Here With My Family

Two years this November, I left on an “around the world” trip in which I landed in Palm Coast, Florida for this past ten months.  This little home was gifted to me by my family and was a perfect “cocoon” to relax in and just be for a while.  

I am presently in New England.  

First, visiting with Ted and Julie Blickwedel from Providence, Rhode Island.  It was such a significant visit for us all.

Now, I am with Elizabeth and John Reuthe in Vasselboro, Maine, which is just northeast of Portland, Maine.  

Their home is a lovely farm with two horses, Sojourner and Genuine Cool Guy, chickens, two dogs, Jethro and Zoe, a cat named Gracie and over 100 acres of woods to walk in.  We have spent some precious time together.

  

This stop in New England officially completes my around the world trip.  As I look back over what has happened during this time one thing stands out above all else – being with my family. “Family” includes my blood family as well as my spiritual family.  

While in Florida, my sister and her family visited from Canada.  

We were looking at when was the last time we spent more than just a few days together.  It had been a long time.  The feeling of comfort and familiarity was naturally present.  

Now, as I look back over all of the visits into the homes of my spiritual family during these past two years, I realized that there was a similar feeling present.  The common bond was this Heart-felt familiarity even though it may have been the first time I had ever been in their home and met their family. 

What was the source of this familiarity?  What came up was  experienced and seen directly ...

We have all been given the freedom to choose to live from the Heart as our Source or from the world – my family, I am happy to say, has chosen to live “in the world, but not of it,” and has realized how important it is to be present with what is arising to utilize it as an opportunity to receive it all just as it is, realizing that we would miss the boat if we ignored this all-inclusive responsibility.  I had the opportunity to witness this first hand.

I want to acknowledge my family for what and who you ARE and for your total dedication to being, living and sharing what's Real and True.  I am privileged to have you as my family.  This is a vision come true - a vision that was seen some thirty years ago.

Here is an excerpt from a new book “A Journey to Oneness,” by Rasha, that seems to express what is being seen here so perfectly…

You were given the power to make a difference—to the infinite degree. You were given the possibility to know yourself as the Oneness you truly are, not simply to speculate. Not merely to philosophize and theorize. Not only to hash and re-hash linear concepts within the circuitry of your logical mind, but to transcend the inclination to seek that route to understanding the nature of who you Are, and to reach out for the experience of knowing who you Are, with the deep, innermost cry of your very soul. 


All Creation has been waiting in silence—for eternity—for you to come to your senses. Literally. The collective will at your level of being-ness has expressed itself in a way that commanded The Answer—The Answer that has eluded all of you since time began. The Answer that is so very simple you never could have figured it out, not with your brilliant, logical minds. It is only in the infinite silence of your feeling body that you can know The Answer. And once you have it, there is no question.  

Loving you,

Elizabeth
