Letters...

In November 2010 I wrote 3 posts in a series titled "Who Am I", since then I've felt my postings have been a touch scattered and without an overall direction.  In an effort to focus (a bit more) my posts I'm going to start a new series that I am calling "Letters".  I don't yet know how many posts this will include so we can see together.

Today's post is a letter to a friend.  Some of you may read this and think you know who I am writing to.  But, honestly this letter is addressed to "Friend" and not a particular name because it could be a letter to many people.  If it strikes a chord with you than go with it...that is fine by me.

Dear Friend,

I miss you.  There are gaps in my heart as a result of your passing.  Pieces that went with you to wherever it is that you have ended up.  Heaven, reincarnation, dirt, whatever it is that is good and right for you and your soul and being.  I imagine you as a star in the sky, feeling no pain, no worry, and no fear.  Feeling all love and goodness and contentment.  I imagine that you are enjoying yourself as you watch those of us still here and smile.  I imagine you being welcomed by others.  Maybe people that you did not know in this life but who you would have liked.  You all are good to one another, as you were good to me in the time we spent together.  You teach one another as you taught me.  About love, friendship, courage, humor, and grace.  Dear friend I miss you.

With Love,
Elizabeth
