Mindy, I could hear the words of your father speaking so clearly in the purity of your thoughts…both your fathers…you are so perfect.
Hope grandma didn’t wear you out!
Love my angels.. Doug

That is such a beautiful story Audrey, of the innocent beauty of the innocent heart. It offers such a touching truth that even an old mind like mine is able to regress for a moment to feel the innocent beauty within each of us. It is a difficult transition to allow the way your mind thinks, to change from years of taught beliefs, to a mind the feels the love in this universe, and reacts to each moment with the the innocent beauty of a child. Love the moments.. granny!
Love Doug

Here’s a story.
.
Last week the twins here turned 2. Being absolutely identical twins they have a special relationship with each other, but at times they get possessive over something or other and there’s loud crying, hair-pulling and sometimes biting. The noise can be atrocious. I was in the office with the window open, watching over such an outburst when neither wanted to give way to the other. They hadn’t spotted me. I was about to respond to the screaming from my head as the ‘good’ granny laying down the rules of ‘good kind’ behaviour, when I did a quick heart-check. Instead of interfering and adding to the general rukkus I felt to wait quietly, watching and listening with hands covering ears. Suddenly one let go both the toy and the other’s hair, reached out and hugged the other, who also released the toy, then they stood apart and began to laugh, leaning over towards each other, hands on knees. Then the toy and the fight forgotten they wandered off together hand in hand. It was such a beautiful thing to see. What do you think had happened in that split second that so vastly changed their behaviour? One had turned from head-thinking to rock solid heart-feeling action, (that place deep within us all, call it – “deep feelings,” “knowing place,”) and related to his brother from the feeling that came from his heart. That feeling was love and metanoio or turning to heart-thinking took him there. The fighting behaviour showed their egotistical head-thinking. I’m not saying all their quarrels are so beautifully made up, but I could have easily ruined this particular moment by reacting from my head as a ‘responsible grown-up’. Believe me, being where I am at present with 6 little kids under the age of 7 has taught me a lot about obeying in the moment from my heart and not my head. Hope this little story encourages you to stop, and turn from head to heart IN THAT MOMENT OF NEED.

I return to NZ Sunday - then I can access your site more easily without disruption!!! Meantime keep going deeper - it’s the only way to REALITY - even babies of just 2 can get there!!

I just got home from being with ur angels uncle Doug! Of course I was late, but they expect that from me. What a great night we had. We set up Grandma’s Christmas tree, ate some pizza, talked a bit about life and danced and laughed to the sound of music.
All of these things happened because we are wrapped up in a lifetime of love from those who have passed away and because of those who are still living. Family and friends are so important. We can all learn soo much from each other. We have so much to give. If we open our eyes and really look deep into the hearts of others we will see that perfection that God created. We don’t need a church to see it. We don’t even need the bible to understand it. It is just simply within each of us already. We just need to acknowledge it.
Christ died on the cross for not just one, but for all. He lives within each of us and when we look at each other we see the face of God. We each have our own story to tell, but it is the feelings behind the stories that we need to touch some how. Listen closely to what you are hearing and be selfless to them in that moment. Put yourself in their shoes in order to understand their feelings and hope they do the same for you. Be strong in who you are and what you need. Don’t deny yourself of what you deserve as a human being. You are labled many things in this life, but one thing you are for sure is simply human. Trust yourself. Trust that you know what is best for you. You are never right and you are never wrong. It is a perfect process that you walk in. Everything that happens happens because it is suppose to. Teach yourself and others along the way that Love never fails even when you think it has failed…it has never ever failed and as my friend Kat would say…never miss out on an opportunity to tell someone that you love them.

First off Doug??? I love coming to the site to read your words. I get happy knowing that a new comment was written by Doug. Maybe the dynamics of this site have changed a bit since Dad died, but I personally love what is happening and encourage you to keep it up and keep following your heart and sharing it with us. I would love for anyone to write the words of their heart here whenever they feel the need to do so. That is what it is all about. Doug, you bring me encouragement and laughter.

Audrey,
I have missed you so badly. Each person here brings something different to this site that I love sooo much, but I feel a strange connection to you. Your words flow through me and I feel my spiritual connection to my Dad. You said, “Within in you is the source of LIFE” and that is what I have been feeling. I have tried to deny it here lately because of the pain, but I can’t anymore. I can hear it Audrey. I can hear it!!

Well, well well! I have a couple-a hours to myself after looking after 6 little kids under the age of 7, (my Aussie g’kids). Quite a busy time for me at the ripe age of 3 score and ten!! I’ve been here nearly 4 weeks and have used up my time off tonight reading through all the threads including MCs ‘wisdom’. I feel sadness for you at the death of yet another family member, and compassion for those that I have read of being in pain, particularly Mindy, so what I would like to encourage you all with is simply this. Within you is the source of LIFE. You were created in the beginning when the word spoke - long before you were clothed with a body in your mother’s womb. Your reality is spirit and not the human shell you reside in that you see when looking in the mirror. Learning to live from the spirit within you, is a LIFE that will touch every cell in your body, quickening it, changing its tempo so that you will eventually learn that this body of ours as it is willingly given over to become part of his glorious body will show forth HIS reality which cannot be corrupted and will NEVER die. This is the body we are called to be - it is the spirit’s express wish that we should be those chosen to manifest the glory of the Christ spirit. Are you able to HEAR this?

My LAST words will be to the administrators of this site.
Your beauty and your truth is what JESUS died for, it is not your minds that he touched but your hearts, and it is your hearts he want you to share with all.
I thank you for the time you have given me to journey to places i didn’t expect, and i hope that you will always be as gracious to future travelers.
Mindy, Bruce, Geo, Steve, thank you for your patients with me, i know i have tested it, but it has let me feel more then i knew i could, and for that i say THANK YOU.
ALL OF YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL MINDS, and hearts that so many need to feel, and i will be watching, waiting, and wanting, like i did for the next words of a precious brother… Peace, and love always Doug

Is there any truth in my heart that you want to correct, is there any pain in my mind that you want to console, are there any words you want to share, is there any reason for me to listen. Have you found me as folly, have you found me as your amusement, have you felt me to be phoney, have you seen me without a soul.

I love you bro, and I dressed and danced like a turkey for you.
goodnight lishy
