Songs

        A mournful song has been heard throughout the land. Its tones drift to the skies and carry with them much heartache and sorrow. There is much need for comfort as well as soul searching. Lives have changed and the earth has changed and that is causing much unrest and uneasiness. In times like this, change can be very unsettling and the need for steadiness is increased. Worry is part of this song. Worry for safety, worry for survival, worry for needs to be met. It is difficult to find peace and hope and especially goodwill.

        In times like these, we need to look inside, but we also need to look toward one another. We all have a song to sing. We all have a particular frequency or tone to play in the world and when another's song is distressed we need to soothe with one of our own. When the number of distressed songs merge together, it is like a dark cloud. Somehow we must let a little sun come in and dissipate the darkness. Finding that ray of sunshine is not easy in times of stress. There are times when we have no song, no harmony in our life, when we are all as an empty room.

        Realize that though your song may be muted and though you may not have the heart to sing, that this will not be permanent. Know that within you, the healing is beginning though it may not be obvious. Do not put a timetable on your healing for it takes time and time and time. Find comfort where you can. Find moments of quietness. Find a friend to be with or find quietness within. Share with another. Be kind to yourself as you go through this loss, this shock.

        Pray for help. Send your voice to the skies. Know that you are heard and that we send you love and comfort.
