that playing games with rocks is an excellent way to become light,
drifting above sadness
until laughter makes a tight raw spot in the heart relax.
That sometimes learning a whole lot of listening skills
is not as important as wanting to know,
and that although acknowledging sadness is good
it is even better when I'm ready to stand inside my sadness
reaching towards light
healing
joy
and love.

When, O Universe, is this woman going to write her book?
This post.
This post, it just moved me to tears. I just love you.
i've been wondering how you are, how things have been since your accident, if you are sleeping, if your heart is full.
i'm thinking of you.
So beautiful! Thank you.
Hele, this is just what I needed to read today. Thanks! You are wonderful.

The mline between student and teacher blurs.
And look at him. In his adolescent glory.
the journey is sometimes so tough, but to welcome it when you can is such a joy in being at one with yourself, even if it's hurting.

hele,
I'm just catching up on your latest posts. I'm sorry for the latest sorrows and troubles you've experienced. And this post...brings me hope. Not just for you but for your part of the world.
Oh. Learning to stand inside your sadness. How hard that sounds, but how necessary. How much stillness that must require, to just stand, when you want to run. I will keep these words with me. To remind me that I must run when necessary, but I must learn also the art of standing still.
Sometimes when I read your posts, I feel as if I should bow, touch my forehead to the ground, lay a flat palm against the earth of your world. Today especially.
Thank you.

beautiful lessons. thank you for sharing them with all of us.
oh lovely lovely lovely
ah healing
thank you, bp
you know? i still think a lot about that goddess avatar with the baby.
i know so little about you, your life, your struggles. i do understand some of your words, some of what you express. those last three photographs remind me a fresh orange, dangling from a branch in the sun. they are full of hope. and laughter. it is an absolute necessity in my life. it will purge any and all harmful things from my body, my mind, my spirit.
p.s.i love what debi write to you about the reverence she feels from your words. i can understand why she says that.
Sometimes, when I'm reading your posts, you get me at the very first line. Today, it was "playing games with rocks is an excellent way to become light"
Lovely, lovely expression of thought, as always.
beautiful -- photos and lesson!
just checking in on you love.
Where ARE you, Hele? No new entries??? Are you all right?
