postcards from paradise

 

dear postcards from paradise,

there has been no camera, no walks out under

the impossibly blue sky. 

all traveling confined to a bed of clouds,

 the contours of dreamscapes.

 days and nights melt one into the other

separated only when the sky lights 

in the flashing silver hope of birds.

and when they sing...

it is as if the entire world is reaching 

 in my quiet window

holding me with

arms of 

 Spring.

take me outside myself with every postcard

from your paradise....

i look forward to returning to the land of the living

and visiting you all.

dearest rebecca
Yes we are reaching into your quiet window
holding you in the arms of Spring.
May you soon be out of bed enjoying it all.
with love...

Dearest Rebecca, I'm writing from a day of expansion, in-fact Mum's Day here in the UK, recent days I have felt a little hemmed in, bound with caring for the tired body whilst the spirit wanted to fly, I can empathise, but the last two days my spirit has soared and when that happens you really appreciate the energy. In the meantime I'm sending you a postcard from paradise 'wishing you were here'.

Love Sue x

sending love and healing prayers .

[Sarah]

Oh I hope you feel better soon. I have been wondering where you were and have just switched the computer back on to check. I will add my last post to your postcards as it is-of a sort-a rusty sort!
Sending you a healing hug too!

dear Rebecca -- your strength and healing words are so often directed outward that it's difficult to believe that you are actually suffering yourself. I send you healing thoughts, arms around you, quiet prayer and lots of love --

May the Arms of Love and Peace surround you dear friend and Lift you UP, restoring your body, your mind, your spirit and your energy until you feel light as a feather as if you could float over the cloudy landscape with a handful of bright blue balloons in your hand and daffodils in your hair. That is my wish for you.
All My Love,
Noelle

Love and healing coming your way. I linked Kamana's blog post today. . . she lives far, far away.

Ah, Rebecca, I'm so sorry you are having a hard week, but I hope spring brings its healing promise. I just returned from a week's vacation in Kauai, so my postcard really is a postcard.

Rebecca, I just read this now--I didn't know. I believe there is a cycle to illness--bing spent and down as you have been gradually changes to feeling refreshed, the up part of the cycle. I hope this happens to you. (p.s. During the spent part, allow yourself to sink into the exhaustion and get rest...) With so much love, Margaret

[Leslie]

praying for you, dear rebecca... i'm really ill, too. thank you for your words of love and empathy to me, while in the midst of your own suffering.

[Molokai Girl]

I can only imagine how must feel, but I guess only in the context of my illness. Somehow, though, I see it as a blessing even though it is difficult to live with and with more challenges than I ever cared to deal with. The blessings lie in the perspective you are given that you never could've had otherwise.
Praying that you are 'back in the saddle' sometime soon!
Hugs and much love,
paula

Thanks so much for your kind words over at my blog. I'm linking today to another place where my friend LC and I post pictures. May the pictures there serve as postcards from paradise for you. Get well soon! x0 N2

I just wanted to add another little 'love letter' for you dear, knowing as I do how these words from your friends surround your soul, keeping you held in a soft embrace until you are feeling the spring in your being again.

Loving you always,
Sue x

Oh, my sweet Rebecca,
wrapping you in arms of love and shining bright healing light on you. I will add you to my meditation prayers in my group tonight too. That group does some powerful stuff, all in the name of love and healing.
Loving you, my Friend.

Hope you are feeling better, Rebecca.

Much Love,
