LESSONS...from my daughter

My daughter has taught me about the interconnectedness of us all...How we are, each of us, reflected in each others lives...I have learned about the power of the mind and that the difference between living and dying, is within the invisibility of a thought...I have learned that the wisest of beings, can be the youngest...I have learned how to listen to the silence and "Make it so..." And l have seen the strongest of life threads within the most fragile of shadows...

My first born has taught me to listen with my heart and to 'see' with my ears...and l now understand the importance of living an authentic life...I have seen through my daughter that pain is only so, if not shared, that tears can be invisible and that true laughter shines in your eyes...yes in the "windows of the soul"...

I now know that we all need time to reflect, but that 'time' is the ultimate trickster, because within the space of a moment...Can be a Lifetime...I have learned the value of the "Earth Angels" that surround us everyday, for they are those folk holding our hands as our tears fall and pouring the tea to put the warmth back into our hearts again...I have learned to 'Trust' and to have 'Faith', and have seen God in the eyes of kind strangers...

My daughter has taught me the value of the gift that is life and l will love her for Always for the beautiful insights into her heart and the poetry of her simple truths...My heart bursts for the God given gift of my daughter...

To my Tamsyn, Love from Mum xox

NOTE: For a time (2004-2005) my eldest daughter suffered Anorexia... It was a terrible time but also a most amazing journey for us both... l felt to post these thoughts with the hope that anyone reading this today who may be facing trials... may find hope and solace in these words...
For l went on after this to discover that l had breast cancer and this time spent, sharing my daughters pain, taught me a lot about myself and gave me the strength to move through my own personal trials...(And move through them l did!) Strength l believe comes from within YOU and it was (and still is) my experience that everything happens for a reason and has a purpose if you just learn to "use your faerie eyes" ...and by this l mean to open yourself up to the mAgIc and mystery of life and syncronicity... So learn to embrace your 'mountains' l whisper to the wind, for within lay the secrets of your Spirit...

...and l am reminded again to...
"Follow your hEaRt for it is this ability in the midst of your trials that will be the measure of you" (Vicki)
