VULCAN MIND MELD

how do you send comfort to someone who needs it? i sit with my hand to my forehead, tears swelling in my eyes, trying to will SOMETHING to this person i love dearly. i try to let him feel my love across the miles, but i know it’s not MY love he wants. so i try to find a way to grab some of his pain from far away through the long distance that separates us. would that work if i could really do it? there are enough of us who love this young man who would gladly take some piece of his pain to make it bearable.

will my prayers help? i hope so. don't know what else to do.

life fucking HURTS.

but it hurts less when people like you care like you do.

Well, it doesn't hurt less, but the hurt becomes more bearable...

Don't worry Stacey, he knows you're there. Wasn't life so much easier when you could just kiss them better?

Yes - knowing you are thinking of him , knowing you would be willing to take away the pain, knowing that the energy of love is being sent across the miles, does make a difference. And whatever the pain is and whomever it may be, be sure that you know that the beautiful love you hold within you, will be felt through your words and your caring. Light a candle, put some soft music on and sit back and smile and let your thoughts be carried on waves of energy to him.

stace, trust me. one can feel prayer from a million miles away. continue to pray for him. if you want, email me his first name offline from the comments here and i too will pray for him. the power of a net of huge positive mojo cross the globe can help a person. i truly believe that.

i totally agree with michelle. we've got a problem here in house that i can't write about, but the other night all four of us lit candles, prayed, read to each other and watched NO tv (miraculously) and i feel deep down so much better.

be well. be strong for yourself and others. oh, and as for your suzy/shelly/mom/dad thing. trust me. you did the right thing. lay it out there. everyone else has talked behind your back. you're the bigger person to be open for it. good luck over there.

noth'n but love from here girl.
