Mourning

I want you to be Joseph
to hold me in your arms
and complete me.

But I know the time has come.
I must look inside to realize,
I am whole.

Joseph’s birthday is Oct. 12th. I am surprised at the sadness that has enveloped me. I deeply miss what we had together. I know that moving forward means integrating those parts of me he brought to life — the sense of adventure, my femininity, never meeting a stranger…

It happens — one day at a time!

Life is a journey of awakening, of shedding what we were trained to be, of being willing to open to the mystery of what is now and of what will be.

I am grateful!

    My birthday is October 11. My father died on October 18. All 3 of us are in me, Dad, Joseph and my own Being, and I speak to the both of them often. I can still hear their voices and I know what they would think about what I am doing.
    My son gets married on October 12th. It is an emotionally loaded month for me.

    Lots to integrate. Your are already whole and maybe never complete. Who knows? The whole process is creative and energizing. Maybe we are complete and don’t know it.
    LOVE AND POWER TO YOU
