Hi Barbara,
I don't know if it's because we're here at grief and we can talk more openly/freely without having to always get back to meds, but you seem really sound and solid and soft. At peace and in touch with something greater. It is so nice to be able to talk with you and hear how in touch you are with what I am in touch with. Animals and spirituality. I think it was said by an Indian (India) that grief brings us closer to God. And with that closeness is such knowing and peace. It really sounds like you are tapped into the spirit world and could also do some work with animals. Maybe that message in the bookstore was not only for me, but you as well.
Callings are important messages from the spirit world. Cathy had a calling and she is doing her duty by heeding it for our sad state as a species and to connect us better to our animals. She is a voice for animals and a healer of humans and pets. I know she gets exhausted and has to really do a lot of clearing and boundary work enegertically. I really honor her for doing this work. Healing work is so needed in the midst of this world. If more people were more into healing and kindness, little Rock would never have had to do that awful fighting and never would've been tortured like that. And I know it's not so easy to just say "let's heal everybody and be healed!". It's a complicated thing and people are in a lot of darkness. That's why when someone has a calling and are tapped into divinity moreso than others, they must offer this to the world at need. If we can manage it, sensitivity is a gift and doesn't have to be a curse. Manage it through healthy boundary lines and energy clearing through our own self knowledge. (getting to know ourselves over the years - how to do our own self care).As sad a time as this has been for me, I also feel in a way blessed by it. I feel like Rock has woken me up and I don't want to go back to sleep again. I want to really heed the messages coming at me and what you said to me about "the gift" is something I've been hearing thru' mylife but due to various *crazy!* periods you know so well about and other things, I've tuned it out. I've been afraid to tap in to my potential. In times like this of grief and loss, I always feel an opening as well. Like now is the time to wake up and acknowledge what I've been hearing - those messages. Life is so precious - through the lines of evolution, it's a wonder we are here at all as humans with our capabilities. I have been given permission (and an order!) by Rock to experience joy and love life. He did with all his big little heart. Even after all that trauma. To be open and raw with grief like this can really shift things if I/we let it. That joy of life is really an expression of "God". that bliss and peace. and a celebration of this manifested life.
