Missing My Riley

 

Treatment by Caron Ward, RScP

I love the first hour of the day…the sun breaks through the clouds and the sky shows its colors, and there is a quiet anticipation of what is to come.  Yet these days there is a bit of sadness that colors my early morning hours for I am missing my Riley and our routine of early morning walks and prayers.  So on this morning, I sit quietly in the stillness of the morning and I pray….

The love of G-d is all there is…IT is the constant in Life, in my life, in the lives of everyone, everywhere.  This love is magnificent, it is powerful, it moves mountains and crosses oceans…it is infinite – there is no place, no space, where this love is not…This love is eternal, ongoing, it has no beginning nor any ending.  This love has no judgement, It’s presence is with and within everyone and everything.

I know that when there is a loss, the emptiness that seems to be left behind is a temporary perception.  The love of G-d is never destroyed, and soon the fullness of that love is once again felt wholely and completely.   So I sit with these feelings of sadness, I allow them to be, as they represent the meaningfulness of life. I allow the grieving, as it is not simply sadness; no – it too is an expression of Love.  I feel the comfort of the eternal Presence with me and I know that the space that I felt left in my life is already overflowing with Love. I am blessed to always know and feel the presence of Love, to feel its eternal energy flowing through me, flowing through all of Life. In this moment, my heart is full of gratitude for the expression of this love as friends, as family, as all who come into my life…

And so it is with this loving gratitude that I begin this day, knowing that these words are true and blessed.  I release them into the Law …it is so… And so it is.

Have an amazing day!
Love
