A River of Stones: July 26

A Small Stone:

“Love one another from the tenderness of your heart, for that is where I reside.” This is the reply I recognize in my vibrating bones, and beating heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If words fail,

When tongue, lips, jaw cannot form them,

There is song.

Perhaps the gentlest most direct form of winged prayer.

Pure sound released up toward the heavens

Through lungs, throat,and diaphragm, 
Another harmonious miracle

Beginning at the soul center.

A clear path emanates

In ever growing circles.

Love flows, in waves of longing.

Longing for healing, comfort, safety, strength, peace.

A simple hum vibrating one’s bones.

Can you feel it?

Eyes closed,

Waves of sound washing

Over,

Around,

Through

Outward,

Upward,

Inward.

May the sweetness of loving melody

Penetrate

And cleave to the heart

Of the

ONE

Who hears all prayers

And cries with us.

Tears fall down

Rain upon the thirsty soil

Tricking down our faces,

Divine tears mingling with

Our own.

Surely the Essence of All that Is/Was/Will Be

Desires to do more

And so:

Relies on us to help

Each other,

To be the wise minds,

Nimble fingers,

Caring arms,

Voices that soothe.

Answering our prayers:

“Love one another from the tenderness of your heart,

For that is where I reside.”

This is the reply I recognize in my

Vibrating bones, and beating heart.

Last morning of steroids today, lets hope this will be for a long while, five months of consecutive Solumedrol infusions in a row is a long run for me. Praying the Gilenya does it's job well with no complications as it begins to protect my central nervous system, for me and all the other brave MS patients who are giving this new, drug a try. Blessings upon the researchers and doctors who pour their hearts and souls into finding ways to bring us relief and slow this insidious disease down. Deep, deep gratitude to my home-health nurse Tyla who has been such a kind companion on this journey for nearly three years now, dedicated to getting my line in on the first try as often as she possibly can...and usually she does!!!
