I am in a circle of friends - all women who arrived here in the 1940s and 50s. Geographically, we are spread far and wide and have not met in person. Yet, we found each other through little miracles on the internet. Our love and support for each other runs through many life times. They are my trusted and best friends.
Today, we were writing about issues in our lives, and one of the lovely ladies sent this reply. I felt I must share it with more people.
The older I get — which is plenty old enough, but not as ancient in Earth years as I feel — and the more I become familiar with the wide variety of spiritual teachings available to humanity, the more I think that the only game in this entire Universe is the Loving and Beneficent Challenge to each and every individual soul to practice turning to the Light and calling for Assistance.
So my compassionate (and unrequested) advice to you both — and to both daughters — is to forget the details of the drama, and simply practice calling on the Divine for Assistance. On any level. On all levels. All the time. Wonder what’s the most beneficial thing to eat at this moment? Ask. Feeling crappy physically or emotionally? Ask. Can’t figure out what to do next? Ask. How to solve a personal or planetary problem? Ask. And then listen to your Heart.
If we can just only share that one thing with our kids, and practice that one thing ourselves, for sure it will save us a lot of useless confrontations. It can’t hurt and it might just be the only game in town. I read an advice column yesterday where someone wrote in wondering how to help a friend lost to an obviously abusive relationship, and the professional's advice was to to do nothing except to tell them as often as possible that you are there to help, no questions asked, whenever they ask for help. That’s us. Exactly. All of us.
With much Love and Gratitude to all that you are, and all that you do, for all of us.
