THE ORIGINAL GANG OF MUSHROOM ROPE BUILDERS (i.e Mel & Em's thread cont...)

Hi everyone

Well have changed my name back although it still suits as it will be 10 months tonight that Dad left and I can't help thinking back to that last day.

Bern & Kel - can't believe you didn't know I was miserable mary - who else is a miserable cow around here? Hee hee. Kel, I'm on facebook too and it can be addictive, although I don't go on there much these days. Bern - my fingers are crossed for your two jobs hun XX

Mel - thank you for the pic my friend. I hope your Sunday is going ok with the family X

Em - I am so sorry that you didn't get to speak to anyone on Friday. They just don't realise how worrying this can be and how much stress it causes when you have to wait. (((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))) X

Enjoy the rest of your Sundays all, I am making the most of some peace and quiet here as hubby has gone to the football and little one has gone to a party.

Lots of love to all,

Sam X

Then Almitra spoke, saying, “We would ask now of Death.”
And he said: You would know the secret of death.

But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?

The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.

If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;

And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honor.

Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?

Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink form the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

With Love Bern xx

Hi girls

Yes Em, I'm hoping and praying that things are peaceful for them and that Jac knows we are here for her. We all need to keep holding on to that rope, as Mel says.

Love to everyone,

Sam X
