Precious Light

Here is something beautiful that I want to share. My step-mother/friend/huge source of strength's uncle Satyadharma wrote this in a email to her and she forwarded it to me. It touched me, and I'm humbled by the love that so many people have for Zoe. For life. As many of you know Zoe means life, but not many know that her middle name, Seryn, carries the double meaning of serenity and serendipity. Our dream for our daughter has always been a peaceful and serendipitous life.


So this is our life, now. With Zoe, with all of her Being. With the
Precious Light that is her... that inhabits her and eminates from her
eyes and her smile and her soft hair. Zoe is taking the Challenge, at
age 5. What courage. What grace of innocence. She has become a small
person on the big mountain of Life that is showing her all of the
Reality. In ways only she can be able to get it, just now. For
Zoe-understanding.

Mostly, it doesn't jive with the world and the bigger people around
her... but that's okay, because her love and the love given her is a
fine interface. But inside, Zoe is learning from Light. From God. And
this Light is letting her live out all that she has ever been, in
eternity, and all that she is to be and become... forever, so she can be
the flower she is meant to be -- for HERSELF.

It is amazing. That such a child could be ready for such a challenge.
Ready on a deeper, unseen level. A place of Mystery... that compels all
of Man. So much so humans have created hundreds of religions just to
honor, or at least, acknowledge it. This Mystery... our Light, in each
of us, takes us only where and as far as we are able to. At our own
pace. Zoe, in fact, is way ahead of many of us.

Respecting and honoring her Life's way: and healing and helping her in
her body/mind's ways -- of pain, or fear... these are the sharings and
carings given to us -- the people around her who she is teaching.

Love is it. The rest, the technology of science is available. And prayer
-- the offering of Self to HigherSelf in heart and let-go... we have all
that is necessary. Whatever is needed will be revealed.

There is no death of Light. There is a great doctor of Neurosurgery,
great friends and spirts abound, and the deep love of mother and child,
grandmother and grandchild... and on surround and feed Zoe. Even I have
sent a couple of spare angels to sit on her shoulder... if there's room!
