] Date Posted: 09:44:31 01/30/08 Wed  Long ago when I was small I rolled in sweet grass and picked daisies. I skipped down the street without fear of falling and ran up the stairs never stopping to catch my breath. The Bridge was far away. I grew to be a young woman and forgot about the grass and the daisies. Life was calling me to fall in love and I did. A family was born and grew and I forgot about the bridge until one day my Father died. I looked out the window that day and realized The Bridge was getting closer. Then my children’s little ones were born and our family grew. Life seemed to be starting all over again I was so involved with new life everywhere until one day one misty day while fixing my hair in the mirror a vision floated in the background a vision of the bridge with footprints of those who walked across soft impressions on the dust reminding me . . . And so I try to live each day with “Yes” on my lips making memories making time to love to pick the daisies that can only smile so briefly and promise not to rush this life away because I really do see the Bridge.

Date Posted: 19:51:09 01/30/08 Wed Hi Sasha, I used to say "No" a lot more than I do now. Seems as if I don't have to as often, maybe because I'm drawing the right things and the right people into my life and I don't have to fight against the tide so much. Thank you dear! Hugs, Joanne [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:05:18 02/04/08 Mon Yes, DSL, I believe that we all know something is waiting ahead of us,for that time when we are ready. My prayer is that we all go "gentle into the night" one day, knowing we have truly lived. Thank you, xoxo Wilopent [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:14:09 02/04/08 Mon Andy, I think perhaps we are many old souls finding their way to the Motel. It seems to be the time and the calling for us to arrive here and share something very special. Thanks to you and Sash for opening the doors. xoxo Wilo [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
