From The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have.

What we hold dear
can heal the world.

I have since, when the time proved right, given away other precious things I have lived with-crystals and books and personal treasures I have long enshrined. For only in use do they again become healing. It is the giving of what is dear that helps us cross the river.

Wednesday 30th
Mir has her collection of special stones; stones that she picks up when she goes somewhere special, somewhere new... and of course she has her rock boy. Reading today's entry I was thinking about what 'personal treasures' I might have, might have collected – physical objects, I mean.

Yes I have my crystals, the ones I got when we went to downtown Asheville as well as the ones I got when we drove up to Laurel the last time we went. I also have my chakra stones, that I brought with me so that I can start to use them in my meditations, but most of my precious objects are memories – memories and words.

I have given some thought, several times, to creating some kind of medicine bag. I had one, at some point, something I made, sewed out of sued that i could keep my stones and my journal and other things inside... but one by one the objects lost their meaning, and the bag I made remains folded up and stored away. Perhaps this is an example of hanging on to things so long that they become useless to us and healing to no one. In exploring concepts and ideas, these are my thoughts. I'd like to try and build up my collection again, so I'm in a position to give things away for the healing and for love of others. Right now all I can give is words and memories, and often that is not enough for other people to hold on to.

In other news, Mir went to see Breaking Dawn with Kami today. It will be interesting to see what it's like, to see how much Chris is in it... I'd like to go and see it with her, so hopefully it won't be so bad that she'll hate to go and see it again.

All of ten seconds...

And I'm losing my rock boy, who is also a rock girl. Let's not forget that. I have four more days with him. We're both devastated at the news.

No! That's terrible to be losing your rock boy, (and no, I'll not forget he's a rock girl too). I hope you'll be able to keep in touch somehow!

I doubt I'll be able to... But I might give them a letter to take home, with my address where they can keep in touch, especially if he wants to keep in touch with a girl-boy. :)
