Dwell in the Light
the sun by day
moon by night
Sun clouded or bright
Moon, full or only a rim
Moon, full or only a rim
Light, taking myself lightly
not of supreme importance
and at the same time
of utmost importance
being large while appearing small
large of heart, magnanimous
Doing with a light touch
lighting the world and thereby
lightening the spirits of others
*Poem by Isabel Brady Jackson
I've had this poem for awhile, waiting to be published. Why can't I publish it? And then a series of events happened....rewind back a few years when my friend and Tai Chi student, Louise Watson, R. N., passed away....On that day in the Tai Chi class I was teaching , two students and I stayed behind. Silently, a small white feather floated down gently from the ceiling? What? The room we were in had no feathers of any kind. I held out my hand and the feather settled gently into my outstretched palm.
"Louise is here!" someone said.
One of the students told me,
"I saw your friend today , she was standing beside you on your right while you were teaching Tai Chi, and she was practicing too. She's here!"
I asked what the figure looked like, and the student described Louise.
The other student, Dolores, wanted to take the white feather home and keep it with her treasures.
"Oh yes, do!" I answered.
Some time passed. I asked Dolores if she still had the white feather, representing my friend Louise.
"I thought you had it?"
Neither of us had the feather.
"She's vanished!"
** A short time later, the mysterious white feather started popping up in friends' experiences. How can this be? Where are they coming from? Dolores, an artist, and I kept in close touch and shared many smiles and experiences. One time Dolores told me she and her grand daughter were baking chocolate chip cookies together, a home made favorite. The young child patted Dolores' shoulder blades.
"What are you doing?
"Grandma, those are your angel wings~"
Some years later, Dolores passed away....
"She'll be connecting," I said to myself confidently.
Then I checked into Facebook and was "astounded" by what I saw.....photos of feather clouds in the sky! I felt Dolores and Louise near. I was in shock~ and awe....*** Sue Broome, angel communicator, took the amazing "feather light" photos at just the right "time!"
While I received these pictures, Sue pointed out a rectangular pink orb above the sun and a circle turquoise orb in the darker clouds looking downward toward the right side. Sue asked for comments. I answered that the "pink," to me, means unconditional love. If I were mixing this color with paint, it also has "blue" in it, the blue meaning truth and communication. The turquoise color always means to me "Angels" being that a thymus chakra (blue and green mix) lies between the heart (color green) chakra and the blue of the throat Chakra. (Doreen Virtue, Healing with the Angels). The circular shape can mean the most perfect complete shape. (Ted Andrews, The Healer's Manual).
While all this was going, (deep breath), a long distance friend passed away, a person from my early childhood named Iris. "Iris kept a drawing of a Collie you gave her and displayed it with pride in her sewing room...." a relative wrote. Before Iris passed away, and before I got the note, I "saw" a clear full color image of her in my head, so lovely, gentle and beautiful, a wonderful role model for a young child.
Looking up on my wall here in the Art Room.... I see a "butterfly wind chime." She is in my art room near the lake and beach painting she loves....she has the most delicate chime. A while ago, and before all this happened, I named her "Iris."
Years ago I said to Louise, how do you handle it, when your friends and relatives cross over?"
"We celebrate!"
