Below are words I wrote for a young friend when she moved away. Every day from September 3, 2013 until December 29, 2014, I sat in silence holding her tenderly in my mind and heart. After a while, I knew what to write and then posted the words on Facebook. These notes are some of what came through me for her which is why I call them Notes to Sophie.
These are for you, my dear Sophie.
You are never alone.
I am never alone.
It is impossible.
We are one.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
How long shall we spend trying to be like others, to fit in, to get others to like us?
In Truth, we need merely be ourselves.
That’s when the miracles happen.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
While it might be lovely to be physically present everywhere at once,
it is unnecessary.
We are so fundamentally connected,
that it is impossible for me not to be with you.
Does that not make you chuckle with the joy of it all?
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
In silence,
we feel all the loving beings who surround us.
In silence,
I hear the whispers of your heart.
In silence,
you know how loved you are.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
Confusion is being separated from Source.
Listen, breathe, allow.
Patiently know all that you need to know
will be whispered by your heart.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
What transpires on this or any day is far less significant
than whether or not we chose to go within
through music, meditation, dance, prayer, nature, art
or some other path that brings us back
to the Divinity
within.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
Seasons change,
locations change,
opportunities change,
worldly rules change.
Ah, but all that matters never changes.
And so, it is that I love you.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
No matter where you are or where I am,
I see your eyes and then I know
the joys, the sorrows, and the hopes of your heart.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
Tonight, before you sleep, own your day.
Seize the joys.
Be grateful.
Feel the hurts, know them,
and gently release them to the earth to heal.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
When someone or something feels prickly,
let that be a guide to you to go within.
Breathe peace.
Be still and listen.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
There is a profound peace in the realization
that challenging situations and people are simply a means for developing our spiritual muscles.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
Seeing lack in others is of no service to anyone.
Ours is to connect with the light in our sisters and brothers
and thus,
show them their greatness.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
It seems there may always be voices of praise, condemnation, joy, and fear.
Ours is not to judge among them,
but simply to go within and await the knowing of what is ours to do.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
The joy in us is far greater than any story!
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
Your smile is a lullaby to my soul.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
Living from love does not mean choking down pain.
When we lovingly speak our Truth,
we liberate everyone.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
Group approval is never a substitute for inner guidance.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
Have the courage not to know or do,
but to wait for Divine clarity.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
As I begin to form a thought into words,
you know the thought and feel the words.
Our minds are one.
∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞ ∞∞∞
In everyone is peace.
In everyone is love.
Look with Light and that is all there is to see.
