form it takes, it never takes me into the longing, but fills the longing, and I find my essence.  I am a radiant child of a loving essence, as I believe everyone is.  Amnesia is the price we pay for our human existence and the longing is the call to remember.

I could never navigate this world without the help of Divine Spirit, the Angels, and those that have passed through the veil before me.  I often dream of my Mother who I know still exists beyond the here and now and she still loves me despite our “separation”.  The bonds of love are never broken, never, because Love is that powerful.
