It was there all along

Funny how the mind thinks that it can protect you by not allowing the pieces of a puzzle to be seen as a whole

Once connected it almost seems incredulous that one could not see it before

It was all there

For many years

It was not hidden from thought as one might suppose

No

It was hidden from meaning

Events seen separately for years

Each creating their own brand of misery

Were a smokescreen

A haze….fog in my brain

To disconnect truth

To prevent

The thinking mind

The feeling heart

The bleeding soul

From feeling the betrayal

The worst kind of betrayal

Blessitude

My healing journey on the continuum of "It's all wrong" to "It's all right!" I love art and the creative process, reading, writing, and playing tennis.

    1. Oh, Val…Thank you so much. Yes, I can feel that you are here and I am so grateful for the gentle and kind support. This was a very incredible healing for me from pain that was buried for so long. As each layer is peeled back we find that what is left can be whole. And I am so grateful! ❤

  6. For some reason the theme song to the Mary Tyler Moore Show runs through my mind and I hear the words “love is all around you” and “you’re going to make it after all”. I encourage you to take a walk and through your stylish hat (metaphorical or not) in the air in celebration because love is all around you and it is all within you and you have made it after all.

    1. Oh, Harlon…such music to my ears!! I love it…I loved that show…and I can remember twirling around our living room…with a hat (real) of course and throwing it in the air!!! Thank you friend for the memory, for the smile, for the love!! The series is close to the end…it will end on Easter morning…not planned that way but there could be a metaphorical connection there 😉 I will be over soon to catch up. Thank you so much for your beautiful support ♡♡

    1. Thanks Steve 🙂 I was afraid at times to post this for sure, but I don’t think of it as courage…if my words could help even one person then I feel it is sooooooo worth it! Thanks for being here…I so appreciate your support ♡

      1. You always have my understanding and support. I want to be here for you in any way I can be.

        I feel the same way as you do. If even one person is helped in some way by what I write, be it spiritual or personal, that’s what matters!

        Lorrie, you have a very nice Easter weekend, and call on me as you want/need to!

        ❤

  10. I’ve thought: why didn’t I see that before? Now I realize the pieces come together when we are ready. I was thinking of the song: “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone…..” It might take some time to adjust to the new view, but the bright sunshiny day and blue skies are the way! https://youtu.be/FscIgtDJFXg

    1. Yes, JoAnne…divine timing 🙂 You will see an amazing example of this at the end of the series on Sunday!! It all still blows my mind a bit…but then I stop and say…of course it is all perfect!! And how much do I love that you had a song in your head too!! I was in 6th grade when that song came out and I can remember my teacher singing it one morning with the radio…it was the first time I had heard it and I instantly loved it!! Can’t hear that song without getting a smile on my face!! Much love to you my friend ♡♡♡ I hope all is super!!

      1. Not to worry, dear heart. Had lots of help and done lots of healing. Some days though, it just creeps up when you aren’t looking. No one goes through unscathed. Still counting my blessings too.
