For You Papa.....

Those who depart

Are like pressed flowers...

Between breaths!

As Fragrance they no longer linger, nor waft!

But remain constant!

As A Presence!

Till you breathe your last...

As your very own Breath!

Love carries us all & in love alone we carry our loved ones. Lately I’ve noticed, we may be physically apart from those who in this life-sojourn have preceded us, but this space of heart only knows to grow in love; for now we carry them in every breath. Living through chronic pain for 19 years, life has taken a lot, but like water that only steeps in & fills all space empty, life when takes something it only does so to breathe an understanding. I believe in this magic of life that can transform pain into beauty thorns into flowers. This uncertainty through chronic pain has led me to this doorway of magic, where surrender is that root that only holds you upright when through each turmoil you let go your mind in belief that there’s a higher force carrying you through it. That when nothing is in your hands or control, then you are verily led to the door of Faith & Love that shows you life is much more, then what we often make it to be. Where miracles breathe through you, For these blows have softened your rough edges & painted a picture for your way-ahead with a softness of smile born from Gods lips. When my dad left his physical body, today, a year ago, he came many a times in my dreams. To reinforce that don’t loose that spark of miracle that you’ve been living with. He came to show me with that glint in his eyes that when you choose Hope & Love you’re already Gods endless possibility. After that initial month he didn’t come in my dreams for the message he wished to convey was already sealed within my heart. For all those who’ve experienced this loss of a loved one, I’ve come to realise we never truly depart, for We carry each other as Love woven in our breaths & as tears that our minds in attachment to bodies wept. For all those who carry their loved ones as pressed flowers between breaths.

& for you Papa...Always!

Coco & Papa, during Cocos 10th birthday.......

WhileI was going through crushing-pains & didn’t even know if I would make it through & knowing that my dad reached out, as he often would

& For Mom too who’s always been a rock in his life!
