The
soul would have no rainbow
if the
eye had no tear.
--unknown
Compensation
Enormous
grief
Has
leveled me--
Welded
its bulk
To my
back
And
will not let
Me rise.
Yet--
"I'll
give
No burden
that
You
cannot bear,"
he promised
me.
I am
amazed--
How
strong my back
Must
be.
-- Carol Lynn Pearson
God saw
a tear,
and
kissed it away
with
the smile of a friend.
-- A. Leblanc
"Piglet
sidled up to Pooh from behind.
'Pooh!'
he whispered.
'Yes,
Piglet?'
'Nothing',
said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw.
'I just
wanted to be sure of you.'"
--A. A. Milne
There
are no burdens to heavy when
you imagine yourself on angels wings!

God put
me on this earth to
accomplish
a certain number of things...
Right
now I am so far behind I will never die!
With
trust in God,
we may
not
find the mountains smaller
but
we will find the climbing easier.
Lessons
of Pain
Why?
I have
learned a great deal from you.
Why
do you linger?
Why?
I have
learned so much
To slow
down
love
meditate
accept
people without judging
cherish
and embrace each moment
appreciate
what I have while I have it
take
one day at a time
take
nothing for granted
That
I want to help others
love
others
that
I am lovable
expectations
lead to disappointment
others
do care
and
those who seem not to care really do,
all
addictions are destructive.
That
I am a musician.
music
heals
so does
touch
and
love.
That
I am a healer
I am
good, not bad, not evil.
Everyone
is essentially good.
That
I can love and be loved (thanks Angel...)
Dreams
can come true
That
instincts are always truthful
emotions
lie
and
the rational mind does not always know.
That
I am at home with my spiritualism
And
was in a faraway land until you showed me home.
I had
strayed from my true self.
Oh pain,
why do I still hurt?
Yes,
I have decided to make friends with you
since
you were so stubborn and refused to leave.
Now,
I have learned from your teachings...
Does
this mean you will continue to linger?
Isn't
it time that I learn to practice your lessons
without
you always hovering over me
reminding
me of them?
Don't
you think it is time to let go?
Are
you willing to make me try?
To let
me walk on my own again?
To walk
on my own with a gait that is much stronger
and
confident
because
of You.
Oh Pain,
Please
You
must understand
It is
time to let me try.
Most
of us remain strangers to ourselves,
hiding
who we are, and ask
other
strangers, hiding who they are, to love us.
--unknown
I am
only one, but still I am one.
I cannot
do everything, but still I can do something.
--Helen Keller
"You
fell on me," said Piglet, feeling himself all over.
"I didn't
mean to," said Pooh sorrowfully.
"I didn't
mean to be underneath," said Piglet sadly.
-- A. A. Milne
