Greatest Friend

Greatest Friend: Mist and drizzle for Father’s Day… yet down by the river there were patches of brightness which made the spirit soar. With the river being so low and the onset of algae the water has taken on a distinct green hue, rather than being its familiar beery brown. You would think that the brown colour would be less inviting, but I dont find it so… in fact its the green that has less appeal for me, but perhaps that is because of the incredibly slippery rocks that are present at the moment. Yampy dog discovered this…skidding off a rock I don’t know who was more surprised…her…at not being able to scramble out…or me…thinking that at any mo she was going to get swept downstream. Still after grabbing her and dragging her out she seemed to have a laughing look about her…no harm done.

Ever felt like that? Like you are floundering about stuck and need some help? Especially when emotions are perhaps raw and you are feeling really alone. Friendship is worth its weight in gold and at such times even more so. As long as it is real friendship. True unconditional friendship based on love and care rather than on what can be got out of that dynamic…or hidden agendas. Personally I have found that such friendship is rare…but when you are lucky enough to find such people in your life…who love and value you…for you… and vice versa, then these friendships can be the ‘hand’ that gets you through the slippiest, darkest times of your life.

…HAVING SAID THAT…the greatest friend you can ever meet and the greatest friendship you can ever experience…is that with yourself. You at your core…open, honest, empowered, vulnerable, expressive… connected to your light soul self. This ‘being’ can be there for you too…the rock that you can (and at times have to) anchor yourself to in order to face life’s most difficult challenges. Guess that is one of my main motivations for the work that I do…aiding people to clear the ‘baggage’ and to reconnect to their core empowered selves whereby they can experience freedom and inner strength.

So today…sent a picture of the river to my friend…and sent energy to the ones I miss and to my Father who isn’t around to send a card to this year…

And slid into the water…green as it was…somehow the softness of the drizzling rain seeming soothing and perfect today…

Namaste
