March 2010 Prayer, Light and Healing Requests
Every year in March I’m often reminded of the classic song "The Waters of March," by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jobim wrote this song in a stream of consciousness during Brazil's rainiest month of March. He once said the process of writing "The Waters of March," saved him hours of psychoanalysis and brought him peace of mind.



Lovely songbirds Suzanne Vega and Stacy Kent perform in English
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDzkf9uX0do&playnext_from=PL&feature=PlayList&p=6DB4DBCFFE9AF54A&playnext=1&index=82
Here is Jobim with Ellis Regina in the original Portugese
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srfP2JlH6ls&feature=related


The song is not a story but a collage of the mundane and profound, taking the listener through life's ordinariness, despair, hope, disappointment and joy. Sometimes I think the journey through it all is the destination and, to me, somewhere in between, the sometimes elusive Peace of Mind.

So this month I'm offering Peace of Mind as our theme, that in our calling, conjuring and heartfelt requests for things ordinary and grand, for health, success, inspiration and cleansing, that all who join me in doing so enter the flow. The Stream, Our place of the un-manifested where all possibilities lay waiting for our call.




I give sincere props to our First Leader In Prayers, I Have A Dream, for the perfect words to conclude.

May all who come here seeking peace find it;
May all who come here seeking compassion find it;
May all who come here seeking wisdom find it;
May all who come here seeking healing find it;
May all who come here seeking strength find it;
May all who come here seeking prosperity find it;
May all who come here seeking joy find it.

(So be it; so be it; so be it.)

~*~ This or something better for the highest good of all involved ~*~

4. Dear Missy Vixen
I pray that Grandmother is comfortable. I pray for an easy recovery or a smooth transition, whatever is for the highest good. I pray that during this time, the intensity of your family's love expresses itself in meaningful and positive ways and grows even deeper. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

7. Thank you so much to everyone here
Grandma is unchanged. To be completely honest, I hoped that she would pass last night in her sleep, just because I don't want her to suffer. I don't ever want her to leave, but I know she would never want to live the way things are right now. I'm also thinking about our grandpa. I called the social worker at the hospital for some advice this morning on things I can do for him that might help right now.

I wish everyone on ASAH could meet Grandma. She has been a huge influence in my life. Obviously, she's my grandma by marriage, but she gave me the biggest compliment I have ever had: She said she never thought she would have a grandchild she could relate to in her life. It's not that she doesn't love everyone else; it's that she and I talk about things that mean something to us, besides the usual family conversations. She is a strong personality, a huge liberal, and worked all her life to instill those values in her children and grandchildren.

Again, thank you so much for your good thoughts and your prayers. I believe I've said everything I had to say, but if I get a chance over the next few days, I will visit and tell her that if she has to go, I know I'll see her again.

Thank you to everyone here for making a refuge and a supportive environment for all.

:hug:
:loveya:

9. Thank you, Missy Vixen for sharing that.
In the meantime, I hope Grandma is resting comfortably.
I thank you for sharing how you are handling this time of unknowing and of your Grandmother's life filled with the obvious love she will leave behind and take with her.
Though he has made his decision, I will pray for your Grandfather as well, that he gets all the help that he needs.
Bless you and everyone in your family :hug:

14. What a wonderful gift to have her in your life, MV.
May all who love her be comforted, and, if it is her time to leave this dimension, I ask that she transition and find her way to the other side quickly and easily. May you continue to feel your connection to her regardless of whether she's physically here or not. Much love and light to your grandpa. :hug::hug:

30. Bless you and your family!
I pray for the best outcome for all of you. I had a connection with one of my Grandmothers, and I miss her still after 12 years since her passing, but in the end she had suffered a long time and her transition to a better state was a relief.

I have her old cast iron dutch oven and it will always be my favorite cooking utensil. I hope you have something of hers that you can cherish. Every time I cook something in it I wonder if "Memmy" would like this dish.

5. Absolutely lovely opening, Blue!
By the way, you probably didn't mean to include the rest of the playlist with the first song, but it really helps to set the mood. I am really enjoying listening to the rest of the music. It is certainly helping my peace of mind. :hug:

Thank you so much for the beauty that you bring into the world whether through actions or simply as part of your being here on Earth right here -- right now.

Beautiful energy for this thread. :loveya:

I'm so glad that the music is setting a nice flow for you right now :) :hug:
Right now, I am too choked up by your kind words. All I can is that you've set the example for the Prayer Thread and we all have and will continue to honor it in the spirit that you presented it month after month :loveya:

11. If anyone can, please join me in sending
a call-out to the Universe to end the nightmare the family of a missing girl in my county is going through. One way or another, I know it will be resolved and I pray for a positive outcome. The child's mother spoke of fear she never imagined could exist in her being.

I'm having a hard time centering on this and sure could use some help today. Thank you!

I know some think that prayer is doing something while really doing nothing. But I can't imagine getting through past ordeals without the well wishes from people near and far that wasinvaluable for pressing on and through it. Thanks :hug:

Hard to believe sometimes that all of it is for a reason. But the hugs of comfort for others in the meantime is so appreciated. I will extend my prayer to the family in your county, as well. Thanks :hug:

19. Wow! The child's name is Chelsea King.
She lives in Poway, is a long distance athlete and a good person who friends and family say would never-ever run away.

They've arrested a man, a registered child molester and police are not saying right now, but I feel Chelsea is gone.

I would really like to be able to send on comfort to the her and family.
Thanks a lot Wyn :hug:

to thank a community so soon after devastating news. There her dad was sincerely thanking people for their prayers and support And comforting others. They seem to be an amazing family.

23. Since I am at the end of my wits, please send some positive vibes...
We have so far survived our ordeal, and I feel like having been able to dance on the tightrope this entire time.
I am waiting to hear whether a loan will materialize by tomorrow. If not, no car no and no roof. :(

Thanks

27. I surely will.
Dear Source of Love and Life who brings abundance to all, Please bring prosperity to Rumpel now. We ask that Rumpel's basic need of a loan be granted for necessary transportation and shelter from the elements.

Beyond the material needs, please remove the tension of Rumpel balancing on a tightrope, that no matter what comes tomorrow, supply more inspiration and resourcefulness to easily create stability in all areas of Rumpel's life.

Thank you!

29. I want to thank everyone!
I want to thank everyone at ASAH for all the light sent me and my family over the past month +. I had my hernia surgery yesterday and everything went great! I now can recommend a good Reiki session prior to surgery because I really feel like it helped me tremendously. And my Dad continues to slowly improve and was moved to the rehab part of the hospital so he can build up strength before returning home. My husband seems to also be on the mend. I have a huge dose of gratitude because this winter has been hard but the outcomes are good so far. I felt like there was a presence, or more than one, with me when I went in for surgery yesterday. It was minor surgery but the first time I had had real surgery in my life. It was also unusual that I didn't feel fear.

Thanks again to everyone here. Contact with kind people helps me grow spiritually. One reason I don't even go to the argumentative parts of DU now.

33. Wow, GTRO! This is a good time for a prayer of thanks!
Dear Source of Love and Life who brings abundance to all, We thank you for our many blessings, from the breath of life, to our loved ones, families, friends; our physical comforts, homes and jobs; and to the food we eat. We are giving thanks, as Get The Red Out has done this morning, because it is in gratitude and love that we pray for the removal of pain, misery, and suffering from the myriad of sentient beings throughout the universe.

In our thanks for our health, abundance, knowledge and opportunities for spiritual growth, please continue to guide us in reaching out to other living beings and share in what ever way we can, as together we are One. And so it is.


:hug: Thank you, Get The Red Out for sharing such wonderful news upon news :grouphug:





Note: This prayer was written by Rev. H. Heinz. I've revised it and used it over the years when as Salvador Dali said, "There are some days when I think I am going to die from an overdose of satisfaction."

34. Two requests, one moderate, one minor
Edited on Wed Mar-03-10 03:03 PM by MorningGlow
Hi all! Can we send some light to one of the MG kittehs, my familiar? Her breath really smells and she's drooling a tiny bit--I think she has a bad tooth. Going to try to get her in to the vet soon to make sure she doesn't have an infection.

Also, this may sound really silly, but can we get some energy going for a Cub Scout outing? MG Jr. and his group are supposed to tour a radio or TV station, so naturally I contacted my old workplace--only to find out that they're not doing tours anymore (the woman who always did them retired and they never replaced her), unless a friend on staff agrees to lead it. I called and e-mailed my former coworker and asked him if he would do it. I thought he'd agree, since he's big into scouting, but he hasn't called me back. I think he just wants to be a dick about it because he and I weren't exactly the best of buds when I worked there. (Nice scouting values, huh? :eyes: ) Anyway, if we could get him to let go of the old grudge and scrounge up some compassion for some itty bitty Tiger Cubs, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks! :hi:

And, as always, sending light for all requests on this thread, previous and to come.

36. I sure will, MG.
Dear Source of Love and Light, creator of all living creatures who has allowed us share this world with our animal companions, please comfort and ease any pain MorningGlow's kitten is feeling and give her extra attention now so she'll know that she is a well-loved member of the family and the world. And please guide MorningGlow and her vet for kitten to have a quick and full recovery.

Dear Source, as MorningGlow has moved beyond the conflict of a former workplace, we ask that the heart of a former co-worker be touched and moved, not in her name but that of her child and his Scouting buddies, for him to remember that he was once a Cub Scout and empathize knowing that his decision could provide an experience that could help positively shape the boys' future.

38. I'm going to need another Miracle!
I may lose my home for outstanding property taxes that I cannot pay. I have until March 15th to come up with the total amnt. due or it's being turned over to a Marshall. I'm going to speak to the tax collector in the AM to se if I can talk them into a "reprieve" if I promise to make monthly payments of at least $300.00 (which is going to be very tight for me) It wouldn't be so difficult if I wasn't so behind in everything else. It's been a rough winter for me financially and physically as you all know. Without divine intervention from the Universe, I am resigned to hopefully getting into Sr. Housing on an emergency basis. That...or living in my car. Of course I will have to surrender my animals to the local shelter............all this and I'm still not smoking. I'm so ashamed of myself for letting things get this bad, and I knew it was coming eventually. I am looking to you guys for strength to help me get through this. I can't maintain this house and property for another summer anyhow. Too much needs work I can't do anymore. Luv to all...JA

39. Absolutely, JA.
Dear Source of infinite possibilities, we come on behalf of JanusAscending who has endured so much during this past year but is Always willing to share her light and send her love to all of us no matter what her struggles are. We boldly ask for the presence of Spirit now more than ever to lift her up and fill her with grace, easily allowing her light to connect with the inner light of the tax collector who will work to help JA keep her home for as long as she desires.

Please do not delay, we require this blessing Now in her life.

72. I am in absolute awe....
at the immediate 'answer' to my plea! I'm sorry I didn't get back sooner, but the stress is taking it's toll on my lower back, so I'm not at the computer desk too often. There is a little back(no pun intended) story to my situation, and my reaction to it. As some of you may recall, during the Nov. elections for my town this year, I nearly threw two Repukes running for Selectman off of my porch for daring to show their faces to me, knowing that I was a member of the Dem. Town Comm. My after thought was that I prayed they didn't get into office!! Well....need I say they did?!! the whole town has turned red this year. I thought "oh, oh, my goose is cooked now"!! When I got the DEMAND notice for my taxes, I was especially fearful that my actions were going to come back and bite me in the ass!! I couldn't have been more wrong. When I called the tax collector the next AM after my request for intervention, I could "hear" the smile in her voice as I explained my situation. She was more than willing to work with me, and said as long as I can send regular monthly payments (no matter how much) I would be safe from further proceedings!!! I just put a check in the mail for $25.00 for this month, and will endeavor to send more each month to get the bill down and give me time to make more rational decisions regarding the status of my living here!! I want to thank you all for your amazing support, and powerful prayers. They indeed have been answered once again, and Universe and Source or God whatever you prefer to call it, have come through for me again! When will I ever learn??? Bless you all...my Angels!!O8) :grouphug: :loveya: JA

50. We never really know for sure what the best outcome is.
JA, I'm asking for the Universe to help make manifest the perfect outcome for you in this situation. Short-term, I'm asking that you be given what you need to comfortably be able to make whatever changes you ultimately need to make -- that things flow smoothly and easily for you so that you can see the divine intervention that is occurring on your behalf to allow you to take comfort in knowing that everything will be OK in the end. (This or something better for the highest good of all involved.)

You should be so proud of yourself for remaining cigarette-free.

45. Healing light for my friend, Mavis, in Southern Oregon. Her cancer returned,
Edited on Thu Mar-04-10 04:15 AM by BlueIris
(4th recurrence) and she had to have surgery last month. We just found out, because, as she has moved into the senior care center, her communication with us has been patchy. On the bright side, after the surgery, the constant pain she had been having went away (was probably cancer related) and she hasn't used narcotics in a month. On the downside, it was the 4th recurrence. Statistically speaking--that is not good.

My friend, Joe, is having a rough time of it. He's in California. Anyone who wants to send light should.

58. Please send Light for confidence & abundance...BIG MEETING
I have a lunch date with the Director of the Green Coalition with the Chamber of Commerce to discuss my ideas about green and eco-tourism here in Tahoe. The publication I have always wanted to create could be a reaity!

What's even cooler is that the idea started out so small potatoes and now, if I get the Chamber behind me I could realy make it the success that I envisioned!

This has been my vision for about 7 years...though probably longer, because I have always wanted to be my own editor & publisher ;)

PLEEESE pray for me to have the articulate words I need to make this come forth, let this man be *already* onboard and willing to create this project, let me generae the freelance income I have always dreamed of - (no more need for welfare or HUD housing!)

I *CAN* Have a successful career as a freelancer, really!

Thanks in advance for the Love & Light :grouphug: You guys are such a wonderful help!

(gotta run and get my face on, pick clothes, etc..lol)

Dear Source of Love and Life who brings abundance to all, We thank you for our many blessings, from the breath of life, to our loved ones, families, friends; our physical comforts, homes and jobs; and to the food we eat. We are giving thanks because it is in gratitude and love that we pray for the removal of pain, misery, and suffering from the myriad of sentient beings throughout the universe.

In our thanks for our health, abundance, knowledge and opportunities for spiritual growth, please continue to guide us in reaching out to other living beings and share in what ever way we can, as together we are One. And so it is. Amen, Y'all :grouphug:

78. Prayers for my mom....

I'm truly not sure what to pray for, other than That Which is for Her Highest Good.

She has been beyond depressed ever since my dad passed away very suddenly nearly three years ago. When I think it can't get worse, it does. :( She is often actively suicidal. We've tried everything -- every obvious and even obscure paths to get help for her, but the bottom line is that she doesn't WANT to feel better.

We talk about it frequently, and I told her I certainly empathize with her feeling that if she lets go of the pain, she lets go of dad. Anyone who has been through the grief process recognizes when we come to identify with the grief so much it is a part of us and we don't want to let it go.

Still, she isn't just afraid of letting it go, she truly doesn't want to. She doesn't want to be here, she doesn't want to FEEL better.

The thing is, she doesn't know how to do much of anything on her own. Dad did EVERYTHING (no, he didn't do her nor any of us any favors in the long run, but he spoiled her completely throughout their 40 years together). Without him to decide how she should handle this, she is lost. I've encouraged her to imagine what he would tell her -- and she knows what he would tell her, which is to dust herself off and get on with the business of life...that she can DO it.

She doesn't want to. And I don't know how to help or even respond any more. I do think it would be a blessing if she were to pass on, to be with my dad, but the fact that she is essentially in good health makes me think she has more to do here after all. With the anniversary of his death approaching, the suicide topic will most definitely be front and center.

Thanks in advance for any loving vibes you can send toward the situation. :)

Maybe you could contact the Council on Aging in your area to see if there are resouces that might help your Mother learn to become independent. I'll bet there are other women in her situation who might be able to guide her and provide support. Keep us posted, dear friend. :hug:

81. Thanks so much, japple :)

We've tried various groups. She has no interest. She'll say she will do it (but she is really doing it for US, not for herself), she'll attend one session or one meeting or whatever, and that's that.

She doesn't want to feel better or do better or be better. She truly doesn't. Yet I'm not sure she is comfortable taking her own life. My dad and his side of the family are Catholic, and they have drummed into my mom's head that he would never forgive her if she took her own life and she wouldn't be able to be with him in the afterlife if she left that way. I don't like that they did that. She and I speak of it openly. I want her to have the freedom to do so -- and I don't judge those considering this option.

Of course, my preference is that all suffering and pain to that extent would disappear from our human experience so people wouldn't ever think of leaving in this way.....

82. Absolutely, OneGrassRoot.
Dear Source of Infinite Peace and Comfort, we gather together to magnify the Light we are all sending to enter the heart of OGR's Mom, traveling alone in a marathon of grief, we ask that our Light finds an opening no matter how small and is allowed to flow in, to join with hers and grow. We ask knowing that our prayer may not be enough to displace grief but boldly ask that our light illuminates a place where she can store it.

Now more than ever and for the long-term, we are sending Peace to flow like a river through her being to embrace Life to its fullest and become whole. Amen.

92. I soooooooooo understand your Mom's condition.
I'm "going through it" myself. Send her to live with me, and we can share each other's "pity parties"!! I would be closer to resolving my empty feelings if I were in better health, as she seems to be. I really want to 'be in love' again, and to have a helpmate who will "have my back"!! Unlike her...I was always independent(only child)and able to do for myself. Now that I don't feel well, I'd love for someone to do for me! I can empathize with what she's feeling tho', and I know my kids would understand what it's doing to you. They keep trying to push me into doing things for my own good,....but I refuse to be pushed. The more I feel pushed, the more I push back. That's just my nature (Capi?) The best we can all do for her and you is send the light and pray that it manages to 'squeeeze' into the dark corners of her soul and multiply!! I will keep her in my prayers, and if you think it will help her....share my message with her! I think you once said she and I were about the same age? Much LUV to you and her, from one who is also struggling with this. JA:pals: :loveya:

93. ...

:hug: :pals: :loveya:

You guys feel so different to me -- you and my mom -- though I recognize the pain you're both in. She's 66.

Physically not feeling well over a long period of time as you have endured wears away at the soul. You've been dealing with this for a while, JA. If you physically felt better, my sense is that you would want to at least try to embrace living...try to seek a place of inner peace. Even with your challenges, I sense you are in a space to reach out and do what you can to feel better about life. You're here. ;)

I do hope you feel better soon; I pray for that each day. I'm sure we all do here in this family.

I understand about the "pushing" thing, too, and it's why I'm careful not to push. I fully see one has to make these decisions on their own or, if they have a certain personality type, give permission TO push them. ;)

This human thing can be so very, very hard at times.

:hug:

91. That is rough. I wish her and your family all the best in helping her to learn to cope.
I will think good thoughts about this situation whenever I can. Good luck.

101. Ughhh............
So, this morning my proceeds to tell me that the only reason she isn't killing herself and is "hanging around" is to see how the projects I've worked on for years (decades, really) play out.

That's a weird kind of pressure I'm not comfortable taking on. :(

Just sharing, venting, whatever...... :shrug:

It's a hectic day, so I'll send everyone hugs from here....

95. Hey all
Haven't been posting much of late but regularly lurk and send good vibes whenever I can.

Luv to you all.

I have an opportunity to align myself with a healing center that is only about 20 miles away. A client told me about it and I'm reading for the owner this morning during a Mars station. e-gads

Could use some good vibes.

My confidence has not been great having had Saturn conjunct 7 points in my chart including my ruling planet over recent years and I'm really nervous about doing this because of how highly credentialled those affliliated with the center are.

I used to have far more moxie and could bedazzle all sorts of brainiacs. Not sure I still can do so.

Like I always have said to clients (who are mostly women,) "Saturn is the archetypal authority figure and no matter how old you are, its influence always feels as though with pointed index finger its saying. . ."*Young lady*. . .This is what you're not. . .this is what you're not,. . . this is what you're not. " The upside is that it miraculously distills all the extraneous BS related to self image down to one's core essense.

This lady doesn't have a birth time so I'll have to rely largely on the cards.

We made the appointment for the time when Mars is stationary. I sorta wanted to reschedule. Then I read about this. . .

The healing center is sponsoring a workshop on Saturday with a writing coach who has phenomenally great energy.

My knees have been knocking together ever since I saw her website and youtubes.

It's an enormous challenge and cut me to the quick.

yikes

best to you all

you a huge blast of comforting energy (seeing you surrounded in a pale peach-colored mist). Asking the Universe to restore your confidence and to give you a little kick in the pants as well for underestimating yourself. Just be your wonderful, wise self and you'll do just fine.

Love and hugs to you dear friend. :hug:

98. Relax. I'm sure you are more credentialed than anybody there.
Though I feel you on the Mars station factor. I purposely scheduled something so it would at least be post-Mars Rx and I'm...not sure it's going to work out.

109. Thanks for all of your support upthread.
You are all the best.

The reading could not have gone better.

The proprietor is fantastic and she's done a amazingly impressive job with the place.

In the bowels of an abandoned textile town, she's made an incredibly wonderful sanctuary, where folks need healing the most. The energy of the place could not be clearer.

I am so thrilled and humbled to have been blessed with this opportunity.

The way I dealt with the Mars station was that we didn't nail anything down in absolution. We just mutually agreed that we liked each other enormously and intented to work together very soon and were on the same page.

My mantra has always been that "I do better one on one."

I don't like to preach. I like to interact.

I had reiterated my mantra to he when she and I first spoke.

Then the thought occurred to me, that I could easily do an astro Q & A, 'cause I've been so-o-o bereft of interaction during my most recent Saturnine hermitage.

So I vaguely clarified that point to her and we'll set something up over the next month or so.

Thanks again for all of your kind words and spiritual support.

:loveya: & :grouphug:

105. I hurt my thigh playing tug-of-war with my dog.
I was tugging back, and fell backward onto the pointy edge of a box.

It's just bruised, and yes, I iced it and did Celebration's Medi show on YouTube, but it someone wanted to send along extra healing energy, I would love that. It's my left thigh. Thanks in advance.

107. I feel like I'm suffocating and slowly dying inside...
Edited on Wed Mar-10-10 08:18 PM by Blue_Roses
My husband lost his job about a month ago because of a disagreement with a supervisor. While my husband was in the right with his frustration and anger, his way of handling it was ALL wrong. Needless to say, he's no longer working there. He says he "didn't quit" and they say they "didn't fire him." I know, I know, :wtf: He is/was a truck driver for a company who transports fine art across the country. He was a "senior" driver and had been with the company a while. He's very dependable and a perfectionist with his job (wish he was this way with home projects!). At one of their stops--a very high scale museum--one of the pictures that they wrapped got cracked. The lady at the museum said it was the fault of the company so my husband was docked almost $400 dollars out of his paycheck. (and the guy who is his junior driver too) As if this wasn't enough to send my husband through the roof, he found out about his checked being docked by another driver--not his supervisor. I guess his supervisor was just going to let him open his check and see it rather than tell him.

So this was the last straw--my husband blew up at him. He said he would no longer "drive on long hauls" (there are in-town jobs) so his supervisor took this as he was quitting. He handed in his uniform and that was it. Since then, he has been looking for another job to no avail. I have helped him update his resume and other things to get him moving forward, but nothing is working. Honestly--I AM SO DAMN MAD! I haven't vented to anyone except here now. I understand his anger, but the whole thing was not handled well. Now, come to find out, he was told through a friend who works there, that they now KNOW he wasn't responsible for the broken picture. (more long story) I told him to try to smooth things over with his supervisor, especially since he had just been put on blood pressure medicine that week, but he said, "I will not kiss their ass." :argh:

So, here we are--bills coming in, but no money. He's not eligible for unemployment and he doesn't want to do that anyway. I am working on my teacher certification and have to take my test, so I'm in "transition." My husband knew this and he quit this job anyway. Pride cometh before the fall right? Well, we're falling...and our kids are sucked in this vortex of stupidity too. I can't even concentrate on what I need to be doing.

I have been so depressed that I feel like I'm just dying inside. This is one of those situations that I truly feel helpless. I can only be patient and supportive for so long. Today I told him that he has to resolve the past before he can move on--whatever that is--or I'M moving on--without him.

In the meantime, positive thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you for letting me vent.

I hope you know of systemic usage of lysine

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=lysine+supplements&aq=3&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=lysine+

and topical usage of sting stop. The latter works like a charm on the topically infected areas.

I cured my kid with one application of it when he had chicken pox many years ago.

I hsve two people in my life who have shingles internal and even a Doc knew and confirmed the efficacy of lysine.

131. Hi, Y'all.
I'm asking for prayers that I can't muster up for my brother and family in Maryland. I'm so far away and feel so helpless in whatever I do, that I can't seem to step out of myself to even pray for him. What a big sister, huh?

He really, really needs a good lawyer in a police brutality and harassment ordeal. He is not a criminal, a computer networking person with a wife whose a grade school teacher, and three kids, and basically a good life until this.

The latest happened yesterday after he had to file his case at the courthouse, in the parking lot going to his car.

It's just maddening that lawyer after lawyer is rejecting this case. We really need one brave enough and with time enough to handle this case.

Please send them vibes and me vibes enough not to lose heart.

Thanks!

I absolutely send prayers on behalf of your brother, his wife and children, and your entire family. I pray that he holds on to his truth and let this gives him strength, knowing he has the love and support of many.

I am so sorry he is going through this, KoB. I hope someone will see this plea and will know of an attorney who can help. Without giving details, perhaps posting this question at the main forum would be worthwhile, simply in the hopes of getting a connection to a progressive attorney who is open to taking on cases such as these?

For now, I send love, light, and abundant hugs of support to your brother and entire family.

146. Bless him
That's just horrible. Frightening how easily a decent person can become an object for authority to abuse.

Prayers for him and your whole family.

147. Some healing and protective light for kitteh?
Jasmine, my familiar, just got back from a visit to the vet--she had an enormous abscess in her mouth, surrounding a giant chunk of plaque (honestly, when the vet got it out, I thought it was a tooth). Antibiotics while the abscess drains, but she has to have dental surgery next Wednesday. The vet said the worst-case scenario is that the abscess is really a growth/tumor that they might have to biopsy, but she doubts that's what it is, as her other gums are inflamed as well. Still, some nifty ASAH white light to ensure that my sweet little kitteh only has a couple of bad toofies that need to be pulled can't hurt, right? :)

This is her "leave me alone I just got back from the vet and I'm traumatized and my mouf hurts" face:


On another note, LOOKIT this thread! And the month isn't even half over yet! That so many people need help = sad, but that so many people can come here for help = good--nay, wonderful!

149. Continued Light for Jasmine.
Dear Source of Love and Light, creator of all living creatures who has allowed us share this world with our animal companions, We are very grateful for the good news of Jasmine's progress. We gather to ask for more comfort to ease any pain that she is feeling in this next hurdle, as Morning Glow and her vet continue their gentle and thorough care for Jasmine's quick and full recovery.




*And it's really comforting to see others joining in no matter what their troubles. :grouphug:

I've had kittehs with dental problems in the past and it's amazing how much pain they endure before it becomes apparent to their humans. Hope your Jasmine feels better soon and heals quickly. Comfort and cheers to you, dear MG.

I'm sure she says "t'anks"!

And thanks to everyone for the good wishes and the light--she is feeling better for now. She's been "grrr"ing at us for shoving antibiotics down her froat, but we just can't take her seriously because we know what a mush she really is. ;)

Will check in later in the week for more light for her dental surgery. I know it's routine for vets, but animals and anesthesia gives me pause. :(

152. So, my writing project...crashed and burned.
I didn't go down without a fight, but I've basically given up finishing it in time for this...thing.

I'm okay with it, I'm just pissed that I wasted so much energy on this effort.

Sending "untangling light," please.

I'm sorry, BlueIris. The feeling of having wasted time and energy sucks, to put it bluntly. Hopefully you'll be able to glean something from the effort and use it in the future.

I'll join you in the "untangling" process, wishing for you what you wish for yourself.

156. Untangling light.
I'm not too sure what untangling light is, BlueIris.

But I am asking Source to remove the energy and space that anger is trying to take hold of within you, and fill you with grace instead, helping you to better understand the reason(s) behind putting off something that moves you. :hug: :hug:


P.S. In your first request I was reminded of St. Expeditus, a Roman soldier convert, who we as kids thought was totally made up - I still do :eyes:
His symbols, a cross held up with the Latin word for today and at his feet the Latin cras meaning tomorrow. I'm just thinking that procrastination is such a pain that there is even a saint for it :hug: :hug:

Words again. I need the right words.

I am going to get to talk to the Scorpio tonight about our lack of a relationship. I have no idea what he is going to say to me. I just hope that whatever it is, it's amicable and that I keep my emotions in check, that I am able to convey my feelings in a rational and level-headed manner, and that I have peace and/or closure.

I'm a little worried about it happening during this New Moon, but I've wanted and needed this for weeks, so...Aaaaaa!!!! I'm a nervous wreck!! :)

178. Hey and my horoscope for tomorrow says
The Sun and Moon come together to form a New Moon in your communication sector, a very smart, savvy and articulate part of your chart. This makes this an auspicious day for talks, discussions, decisions and for all communications, especially those geared towards the future, new opportunities and new beginnings. This is a day to be looking to the future not for rehashing the past, making this a day for drawing a line in the sand.

171. Dearest crikkett....

May you find the peace of mind you seek, the rest that eludes you, and a sense of comfort, safety and protection that All Is Well.

Is there a mantra or prayer you can focus on as you try to sleep? For me, when I'm in distress, there is something so comforting about The Lord's Prayer. It was the first prayer I learned as a young child, and while I don't follow a particular religious path, the simple recitation of that prayer when I'm in need of calming and reassurance helps every time.

I was told not long ago that there's something in the cadence of that prayer...something about the vibration itself when said aloud...that is helpful in some way. I think repetition of any saying or prayer is helpful in calming the mind.

I hope you sleep soundly and awaken refreshed and renewed.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I know at bedtime, it helps me to immediately turn off my brain when I lay my head on the pillow and only concentrate on breathing. If I start ruminating, I can't sleep.

I hope you are able to find your focus at work and get some much needed sleep. :hug:

I'm thinking of calling a holistic vet first (to get her rates and/or advice) since she sometimes does weekend work at the same vet clinic. Maybe she could help more. Because one of my biggest concerns is that they'll just give Kipper more of the steroids they've given him in the past to get his appetite and energy back up. I have major reservations about that medication (Prednisone) and would just as soon not put him (and myself) through that again.

202. I just talked to the holistic vet
but she's out of the state at the moment. She recommended two other vets, but I think I'm still going to my regular vet anyway. One of the other ones does acupuncture, too, but requires a long evaluation exam before any work is done (I think; they're going to call me back to discuss it further.) I'll just keep her name available for future visits or supplemental work. The other one does housecalls, too, but is quite a distance away from here.

199. Oh, sweet boy.
Here's an adaptation of a prayer for Archangels' help I use to say for my beloved Peggy when I had him.

Please set the guiding light of Uriel before Kipper-kat to light his way to health. Please set Michael to the right to aid and protect him. Please set Gabriel to the left for clarity and to aid him in expressing his truth. Please set Raphael behind him to keep, make him strong, healthy, and well.

And so it is.


P.S. Kipper-kat and MorningGlow's Jasmine should hang out - when they're well, of course :)

200. That's a lovely prayer. Thank you KoB!
:hug: :hug: :hug:

I just called the holistic vet and left a message. If she doesn't call back by noon, I'm calling my regular vet.

204. I think Kipper-Kat and Jasmine would get along famously
Good news from our vet--Jasmine did fine in her dental surgery. One tooth fell out of its own accord and they took out a second. No need for a biopsy of the abscess--there's no growth or tumor. She's in recovery now and I can pick her up in about an hour. So thanks all for the light for her surgery! :hi:

Plus, a mere 12 hours after I did BanzaiBonnie's meditaiton and expressed a concern about finances, the vet tech handed me the releases and the estimate to sign when I was dropping Jasmine off, then said, "Oh wait. Your estimate is wrong. It doesn't have the discount." What discount? Turns out the vet's office gives about 20 percent off in February for dental surgery, but for some reason she gave it to me in mid-March. Well all right! :D

205. That is great news on the abscess!
And the discount :D

My vet gave me a discount, too, by classifying Kipper as "senior" (I think he's a little over 9 yrs.) Still several hundred and I won't know the results of the bloodwork until tomorrow. They were having some trouble with their blood analyzer, so I think that might have added to the discount.

There were several possibilities for his illness, one being a possibility of diabetes onset. The other possible was related to his previous digestive problems that were never easy to diagnose. The vet calls his condition "weird" :P

212. "Weird"--is that technical terminology?
:rofl:

Doncha just love it when a feline's curious makeup refuses definition? Typical...

Well, still sending energy that it's something minor. My doggie had a serious case of diabetes and even so he lived quite a few years more with it, the last several blind, quite happily.

213. It is proper terminology so long as the vet utters it with exasperation!
:P

Then again, the way of the wyrd likes to follow me around in my life, seemingly so for computer issues. You know the kind, where the tech actually says to you, point blank: "I've never encountered this problem in all 33 years of my computer-repair career! That'll be $400 please." You'd think if they'd never seen it before they'd do it for free or a really deep discount ;)

I have no idea what it's like to care for a diabetic animal, so I sincerely hope that's not it. I would guess at the least he'd get a special diet in addition to daily medication for life...

Kipper's at my feet, following me around even more than normal, still yowling at me whenever I move, like I'm going to leave him or something. I swear, his head will fly off the next time I say "treats?" in his fervor to snap his head around and stare at me, wide-eyed :rofl:

211. At the moment he's being annoyingly affectionate.
Probably thinking it will prevent me from taking him back to the vet ever again :rofl:

I thank you for the healing vibes and here's another pic of him:



Oh, there's a toothpick there for scale :P

215. ~*~*~Update~*~*~
The vet just called and they think it's just a minor urinary infection. I have to give him antibiotics for the next week and a half and only hope I can get him to take the pill pockets (he ate the one the vet gave, so hopefully he'll do the same with me...) They also want me to just keep watch on him in case anything changes and let them know.

No diabetes or anything "weird" :D

So, thanks to all of y'all that sent your energy :hug: :hug: :hug:
He may still need some from time to time, but the scary stuff is over :)

216. That's such good news, Kentauros!
Kipper-kat is very lucky to have you as his person. I hope he keeps up his out-pour of affection when he has to take his pill :rofl:

217. I have discovered something that helps him take his pill: gravy
Yep, the gravy in canned giblet catfood. He'll eat that first and the giblets later. I had given him his pill in quarters earlier today and he scarfed down one of them, leaving the other three licked but not eaten. So, I decided later to mix them into a bowl of his canned food (normally, I give him dry, but I need him to bulk up some more.) I went back after he had worked on it some, and found all the pill pockets gone as well as all of the gravy! :rofl:

I'm going to the pet store tomorrow and see if I can get just gravy :P
His affection is indeed still high as is his whining ;)
