Dear Spiritual Family,
In Alan Cohen’s A Daily Dose of Sanity, the “dose” for August 14 is entitled, “Everything Comes Around.” I, Rev. Steve, in reading this piece, almost immediately thought about a situation in my life that I would describe as a deep longing. I explain a bit more about my experience in the talk.
The article is essentially centered on making peace in certain relationships, particularly dealing with what can be a longing for seeing and being with another, when a significant amount of time has passed. He tells the story of a meeting between a birth mother and her daughter, given up for adoption some thirty years earlier.
You’re asked in the video message to take a moment to reflect on others in your life with whom you would like a healing, a resolution. Perhaps there was a falling out or just other circumstances that prevented you from coming together.
Our willingness to have such a resolution, a joining of sorts, can happen in the physical – face-to-face or by some other means – a letter or a phone call.
And perhaps, we simply, yet importantly, are only able to make the “connection,” heart to heart. Repeating the words of Alan Cohen – “If you are willing and ready, somehow everything comes around. The universe functions in impeccable balance, and love seeks to restore all sense of loss and pain.”
It’s suggested in our video message that you consider writing a letter to the other person or persons’ soul(s). Or you may simply choose to speak to them from your heart in prayer and meditation.
When circumstances are such that, like the three people in our story, you can connect with those you long to have this resolution with, that’s good. If not, then there is no need for despair. The universe, remember, is always “conspiring” on your behalf.
In the sanctity of your heart, love dwells. And from the sanctity of your heart, when expressed from your deep longing, love heals. Of this, you can be sure. We are reminded in the message of the Loving and All-Wise Help that is here for us as we focus our intentions on the highest good for all.
And we are here, holding that highest good for you, loving you, and seeing you happy and at peace,
Rev. Steve and Mary
