My Earthly flame is dying:
I must go, start a new journey
but remember this my child:
"If ever you should slip
trying to climb over a cliff,
I will be wind lifting you up
to solid ground;
if ever your roots become exposed
from worries and sorrows,
I will be earth
to cover them;
if ever they become dry
from too many judgments,
I will be rain
to give them new life;
if ever you lose your way
through clouds of doubt
or shadows of despair,
I will be sun
to light and warm your way;
if ever you lose sight of your vision,
I will be eyes
to guide you over many roads:
I will always be with you
on this singular journey of the Spirit."

WW, I cannot find the words to express how deeply I was moved by yours!

Suffice it to say, I am tucking this treasure away for safe-keeping.

Love & Eternal Light,

This is exactly how I feel with regard to my sons and fortunately I'm pretty sure that they know it.  Wonderful write!

ah, if only, my son is before me on this path, but ....sigh...my grandson in trying to deal with the thought that someday I might die, tells me that he will ask God to let me be his guardian angel...
beautifully presented
