Let go...

Sometimes, just sometimes
no matter how strong you are,
if you are a man, woman or child
you just want to be held
knowing that when you let go
you will be safe

Sometimes, just sometimes
you need to let go
to find yourself
your strength
your will to life

Come, let me hold you
Let go and feel safe

It is a lonely path and a painful one, but eventually and this I also know, I will emerge like the proverbial Phoen...

It was the second time I had to put a beloved friend to rest and it doesn't get any easier! But I do know he is with his sister now who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year. As I was cleaning the house, washing  his blankets etc today I couldn't help but thinking of life cycles; if you do Numerology you do know that we go through different cycles in life.  Well, since yesterday when I arrived back home I had this sudden feeling that a life cycle was completed, not only because of the passing of my dog.  The last few years for me were all about death, death of my pets, my husband, but also death in a spiritual way, letting go of many thoughts and thought pattern, letting go of many previo...
