  i think the frogs and fishes don't know when the sun will thaw them- only that one day they'll be swimming around in its light again.

  Are you ok Truth, I don't like the sound of this? Take good care of yourself.

• Lucytorial said on Feb 23, 2008....

  Truth, dear... stay safe and well and nourish your soul friend, we all need to regroup and find that space in ourselves.
  
  Thanks for your kind words and the hand you extended to me, can't wait to see you back again.

  Believe it or not, I already left a comment to this.  It must be one of Super Woman's comments because it is invisible.  I'll leave another one and see if this one makes it....

  I came by for a hug from my friend.  Keep your chin up, the spring is coming.
  
  Hugs!

  ah Truth, even the mighty oak draws deep down into its root system in the winter to store up and shore up its strength....in doing so, all of its leaves are shed and its ranches (to the naked eye) seem to be empty. But deep, deep within, is the glory of God and when the time is right, and only God knows when...the magic of this energy begins to re-emerge, first as a tiny bud, then into a smattering of leaves.....then onto the fortified, strong, healthy and tall Mighty Oak.
  Blessed Be your journey...pray for me too, as transformation is never an easy thing. xo, mamie

  I will miss you!

• truthsayer said on Feb 26, 2008....

  Hello polarheart.  Thanks for the concern and the support.  My pond almost froze.  Then, I found a small warm spring feeding my pond.  I stayed by it and waited for the sun.  Of course, it came out again : )  I have been getting warmer and warmer ever since. 
   
  I am trusting that you are feeling much better now, right?  Keep resting even after you feel better. 
   
  U R still in my prayers for all good things : )

• truthsayer said on Feb 26, 2008....

  Hello quietone.  I think the "cold" is over.  The sun always finds me, even when I forget to look up ; )  Warm and rested here.  How are you?
   
  Truth : ) 

• truthsayer said on Feb 26, 2008....

  Hello secret.  I sure didn't know the day or the hour.  I just had to keep believing and pretty soon, I felt the heat again.  I guess it was there all the time.  I just had to remember that the sun shines even when I close my eyes.  It was a sweet rest though.  Thanks friend.
   
  Truth : )

• truthsayer said on Feb 26, 2008....

  You were right mobil.  I didn't like the way I sounded either, let alone the way I felt. 
   
  I appreciate the prayers, by the way.  It's like the Good Lord blessed me with such wonderful friends here, because He knew that I feel things deeply...and that I am often somewhat isolated. 
   
  I needed to spend a few days immersed in prayer and in the Word.  It isn't always easy to do that, you know?  It seems like it is usually easier to 'just keep going', even when we may be swimming in circles.  
   
  I found that my pond wasn't even freezing...I was.  I had to get warm again.  
   
  Where there is no vision, the people perish...you know (Proverbs 29:18a)?  I had to find mine again...and I had to learn to see my dreams as alive again.  I am going to share a few of the dreams that instructed me recently. 
   
  Thank you for checking in on me.  Funny isn't it?  When taking the time to write a one line comment to each other, can sometimes be like a life-line when we are caught in an eddy?
   
  Nice to see you back 2 mobil.
   
  Truth : )   
   
    

• truthsayer said on Feb 26, 2008....

  Hello Lucytorial.  How nice to see that you understand me too.  It isn't always easy to take good care of our soul spaces, is it? 
   
  I cleared some old debris and tidied up my environment a bit.  Then I flexed those spiritual muscles with some prayer and renewed my mind with some good food (the Bible ; )  After a few days of Rest, my little pond looked better and I set my sights on a larger body of water!!! 
   
  Oh my did it feel good to see all of you in here!  Old friends and new friends, all lovely and sweet. 
   
  Thank you Lucy...for extending you hand to me too.  I plan on being blessed by our friendship : )
   
  All is well : )
   
  Bless you Tobi-Lee.

  Hello GrapeKoolaid. 
   
  Funny thing about our feelings.  I felt cold.  I felt like I had stayed too long in a pond that was too shallow.  Like the stillness of the waters allowed the freeze to catch me.  I felt slowed at a molecular level.
   
  If I didn't have the warmth of friends...I suppose I might have been caught in my "hibernation" as polar called it...dormant until spring. 
   
  As it happened, I did not have to wait for my circumstances to change...I found out that glow, that inner fire that cannot go out.  I got warm, from the inside out...and thump!  The icy feelings broke and everything around me thawed.  ; )
   
  Thanks for lookin' in here Grape...and to all of my friends that commented or "read me" in here : )

  Hello fearing!  Well you know how I feel about invisible comments don't you?  I automatically assume that they include double invisible hugs!  With all that you have going on...with all that all of you have going on...I sure appreciate the love in here.  I really needed this fire friends.  Thanks so much.  (((((((((((HUG))))))))))))  That is a cyber-bear-hug...just in case you've never seen one before.  : )
   
  Thank you fearing...all better now...can't wait to tell you and polar all about it.  Yes, Good News does come to those that want it and expect it : )  I rested and prayed and ate Good Food. 
   
  Thank you for everything. 
   
  Blessings,

  Hello Mamie.  Ahhh friend.  You know this from experience.  I can tell.  I heard someone say, just the other day, that the mighty oak tree is the acorn perfected.  It isn't easy being perfected, is it?  We have never asked a tree if it ever had growing pains, have we?  I am praying for you too, because as you said:  "Transformation is never an easy thing."  We need each other.  Your comment made me cry lady.  Thank you for helping the waters to flow through me again.
   
  Blessings friend.  I'll share more later...ok ; )

  Hello pickersplock.  I missed you too.  I saw that you have been a busy blogger lately friend.  Thanks for letting me know that you read me and that you notice when I am "gone".  I'll talk to you soon.  I can listen to things from you tube now too.  I'll have to listen to you ELO clips!
   
  Later pickers ; )

  Well looky whos got some free time!
  
  hello truthsayer  **waving madly**
  
  Its good to see that you are reconnecting with your soul and your spirit and the spirit that runs through your life, you sound calmer somehow, a little.. hmmm well a lot more... eyes open! thats it your eyes are very open, pupils dilated and a smile on your face.
  
  I have an image in my mind and its very lovely, you are very lovely.  Speak soon TS
  

• polarheart said on Feb 27, 2008....

  Truth, I am glad that you are getting warmer and warmer.  I have been praying for you, friend.  You just hang in there!!  Thank you also for your prayers, I am certainly feeling a lot better!

  There is allot of funny things about life Truth, I am glad to see you up and running again. Always take good care of you, hard to spread the good word if you aren't up to snuff.

  hope this finds you basking in its warmth.

• truthsayer said on Feb 28, 2008....

  Well Lucy : )  May I take this opportunity...
   
  to wave wildly back at you too???  : D  Forgive this dopey grin on my face?  ; )
   
  I think the same thing about you though.  I have never forgotten the first time we "met".  I am glad that I can call you "friend".  Seriously though:  You have been on my mind and heart a lot lately.  Thanks for reminding me of so many things, that I have not thought about for a long time...but I need to remember always.  Maybe one day I will be able to explain.
   
  Just thanks TL.
   
  truth
   
  P.S.  I'll write something more uplifting next time.  I know that my blog, "My Brother Mike", probably wasn't what you had in mind when you said "Speak soon TS".  But sometimes, it is the sad or painful things in our lives that actually help us to find out who we are, and who we can be.    

• truthsayer said on Feb 28, 2008....

  I am so relieved to hear that you are feeling 'much better' polarheart.  Where the heck did viruses come from anyway???  ; )  We don't need them...do we?  I am feeling better too.  Thanks for the prayers MissHeart.  It seems to me that praying for others is necessary for our own health.  Like breathing.  Wow...with all the prayers you have said for me...you should be getting really healthy ; )

  Love (((((and hugs))))) to you polar.

• truthsayer said on Feb 28, 2008....

  I did take some time for myself mobil.  Thank you again.  I also asked for my 'teaching dreams' back again...full force.  They always make me feel better.  Not necessarily because the dreams are always 'nice'...but because of the One I get to spend time being with.  I am happiest when I sit at His feet.  Talk about being refreshed ; ) 
   
  Bless you,

  Yes secret...I can feel the sun on my face again.  I can feel the warm glow of friends too.  Thank you secret.  We can help each other while we are here...can't we?  : )
   
  Your friend,
   
  truth

• truthsayer said on Feb 28, 2008....

  Well ed, I am not sure I could explain it all in a way that would make sense to you.  Our frames of reference are somewhat different.  Since I know you have shown an interest in Buddhism, let me try that.  
   
  Everything is connected, right?  So, if everything is connected, is everything turned on?  You know...like 'ready to receive'?  Those are questions you have to ask and answer for yourself.  I have asked and answered them for myself too.  The answer for me, is yes.  I am "on" and "ready to receive".  Why have a radio if all it does is collect dust sitting on the desk? 
   
  Forgive me for choosing such an archaic communication device...but "I saw" the one in my grandparent's basement when I was searching for the words.  I am aware that I can receive 'signals' and I can make sense of them.  I am turned on, and sometimes I am enabled to use an added feature...sometimes I can help others to receive, or to know that they can receive. 
   
  Anyway, that was a round about way of saying that on top of my own troubles, cares, stresses...I sometimes receive signals that help me...sometimes I receive signals that interfere...and sometimes I just need to quiet myself and rest.  No transmissions, no signal relays...ok...now I am tongue in cheek...but it is true.
   
  Sometimes I go into information overload.  It is my responsibility to know what to do when I get like that....no matter where the information is coming from...me, others, circumstances or even from the Lord...I have to slow myself down sometimes to even know what's what.
   
  I had my "dormant days", then got replenished...then I found that obituary for my brother.  I guess I felt that coming too...and I needed to fortify.
   
  I do need to get busy on that book again though.  So in a sense, you were right.  It is high time I got busy working on my writing again.
   
  Forgive me for using your comment...or my answer to your questions to wrap up this omninous sounding blog.  It felt like an ominous time.  As it turned out, it was ominous...in the truest sense of the word.  Finding out my brother had died and that they didn't tell me, and they didn't list me as a living (or dead) family member...yeah, it hurt.  But I know from that old dream, meant for this time of my life, that I really need to get busy.  I need to write and publish.
   
  Bless you ed.
   
  And thanks.
   
  truth
   
  P.S. In case you missed the blog about my brother, it is the one right after this one.

  holy cats--i'm so sorry about your brother, truthsayer--i obviously must have missed it. my deepest condolences.
  
  ed

• truthsayer said on Feb 29, 2008....

  Thank you ed. 
   
  In a sense, I found out about my brother's death, and more.  Since my sister is most likely the one that wrote the obituary...she managed to inform me that I never really existed for them (since my name was completely absent from the list of his "family"). 
   
  It is times like this ed...and anyone else that has asked similar questions about how "faith" shapes one's life...it is times like this that I am so grateful for my faith.  My Lord has promised never to leave me nor forsake me.  He said that He is closer to me than a brother.  And He even sent me a Comforter.  I can feel Him.  I am sustained, cared for, and deeply loved.  
   
  Thank you for your condolences ed.  
   
  I'll always remember him as the big brother that did love me...at least for a while.
   
   
  Blessings to you and yours,
