We are many, together we are strong
 
For Tommi and Peggie
Sending you both the strength and energy you need to endure the days ahead, peace for the heart and soul.

For Lady Pamela and her friends

For those who face illnesses and cancer, another day to fight, another day to live and love.

For strength to continue the smile outside, while inside you're falling apart.

MR and EM create a new celebration of your mother today. She was, for us all, a force of love. Blessed be the crone who wonders the see and the breeze.

Sometimes, this life is horrific,

Sometimes, it is full of blessings too abundant and too beautiful to put into words,

Sometimes, it is quiet and we enjoy that quiet - sometimes we are waiting for the other shoe to drop,

Sometimes, it remains to be seen what it is we are learning,

I am lighting candles tonight for warmth in the spirit to cope with the many facets of this life and the twists and turns that are inevitable...

Ryobi 01-31-2012 11:00 PM

Didn't get to light them on a cake.
 
Today was my mom's birthday. The first one she wasn't here for.

I light a candle for her. May her afterlife journey be beautiful and bright.

I light one for her family and friends, who miss her.

I light a candle for my brother in law, who committed suicide this past Oct. (his B-day is tomorrow) May the light show him a better path.

I light one for my sister, 2 nephews, and 2 grand nephews. May they find peace in something none of us (my family) understand.

I light one for a long time friend of mine who committed suicide in Sept. He felt buried with guilt for things he had done at war, it was his way out of going back to war. (his B-day is Thurs) May the light show him peace and understanding.

Spirit Dancer 01-31-2012 11:23 PM

Through Darkness Light Comes Through
 
For Tommi and Peggie
Energy for the upcoming days, a light to ignite memory.

For Turtle
A flame infused with energy and peace

For Ryobi and his Mother

For Lady Pamela
May her steps be light and peace be with her decisions.

For A lost friend
Even when darkness threatens to cover you
there is energy and light to guide you back into a safe embrace.

For Clay
New Journey, New Love and Life

For Sir
With Love, unwavering, Unconditional through the roughest times, i'm your beacon.

For My Sage Advisor,
Thank you! Will never be enough!

For Wislawa Szymborska, one of the greatest poets of this century, who died Wed. at 88. If you are not familiar with her poetry, I suggest reading it. Much of her work has been translated. Her words, which I believe to be the truest test of poetic genius, are powerful in any language.

This flame burns for all on the Planet who needs an added boost!
May you rise above whatever your hardship is.
May you take free flight and sore like the Phoenix!
May the negative be left behind in ashes.
And may you feel revived again.

I ask all past loved ones,Elders,Guides,Gods and Goddesses'
To bless those in need this day,
To help them through that which is hard.
To walk them through that which feels useless,
To direct them with knowledge needed to achieve.
To ease them through hurt so intense they feel they can not take anymore.
To know they are giuded and loved.
To surround them with calm.
And to direct that in which they have not been taught yet.

Most of all, I ask that in times of need or dought,
That those in the higher good, watch, bless and protect them.
And when needed, take the wheel.

I haven't been here much as I've been in a depressive state of mind and one more piece of sadness may just tip the scales and push me overboard.


Sadly, I come here with a heavy heart as I found out R has another nodule in her throat that showed up in an ultrasound. She was scheduled for a biopsy, but it was canceled because they said it was too small to biopsy at the moment, but will check again in 6 months....WTF is that all about. I'd be scared to wait 6 months. R once told me, she's not afraid of dying, but more afraid to go through chemo ever again.

So, all of you know with my state of mind, why I may not show up in this thread often.

For my brudder, continued prayers and blessings to you and yours
For SD, who is a mountain of strength to her loved ones at home, peace and prayers
For Lady Pamela and her son, keep on keeping on with promise and hope for the future

For those who need inner peace and strength, I pray daily

I am lighting this flame asking for energy and prayers to go out to my sister in law Karen and her 5 children and grandbabies today.

Last night they discovered the blood was not reaching her heart. They went in this morning to do a cath with a balloon. They realized her main vessel had a hole and she had lost lots of blood.
They fixed it and I just got word they will probably have to give her a tranfusion. Still waiting to see.
So far, though in ICU, she is atleast stable.

May those working on her be guided by a higer source. May the family be comforted and feel protected and comforted. And may she know how very much she is loved. May she not be scared at this time.
And may her direction be swift. And healing be strong.

And if now is her time to go, may our loved ones be there to guide and calm her journey.

Thank you so much in advance!

Spirit Dancer 02-17-2012 08:37 AM

When we feel there is no hope,
We draw on Faith,
When we are down to the last ray of sunshine
Hands are joined and energy is sent for renewal
of Faith and Hope.
When we feel there is no one listening
our prayers are heard.


For we are few, but we are many.
For Wolfy and R
Lady P and her family
Lady D and hers
Tommi and Peg
Turtle
Pinkie, D, and D's Mom
Clay
JustJo and Her Family
Sir and Lil Spirit
For those who feel their flame is dwindling.

My youngest brother (Dan) told me my stepmom is back in the hospital
I worry so much for both of them as he has taken care of her 24/7 for so long now
He told me he can't even go out for fear of leaving her alone
Although he does go out when they need things for the house
I'm grateful he moved there about 6 months after I left

My brother Peter will find out next week if his cancer has spread or the chemo is helping

R has a doc appointment in April and won't have to wait 6 months to get checked again
She's been feeling really tired lately, I talked to her today

For them I pray daily along with my prayers for others in my life that are near and dear to me

Lighting a candle for my roommate, and best friend, Hayden. I received a call at midnight tonight, advising me that he had been admitted for meningitis, in a small town 2 hours from home...I drove out to be here for him and because his girlfriend does not have the MPOA to make decisions for him. I cannot post a candle with my iPhone, so I am keeping the picture of one in my head for him. I am praying that it is viral and not bacterial, which is much worse.

For all those who need a candle -
for those who are sick, for those who have died or are dying, for those who are dealing with surgery, chemo, and the unknown,
for those for whom life is harsh, for our bio-families, our families of choice, and our friends and for those who are trying to help in so many different ways - may we be open to that help...we cannot get through this life without help from others...may we be open and accepting and grateful. Amen, Blessed Be, and Ashe

Hollylane 02-19-2012 07:48 PM

The last 18 hours has been emotionally and physically draining. I still have many hours to go before I hear the test results about my friend's meningitis...I know in my heart that they will come back as viral and not bacterial (the better of the two), but the waiting is hell on earth. Having to drive back without knowing the answer was really hard.

Here is the candle for Hayden that I could not post earlier.

Thank you to all of you for your kind words. Good news was heard today, Hayden is back in Portland, and it was determined that it was viral. His girlfriend has taken him to her place, and is pampering the hell out of him, which is exactly what he needs right now. He also needs some kind of tether to keep him from returning to work too soon!


PinkieLee 02-21-2012 09:30 AM

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that sent prayers, positive thoughts, healing energy & words of encouragement for D & her mother. I find comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain.
