I close my eyes and spoke to you in a thousand silent ways today..<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"\"Our thousand silent conversations, yes, this too is a way of life.\u00a0 My Dad and Me. When the title of my book was considered I didn’t think it would be so simple but it just is.\u00a0 I was told by someone the title of the book says what it is, nice to hear that.\u00a0 It reminds me of that advert, it does what it says on the tin!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

So, my many silent conversations with my Dad continues.\u00a0 This morning in my journal I wrote to my father along the following lines after reading a chapter in The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne. Dyer.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

As we move through life at times we develop a sense of….<\/p>\r\n

A sense of possibility. How our thoughts can move from our thoughts to reality.\u00a0 \u00a0Like inventions, which we may take for granted. e.g. electricity, mobile phones, Zoom calls, and now the vaccinations to help protect us against the Coronavirus. Usually, vaccinations take years to develop but these vaccinations were developed in less than a year that’s nothing short of a miracle.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

I was watching the T.V. the other day and saw a carpenter with one hand yet he was able to create beautiful furniture.\u00a0 We are surrounded by infinite possibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

This brings me to the next sense of..<\/p>\r\n

A sense of passion helps us move from thought, to a calling or purpose if you will, to intention and finally, manifestation to reality.\u00a0 We all have an active side of infinite possibilities which makes us conquer stumbling blocks.\u00a0 David Attenborough is an inspirational role model in the way he has shown his passion for the planet and all its inhabitants.\u00a0 For years he has relentlessly reminded us of the wonder of this planet we live in and the dangerous conditions we are creating by our sometimes, thoughtless modern way of living.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

A sense of knowing that all is as it should be. A sense of knowing that whatever we choose to be we can be.\u00a0 Mahatma Gandhi said ‘We need to be the change we want to see’.\u00a0 <\/em>When my father passed away I just had to let go, there was a part of me that couldn’t care and there was a part of me that said I have to surrender to let life unfold.\u00a0 My writing comes from my pain and I suppose creativity comes from pain and love. There was in me a sense of knowing that while the road ahead was unknown my father was still holding my hand. A sense of knowing!<\/p>\r\n

A sense of belonging to the universe. A sense of feeling my father is with me in all that I am and what I do.\u00a0 A sense of we are all part of one family, the universal family, our differences are minor as beneath our skin the colour of our blood is the same.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

A sense of awe, as life is a miracle in motion.\u00a0 Even my ability to put the thoughts from my head through my fingers so I can type these words and on this platform,\u00a0 is also a miracle. The notion of infinity that our universe has no beginning and no ending, this in itself is awesome.\u00a0 If we feel a connection with our loved ones that are no more in the physical world then that too is a sense of awe.<\/p>\r\n

A sense of humility that we are a small speck in this vast universe. In the book mentioned above, Dr. Wayne Dyer,\u00a0 refers to a thought provoking quote by Wilhelm Stekel on the subject of humility.\u00a0 “The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A sense of generosity and gratitude. Nature gives regardless. The sun doesn’t take a day off nor does the moon. We are given so much.\u00a0 \u00a0Dr. Dyer helpfully, captures this by referring to John O’Donohue’s book of Celtic wisdom called Anam Cara..<\/em><\/p>\r\n

I believe that our friends among the dead really mind us and look out for us.. we might be able to link up in a very creative way with our friends in the invisible world.\u00a0 We do not need to grieve for the dead. Why should we grieve for them? They are now in a place where there is no more shadow, darkness, loneliness or pain.\u00a0 They are home. They are with God from whom they came.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

We communicate with and feel the presence of those who are not in the physical world through our thousand silent conversations. We communicate with each other sometimes silently, by telepathy and through love.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

This quote may resonate.<\/p>\r\n

Grief is forever. It doesn’t go away; it becomes part of you; step for step, breath for breath.\u00a0\u00a0Jandy Nelson- The Sky is everywhere.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n

If you are reading this because you are missing someone you love dearly, I hope you find some comfort from these words. They are here with you and they can hear you.\u00a0 Now that gives a sense of awe…<\/p>\r\n

Peace be with you.<\/p>\r\n
