Surgery will be early tuesday morning at Anschutz Medical Campus. George and the girls will be with me. I chose this photo for this message because it is bright and colorful, in stark contrast to my mood today. Sometimes, I need to reach for what I cant feel just yet inside. Thank you to all of you who keep reaching out, and to all of you who are quietly holding space and praying. I feel especially vulnerable and cranky these days. The awareness of an uncertain outcome is hard to let in. So I reach out and let the angry/scared/sad out ... and then waves of peace come following. All of this matters. Prayers are welcome at any time, as well as smiles toward me and my family for courage to put the next foot forward without clobbering someone innocent. Have you noticed how good it feels to smile even when you're not wanting to? I dont mean those fake smiles we put on for show, but allowing a real full-faced smile to take over your face. The body seems to like it. . I love each of you.
So right now it is happening.... May grace abound for all involved... embraced in a cloak of healing love... resounding with the heart of eternity "Let there be Light." I love you, sweet friend, Gabriele
Oh Ali: I love you, and am holding you and George, and all of your medical personnel in my heart in prayer ... Much Love & Many, Many Blessings, Michelle+
I feel a stillness, a peace that this time has arrived, as it had to. Yes, its yucky and why wouldn't it be?
The field that surrounds or permeates is unlimited..
.
It is sunny here today; and it is windy and cold. The Sun wears his full-faced smile and it helps ... but it cannot drive the cold away. I do hope your "cranky" part gets to do some clobbering... Sending you, George and the girls smiles and love, Gabriele
Blessings and love Ali ... we walk by your side. Wakil
