@ Tony — I think Jesus is a wonderful choice. I’m also confident that his answer to you would be that you can’t start again because you don’t need to. I think Jesus would tell you that you are perfect just as you are. I think he’d also tell you that the reason you have to be you will unfold in time. Most of all, I think Jesus would have told you how much you are loved. Be patient with yourself, my friend:~)

Don’t hit me, but I think I’d like it to be Jesus.

I’d look right at him and ask why I had to be me, and could I start again. Or maybe I wouldn’t say anything at all.

I don’t know what he’d want to tell me, but I would hope that he’d sit with me awhile until I felt okay.

Not a fun answer, but as plain speaking as I can muster for now…

@ Chris — The tree being reflected is an Oak Tree. We have tons of them where I live. They are so majestic and OLD. It’s a constant battle in my town to save the old ones…urban growth isn’t always kind to trees, but I will say my town is pretty tough about what can be taken down. We have one super store that had to build it’s parking lot around an old Oak Tree and the tree stands alone, but serves as a constant reminder to anyone driving by that we need to respect and honor these trees. Thanks for your comment:~)

@ SuZen — That’s really cool about your meditations on the boulder by the lake. It sounds like a peaceful and quiet place. I hope you will sit on your boulder and let that healing take place:~)

@ Karen — I miss my dad too. He was always my best supporter and was the one that encouraged me to write. I agree that as the holidays approach the memories are more poignant. I’m glad you still dream about your dad…perhaps that’s his way of being with you. So, maybe in your dreams you can give him that hug:~)

@ Patty — I lost my dad when I was sixteen so I kind of know what it feels like, but I agree with what your mother would say….that she is with you every day:~)

Hi Sara — those are really dramatic willow trees. Unless they aren’t willow trees, in which case they’re dramatic anyway despite my lack of understanding of their botanical classification. Anyway, great photos as always!

Hi Sara!
One of the meditations I do is sitting on a big boulder by a lake – very similar scene to the pics you posted – and I have this “encounter” almost all the time. The person varies, I let the Universe choose who to send me. If it was MY choice, I would select my father and let some healing take place.
