" 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 ordinary sparrow Kundalini-Awakening -Systems- 1 , " iamwaitingmoon " <iamwaitingmoon@ ...> wrote: > > Dear All: > Have you ever wondered how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?
