A friend of mine. 072209

I was touched by a friend of mine yesterday. A gentle, massaging, healing touch. I had a difficult time with some things that day and was a bit frustrated. I didn't realize how frustrated I was until he touched me. He touched me with tenderness and care and concern for my well being. There were no expectations just space. For me. I realized as he touched me, how alone I had been feeling. How lost and unsure about how I was gonna make the next step I was. I much tension I placed myself under. Many times when I have been touched it was for the other persons gratification and the nurturing energy or the security was missing. This time I could sense all the thoughts that were running under the surface of my happy face. All the fear and worry I had been hiding beneath my peaceful expression. In the safety that was provided I let down my guard and heard God crooning to me to relax and it would all be ok. God was showing me that if I let it there would always be people in my life to love me and hold a sacred space of renewal for me. And I cried because God was so thoughtful and showed her concern for me. I cried because someone was there to nurture me and I had the courage and wisdom to allow it. I was grateful...
