| creation of Sandy Wythawai Starbird |
I went to our wonderful local grocer today, which was a fun outing in and of itself. But the best part was running into an dear friend as I was checking out. Sandy Starbird is one of those people with whom I felt a connection the first time we met, and that connection has grown into a deep friendship. I was checking out when she was coming into the store, and our first impulse was to hug each other. Sandy gives the best hugs, transmitting all the good vibes she has accumulated in her beautiful lifetime. We stopped the requisite six feet away from each other and closed our eyes and mentally hugged for a few seconds. We reminded ourselves that the hugs we miss so much can be given and received no matter where we are; that all we need is intent to access the connection which flows through us all. When I turned around to continue checking out, the cashier was crying, telling me how moved she was by our exchange. If you’re missing physical closeness with your family and friends, remember they’re only a thought away. We are all connected, and our loving energy is much needed in a fearful world. Let us not forget to give it freely!
"The manifestation of God through mortals is as light passing through the window-pane. The light and the glass never mingle, but as matter, the glass is less opaque than the walls. The mortal mind through which Truth appears most vividly is that one which has lost much materiality -- much error -- in order to become a better transparency for Truth. Then, like a cloud melting into thin vapor, it no longer hides the sun." Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 295:16
