Food for thought
I believe that inside each one of us there lives someone who is this vulnerable, this tender, this delicate, this new, and this beautiful. What do you think? Do you think that’s true?
What if we could see the people around us in the same light that we see this picture? What if we felt this way about ourselves? What if we treated our environment and our relationships with the same tenderness that would treat this little being?
If my mom and dad looked at this picture, they would say that God is the hands and we are the baby (unless we aren’t Christians in which case we will burn in hell)… and I would love to believe that there is a loving “father” God who would hold me this tenderly and gently, in whom I could rest so completely and safely.. How does your image or idea of “God” relate to this picture?
We have a “new” year starting up. What do you think would happen if we treated each new day of this new year with the same reverence and awe that this image inspires?

When my little granddaughter Sydney was born, she weighed in at 1lb 2oz.. and then immediately lost weight. She as small as the baby in the picture – but way more delicate. And when I look at this picture it reminds me of how much I love her.
And I think that if I could just take that feeling of love and apply it to myself, to my projects, to my bills, to my car, to my messy kitchen, to my friends, to my problems, to the lady at the check out counter, to the people I talk to at work.. in other words.. to everyone and everything.. well.. my life would be way better and not suck nearly so much!
I had an interesting experience last night and this image was a part of it, so I thought I’d share.
I woke up in the middle of the night hearing a strange noise that I finally ascertained was coming from my heater. And I started to worry about it a lot.. like what if it broke! Then what would I do. I couldn’t possibly pay for a new heater.. not even repairs on it.. it’s January (of course – the heater always goes out in the winter).
So I started to pray, and as I prayed to my angels, my guides, and to all those in the invisible world who love me, I imagined myself enfolded in those big loving hands. And it felt so good.
Amazingly, I began to feel a lot better. I asked for either my angels and house fairies to fix the heater, or for my new found friend “Money” to come knocking just in time to pay for whatever needed to be paid for.
I then fell into a deep and blissful sleep. It was great. When I woke up, the strange sound was gone. The heater was working fine. And all was well. Isn’t that a great story?
I think if I had used this image and feeling when we were going through that grueling “praying for prosperity” project, my results might have been way better.
So blessings to all.. and thanks to the invisible world and all the beings therein who love me and watch over me.
