Yesterday's first guided meditation --
My three intentions have been set for the day's retreat. One bead for each threaded onto a wire wrapped around my tall white candle. A clear bead with a white swirly & a smaller green one embedded within it for healthy blessings. A small periwinkle bead for meaningful purpose, a job please. A flower-shaped blue bead for a child in waiting, so that we may be on the path to starting our own family. And a fourth large, yellow & white striped bead with wired wings to represent myself. It just called to me.
The candle sits next to a photo of Dad & me on my wedding day on our livingroom armoire and reminds me that Dad is at peace & is less than an arm length's away from my twin soul.
