FREE HUGS the night shift

Recently, I joined a group, Free HUGS  Edmonton.  I lived in another city so I was anxiously awaiting my t-shirts in the mail.   I was happily  looking forward to events where I could go with others wearing  their T-Shirts and give FREE HUGS…at soup kitchens, police stations, childrens`wards at the hospitals and of course the old farts home where I lived.

 

The spirit was willing.  The body was weak.    So, being a creative being I thought  `<span>`I will wear my FREE HUGS t-shirt and hug all those I meet in the dream state.

 

 

If you cannot focus to say a prayer, sit in mediation or contemplate wear your FREE HUGS attitude in the dream state….I told myself.

 

Should you really want to get out there, while your young legs can carry you I can refer you to the site to get your FREE HUGS t-shirt…….in the interim, I am decked out for the night shift.

 

(Curing the world one hug at a time…..FREE HUGS)

 

In my experience, wearing a FREE HUG T-Shirt as a night shirt has been great.

  1. If the fire alarm goes off, your neighbours get a smile.
  2. When you meet a stranger in the dream state….they know instantly you are a Mother-Hugger.
  3. At the 3 Am ritual, you can smile at yourself in the mirror as you push the walker back to bed and go on dancing for the rest of the night….in your FREE HUGS attitude.
  4. It sincerely reminds me I am here to give unconditional love….thats my job….I am a grannie lady…I give hugs.

 

sending you hugs
get ready to receive it

Ahh Friday thought by Lao Tsi (Tsu)

Knowing others is wisdom;
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others requires force;
Mastering the self needs strength.

He who knows he has enough is rich.
Perseverance is a sign of will power.
He who stays where he is endures.
To die but not to perish is to be eternally present.

Grandmother Bear’s Journey

Living with Nature

I enjoy being a bear.   When the weather is blizzard and storm…I stay in my den, digest my dreams, eat fresh vegetables and fruit and wait upon Spirit to assist in the renewal that comes with hibernation.

In the dream state I was not free.  I was relating to things that were not healthy and I needed to make a change.  I started walk and found a little town that needed harvesters.  I wanted to work hard but in the dream still carried the aging body I now wear.  I felt I could take a “stay-cation” and report back to work in  a  day or so.  I awakened and  found a strength filled with Joy, mischief and laughter.

My work in December was a an inner walk-about.  Embracing with the protection of Spirit:

moments I had avoided exposing to the Sunlight of Spirit…or things which I had put on a shelf and just got on with life.  I have discovered that Spirit gives us these things to embrace, observe and dissolve with love when we are fully protected to handle them.

Christmas Eve many years ago life threw me a curve.  I put the entire curve on s shelf.  This year I was offered it back to inspect, select the lessons and dissolve with love the remaining pangs.  I fasted with fresh vegetables and fruits.  I walked where it had not been safe all those years ago. The  Kal did his happy dance and I had an emotional melt down to let it all flow and go.

In the darkest hour of it I was not surrendering the way I had planned.  The pain was too much.  I began to sing the Kal’s tune.  Then the miracle.  An ECKist  friend phoned “out of the blue” to ask me how was I doing.  I called her back.  I told her of the path I was on and embraced her caring as a beacon back to the Master.

We laughed and cried and she allowed me to vent.  It all tumbled out and we began to stand firm together.

It was a long Journey.  I was not alone.  I, as bear, am  now dancing on the other side of it and enjoying having it being a hurdle that was no longer on the shelf.

As a result, I have more compassion and love for Soul.  Mine and yours.

I enjoy being a bear with a good book, great love of the ECK and companions with great love and wisdom who lighten and brighten my day.

One friend stated yesterday that taking the weeds out of the garden is good.  Taking them out too soon we do not get the roots and all.  I was strengthened with love and distance to pull out the roots, look for help to get it done and open to embrace all the pain to get it gone.

The twins that were born and live only seven hours  that Christmas Eve have taught me so much about love.  I do not have children.  I do not have grand children and no great grant children.  I took the opportunity to be ‘alone’ these past holidays as a template for my future alone celebrations.  Accepting that  Spirit has allowed me to truly enjoy my own company and made me fit company for me.    I was told years ago that women who walk alone become the grandmothers for all.

I enjoying being a bear grandmother with a huge family to share my treasures, my joys and my wee truths as they are revealed.

Thank you dear heart for walking with me.  Thank you dear Master for food, shelter and gifts of Spirit to surround me while I took off the mask and began to smile from the INSIDE OUT.   The sadness when I see children is replaced with a Joy when I read of all your discoveries and adventures.

I enjoy inner travels.  I enjoy travels across the keyboard and I enjoy learning with my extended grand and great grand children.    Bless you for being.  Thank you for being in my life.

The first of the First first’s

This is my first

New Years Day at the Lodge.

Folks were hugging each other

as was the tradition when they were young.

It goes something like this:

The first time you see someone on the New Year

You want to be the first of the firsts

to give a big long hug

to tell them how much you appreciate them

to kiss both cheeks

to plant a kiss on the forehead

and to give one another a blessing for the year.

It was wonderful.

The cross section of nations was forgotten as we were one family.

I felt I finally was with my tribe.

(Yeah, like at a WW)

Blessings to you

in your new year.

I want you to be knowing

to me you are a

Blessing

every moment,

every day

in every way.

(Am hugging you on the Inner)
