Ladybug Love

I have not been at Paines Prairie for a LONG time....I miss going on a drive with my face sticking out of  the window- eyes closed, feeling the wind on my face, as if it is the remedy to all maladies!!!! I miss beholding the moon, counting the stars and watching the shooting star dash.... I miss hearing the frogs croak, mosquitoes hum and the hustle of leaves, whispering to each other the secrets of the night.... but I miss hanging out with you even more.....

I miss our little closed door conversations, our chit- chat away from the boys, hearing you wish me "Good Morning Lady Bug" but most of all your laughter- the sound of sheer happiness and sometimes mischief.....

I miss your hugs, your endearing way of getting our lazy room mates to do things that are pending, your fiercely spirited games......

I realize what a blessing it is to have had all these at some point or another- It is true, I miss it- but I miss it in a content way.... knowing well that you are doing what you must do, to continue the victorious journey of life....I know you are making a difference, touching lives of people in way only you can do- enlivening it with your endless energy....

I am proud of your determination, your courage, your amicability, your resilience..... to be so away from home at a place with a new language, culture and people....

Although I miss everything about us, I know we miss nothing- we are as close across distances as we were when we lived together- distances are merely a dimension in the physical world- in the infinite dimensions of our world- loss of one little dimension means nothing- nothing at all.....


Sending you my ladybug love- across the oceans, seas, deserts, mountains and everything else that are between us.....
