The Unshakable Belief in the Universe ...

My Dear BHW Sisters,

What ALL of you have reinforced in my life is the belief in the Universe ... ... You have ALL helped to transform what I have always believed in into an Unshakable Belief in the Universe ... ...

Much gratitude to you ALL! ... ... ... ...

In the past, it was an intuitive understanding that assisted me in navigating my course in life ... Now, it IS an Unshakable Belief in the Universe .... ... There IS a difference and it IS palpable ... I CAN feel it! ... ...

On my trip back home I sat next to an older woman who required a wheelchair to navigate once she disembarked ... but ...

One would never guess that she wasn't at the prime of her life if one had not seen that ... I mean ... she is such a positive person ... so full of life ... She talked almost the entire trip, except when out of sheer exhaustion, I managed without meaning to ... to doze off briefly ... ...

When I awoke, she apologized for not wanting to disturb me ...

And, the conversations began anew ... She was soooo full of stories about her family and how "proud" she was of all of them ... She and her husband had come to the USA from Hong Kong many years ago and managed to raise two sons who were particularly successful in life ... Three of her grandsons graduated from Punahou, the same private school that President Barack Obama and my son graduated from ... Awesome! ... Three grandsons ... ALL now VERY successful and employed ... the last one only recently having graduated and who interviewed in NY for a position that 700 others applied for and he got ... "Lucky" is what people told her ... to which her response was ... "Lucky AND smart" ... ...

Yes, this woman has a LOT to teach a LOT of people, including me ... She is a ball of fire ... "quiet," but unmistakable ... "Quiet" in this context meaning "humble" ... She was in fact "boasting," but "quietly proud" ... Kudos to her! ... I don't blame her for a minute for "boasting" about her family ... She has EVERY right to be proud and to be "happy" ... something she emphasized throughout her sharing ... "happy" ... the need to be "happy" ... "Got good job, main thing ... happy" ... ..

It was interesting to say the least ... but ... I will have to return to finish this later ... gotta run ...

Aloha pume hana,

Barb

To continue ...

She also spoke to me about her other son and his two children - a son and a daughter - both doing very well with good jobs ... "Happy!" ... She IS soooo "happy" ... living the good life ... ...

She endeared herself to the crew, also, as she had a few kind words for EVERYONE who happened to interact with her ... It was VERY interesting to watch ... Kinda like watching my Mom do "her thing," but with a subtle sophistication that my dear Mom did not possess in the same degree - no disrespect intended, just the facts ...

Anyhoo, my reason for sharing this most recent trip with all of you is to hopefully communicate some of the basic truths about life and living that this woman in her simple ways made VISIBLE and manifest ... ...

I marveled at the thoughts that went through my mind as she shared her stories ...

As we parted she extended her hand and wanted to make sure that IF we happened to meet again we would meet as friends ... ... What a lady! ... ...

The Universe has certainly answered a lot of her prayers ... She is blessed to live as she does and she blesses all who happen to interact with her ... because I trust that EVERYONE walks away with a smile on their faces and in their hearts and minds ... marveling at it ALL ...

Yes, my intuitive trust in the Universe seems to become more VISIBLE to me as I manage to navigate my own path marveling at ALL I happen to see ... seemingly all of a sudden ... Soooooo many lightbulbs going off, one would think it was Christmas or something ... ...

So, thank you ALL, my dear BHW Sisters ... ... YOU have allowed me to see more clearly ... Now, I see what I only sensed in the past ... ...

Life manifests exactly how we manage to envision it ... Clarity allows the path to open before us with more ease ... I CAN see more clearly now and seeing IS believing AND believing allows seeing more clearly ... kinda like a virtuous circle, huh? ... ...

With many blessings to ALL ... ...

Aloha pume hana,
