Yearning Part II

ALOHA

Welcome to 2010

"At the innermost core of all loneliness

is a deep and powerful yearning

for union with one's lost self.

Brendan Francis

"I seldom think about my limitations,

and they never make me sad.

Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times;

but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers."

Helen Keller

"Yearning is not only a good way to go crazy

but also a pretty good place to hide out from hard truth."

Jay Cocks

Recently

in a post here

I wondered if the loss of

YEARNING

was something to be mourned.

After writing it

and reading your comments

I began to think that perhaps

my yearning is simply

being

satisfied.

Maybe,

I thought,

there are new signposts

leading me to a destination

that is nearer than ever before.

What if the kingdom

is nearer than we dream?

What if it is at hand

not tomorrow

but in our hearts

right this very minute?

Perhaps we enter heaven

when we dare to believe

and to

let go

?

May this young year

bring you a new kind of wisdom.

May you begin your life in heaven

even as we fight the traffic,

pay the bills,

and create solutions.

Dare to believe

that all is working out

-even as you effort-

and you will become

untouchable . . .

. . .As your influence

expands.

Aloha, dear heart! cloudia
