This is how I feel about those sisters and brothers that I have been blessed to connect with through my blog...I am more than thankful...for you...
Thou art my sister and brother, because we were born of the same great spirit; conceived from the same mound of earth; slept quietly together in the cradle of unknowing until He in his gentleness set us in the midst of humanity...you are my sister, I love you.
You and I are destined to be companions on the highway of life; together or apart, you are my sister I love you....if the color of my skin is different from yours it mattereth not, only let the beauty of our souls be kindred.
I will honor your wisdom and understanding, as you will mine, together we shall seek the seeds of truth in the distant rooms of the Great Spirit; the reflection of inner knowledge shall wear as beauty upon our faces...you are my sister I love you.
I will be human and fall down in rough places; but thy hand is near mine, I will reach for it. I shall not be alone. I will embrace you when the rains of sorrow visit you, I will visit your soul as if it were my own....you are my sister and brother, I love you.
If death takes me from the lamp of life, and the veil of sleep falls across my eyes before yours, I will wait for you. I will come to lead you across the bridge of night into the meadows of the Great Spirit....you are my sister and brother I love you. adapted from a poem by Jean Humphrey Chaille

Beautiful thoughts, Rebecca. Happy Thanksgiving! xo
Oh Rebecca!! First of all, the things you have given thanks for just took my breath away. I love how you live in your heart and you speak from there as well.

Beautiful and thoughtful post...It openes ones eyes to the blessings we have...and what we should do for others who are not as blessed.
I am grateful that I am gaining my health back...so that I can visit my favorite blogs and leave a message of thanks.
Thank you oh sweet and wonderful Rebecca....for putting in to perspective the HAVE instead of the NOT HAVES. For in your above post I, like you, have things and people and life to be grateful for.
I had read this on Gemma's blog the other day....it goes to show how connected we all are through this silken thread of love and kindness.
I am SO happy we have connected!!!
XOXOXO
Love and hugs,
Lisa

Did you know that if you thought or said the word "healthy" three times for every time you thought or said the word "sick", that you'll never get sick and never die?
It's true!
