.. and with the roar of the engines we were off ...

Hello to all ... I have not had the glorious opportunity to share thoughts of anykind on this blog for the last few days as I have been in the mode of travel and not able to connect to the internet. How interesting and profound a thought when one feels disconnected and unable to reach out to those they would in a usual manner. Time contraints, travel delays, harsh winter conditions ... so similar to the inner dragons one must face from time to time when there may be moments of depression, misunderstandings, or simple miscommunications that dance to a song out of ones' apparent control. This duality that supports the illusion of separation can certainly bring about the state of confusion and frustration. CONNECTION is the theme of this post, although until I began to type I had no previous thoughts as to the content of this message. Amazing how spirit always has truth that needs to be revealed. I type this as I sit on the balcony in this very beautiful spot in San Juan. It truly is a heavenly place, especially to those of us Canadians whom at this time of year are used to minus degree weather and not 80 - 90 full sunshine ... I feel quite blessed right now! The physical journey to travel here was full of minor interruptions ... unexpected delays and cancellations that postponed our initial arrival. Funny though, there was peace in the moments and trust as the plane was about to take off from the very snowy conditions that plagued Chicago with a storm. The trust factor was very much a choice in my being as I peered out the window to see some snow still on the wing, even after de-icing, just moments before take off. I looked at the facial expression of my husband to see that he too had noticed my findings. There was a minute when we silently contemplated whether or not we would say something to the flight attendants but trustingly decided not to ... for me this was a hugh thing as anyone who has had the delightful experience of being with me on a plane, knows my state of being while flying .... usually not one of complete total calm!! Of course, as I ponder this now, I realize that the fear was one of separation and disconnection and all of those crazy things that most of us human beings have felt at some point in this life. For this, I am grateful in the strength it took and continues to take for one to choose trust in situations that call for endurance, patience, knowing and certainty. I am grateful for the mantras that were available for me to silently repeat and for the constant angels that forever watch our flights, be it in the air or on this very sacred ground! My prayer tonight is for all whom have ever shared in feelings of disconnection or separation at some point along this journey. May the light of the holy spirit lift you always to know the truth that all things are always as they should be and to trust the unfoldments as they come within the wisdom and grace of your soul .... in abundant blessings and infinite love - apachebluemoon
