Indebted, Beholden, Thankful, Gifted, Grateful: all of the above.

Lessons
 
Sometimes I wonder why this or that
Soul has entered my life. I try to see what
lesson I asked to be given me, so I might
learn and how this one or that one
has helped, or will help guide me through
moments when I have lost my way.
 
At times, the answers seem clear ~ at
others, not so much. Yet, I believe every
Spirit I encounter has some reason or other.
 
I know it. I may never understand it all, in fact,
I am certain I will not.  But that’s okay,
because some lessons are like rock crystal
and some are like mud; some lessons force
me to try over and over and some just
glide past, like I knew the answers, all along.
 
I probably did.  Just needed you. 
 
To say I am grateful is a gross understatement. 
 
We wend our way through the moments and
days of our lives, often as if we remain asleep
for most of it.  It’s so wonderful to experience
Souls who are genuine, who care, who bless
and without an agenda. We arrive at a certain age
and we hope for clarity, but often the world
seems even more confusing than it was when
we were young.  But there are Energies out there,
who are simply willing to Be and eager to Love.
 
I am one. So, are you. YOU. The Blessings you gift
me are not lost on me.  We mirror one another and,
at our best we Shine brighter than the brightest stars. 
I am so grateful, grateful you have anchored in my heart.
You. 
YOU.
