With Love and Friendship
we can climb every mountain
we can forge every deep river
that comes our way!
And when the hardships end
we shall fly fly fly
ever so high
as we dance our cares away
on the wispy clouds in play.

I was nominated by Morgan to participate in the Five Photos Five Series Challenge. What is this Challenge you ask? Simple: You Post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph that shares your insight or inspiration of/from the image. Then each day another blogger is nominated for the challenge. Since I do enjoy a challenge, I couldn’t resist. I am nominating Mark. This is day 3 of this challenge for me.
What a beautiful poem of the power of love and the lightness of being.

This is what I live Life for NOW, Robin. Gradually I am getting to know like minded, here at WP, and in my 3D life. When the relationships grow strong, that is when the flying begins, no more solo for me. Step by step, we walk together, with our heads held high, respect for all beats with our Hearts, as we create a World of Love and Peace. Slowly I have withdrawn from those who drag me down, BEing instead with those who lift me up and carry me on their own wings. I’ve not grown into who I am without many a fall or many a tear, but this I can tell you, my friend, I am the strongest I have ever been in my Life. I have Dreams, and one by one they are coming True. Don’t ever compromise YOU, but stay true to yourself in every area of your Life. Not easy to do, especially with those we call family. I believe in you, Robin. I “see” you, and “feel” your Light and beautiful colors. Together we weave the colors of the rainbow in all we do. BIG (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

This comment filled my eyes with tears, Amy. Your words reached deep into my heart. I really tend to put things aside to make sure the ones around me are first taken care of. We all need to tend our own gardens to make sure we stay “whole.”
I did choose to set aside a few negative people when I turned 50 and now, as I approach 60 I probably need to.live more in the “now.”
I felt seen and understood just from your words here, Amy. Don’t know how you were able to do this but it is quite a special, loving gift you have. ♡

Now I am the one with tears, Robin. There are times, my hands seem to take a life of their own, and the words just fly. Many times I have doubts as to what I am writing will apply, but I have learned to trust and always hit the reply button. I don’t know how I do this, my friend. It just happens. I honestly believe a Higher Source is working through me and I am just the medium, so to speak. When I wrote what I did to you, I felt an immediate urgency as though what I had to write must be written. Bless you for encouraging me NOT to doubt this ability I have. Bless you, Robin!!! >3

It was perfectly timed and our Higher Source knew this. I was lying on a bed and not sure whether or not it was a nap or why in the middle of the day I just felt weary. You were like Simon and G’s “Bridge over Troubled Waters,” Amy. Thank you.♡

OH, wow, Robin! I don’t get much feedback on this “ability” of mine. Please thank the Angels and the Source of Love, whom many call God as I do at times. Along my Journey I have come to understand that God is an Energy, a Divine Energy, in ALL Living Things. And I do know that when I am in the Flow, which I have been of late, that Energy works through me as you have witnessed. All of my wise sayings on Petals manifest in this manner, either when I am conversing with someone or when I actually hear words that I must write down. Please, my friend, if these words struck so deeply within you, copy them and put them somewhere you can read them when you are guided to. It would be an honor for me that you do. I am so touched. I have tears. And I am SO grateful that I have done the work on myself in order to “hear” this Energy, my Sister so Bright … so I can assist others on their Life Journey. I do Love you!!! Know that! BIG (((HUGS))) Amy ❤
