danielle, I can only begin to imagine the sadness and pain of such a loss.. and

just that brings tears to my eyes... I cannot bare to think of loosing one of my

prescious baby brothers, the sadness it would leave... love to you, danielle,

and I hope I will be strong enough and trusting enough when my turn comes to go

though the loss of a dear loved one... such a wonderful metafore you

used...lucia

Namaste

 

 

 

dear Danielle

 

 

 

so sorry for this lost for you and your family. . . " the death of a baby

 

is like a stone cast into the stillness of a quiet pool; the concentric

 

ripples of sadness sweep out in all directions. " . . .

 

 

 

standing between earth and sky this day contemplating a lollipop and

 

how to get to the sweet essence . . . Danielle the old Native/Irish soul

 

of yours must sense this is what you have with this littlest member of

 

your family. . . the precious essence of this baby. . .eternity. . .that

 

which always was and will always be. . . .

 

 

 

Danielle do you remember the Irish mourning song?

 

 

 

.. . . . . I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the snow on the

 

mountain's rim, I am the laughter in children's eyes, I am the sand at

 

the water's edge,

 

I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle Autumn rain, When

 

you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet

 

birds in circled flight, I am the star that shines at night,. . . . . I

 

am not there, I did not die. . . .

 

 

 

dear Danielle may you and your family be wrapped in the I Am of all

 

eternity and hold this precious baby forever. . .for he is holding you

 

too. . .

 

 

 

love and peace

licks it took to get to the center of the tootsie roll pop and wrote to

 

the candy company to tell them. The company supplied him with a years'

 

worth of candy pops and Sugar Daddy the size of the state of Colorado.

 

Needless to say, I was not permitted access to his stash of chocolately

 

chews waiting their unveiling. I would experiment with leaving the pops

 

in the sun, smashing them with a hammer, or running them under the

 

faucet. To my delight , I soon discovered that those tootsie centers

 

existed without the coating and were packaged in a little bank for safe

 

keeping.

think that my brother was on to something…he experienced and

 

savoured the journey. Sometimes that's a difficult thing to do when

 

there is something so deightful at the core just waiting to be

 

discovered.

chunk of quartz and winds of the four directions-the change of seasons,

 

and a little blue butterfly with brown marble eyes. I received a call

 

advising that my little nephew died. How many licks does it take to get

 

to the center?

Dear Danielle,

I feel the gravity of grief that you are facing.

I used to cry within if a child cried.

I had to go out for my job once for period of six months.Thought of

seperation made me cry.

I can understand your sorrow,time will heal you..shrikant
