The So, Good morning.

God morning to you.

Our Lady of Woodstock says some will say that their lives began when they

emerged from their mother's womb but in truth they have only moved from

one belly to another, like walking through a house with many rooms. from the field that circles the smallest of particles to the wall of a cell to a planet that holds its life within itself.

Even that which you call the Cosmos is a wound, fast and measureless unto herself.

So if your object is to leave your mother and go about your business in the world,

that is a failed business in the world.

That is a failed enterprise from the start.

There is no way to outpace one who lives within you and without you,

who stands above you and below you, before you and behind you and walks with you on either side.

I am everywhere at once.

So rest in my arms and learn to trust in my embrace.

To doubt me is to doubt everything.

To fear me is to fear all things but to love me and to take my hand is to walk freely in eternity and to know that no ill can befall you.

So ponder these words and hold them in your heart. This is my guidance for the times ahead.

If you find it hard to hold the love,

some prayer beads.

And for now, know that to be the love,

know that to be her hand, His hand. It could be your grandma's hand. Sometimes for me it's that. And sometimes even that's too much,

holding the beads, holding the words, the prayers,

holding the love.
