In many parts of Canada today we are celebrating Family Day. Our lives are often filled with busyness; work, chores, meetings and more; how precious to set aside time together as a family!
In my case, my daughter lives on the other side of the country and most of my brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews live far away as well. I cherish the times we do get together in person, over the phone and connect through text messages and mail. My dear family members, I connect to you now heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul and ask your forgiveness for the mistakes I have made that have caused you hurt or harm. I offer my greatest love and gratitude to each of you who have a place in my heart forever. We are one!
I also cherish my soul family, those sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers who live close by and throughout the world. My dear soul family, I connect to you now heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul and ask your forgiveness for the mistakes I have made that have caused you hurt or harm. I offer my greatest love and gratitude to each of you who have a place in my heart forever. We are one!
In this lifetime we each have a finite amount of time to "spend" and to offer one another; what a precious commodity! I am grateful for this opportunity to offer some of my time to send this love letter via the internet and via the "intranet" that requires no technology beyond one heart opening to another. We are one!

Today I take this opportunity to share with you a deep realization that began unfolding during a practice at a recent retreat with many beloved soul brothers and sisters, led by Master Sha and his Worldwide Representatives. We were holding hands in a circle and chanting over and over again the following song:
I love you, you love me, we are one, we are one.
Each of us in turn was invited to suggest a word to exchange with "love" e.g. "forgive" and we would all sing the new phrase.
I forgive you, you forgive me, we are one, we are one
Some beautiful words were shared; "serve", "cherish", "honour", and then came the following: "never left you"
I never left you, you never left me, we are one, we are one
My mind stopped, my heart opened and tears began to fall.
you left me
I realise that this message has been with me for a long time and has, in fact, been the reason that my heart has not opened fully. I honour my heart; and the wisdom of opening at the appropriate time. As a 2 year old given up for adoption, having experienced numerous additional coming and going of people, places and things in this lifetime, it is easy to understand how a heart can close.
This time, as my heart opened, I received healing and new wisdom: when my heart is open, I will no longer feel "you left me," I will instead understand the truth; "we are one;" People come in and out of my life to offer blessings, lessons or an opportunity to serve. Some are part of my life for a short period of time, others for longer. I can keep my heart open, and extend gratitude for whatever that person, place, thing brings; we are forever connected heart to heart; we are one!
You are away from me. There is a window open from my heart to yours. From this window, like the moon I keep sending news secretly.- Rumi
