Radiate empathy, warmth and positive vibes in Velonut's general direction

There are times when only “spinning your wheels” will do.

Our thoughts and energy have been with you during this time.

Hey Velo, I’ve been channeling positive vibes and empathy for a couple of weeks, but have been at a loss for the right choice of words to convey my thoughts. (Many kudos to the other folks who so eloquently conveyed their good wishes.) I am very glad to see you’ve had an opportunity to go riding as it’s a great way to clear one’s head. May your spring be mild and with tailwinds.

thinking of you and sending you warmth and love -
Joy and sorrow are constant companions
When one sits at your board
The other is asleep by your bed
I am very slowly bringing my life back
We truly hope that time is a great healer_{Khalil Gibran}

I spent a little time at my retreat sending you metta:

May you be safe and protected
May you be healthy and strong
May you be happy and at peace
May you know love and be loved

A statement I hope to be true for you Velonut.

“That thorny path, those stormy skies,
Have drawn our spirits nearer;
And rendered us, by sorrow’s ties,
Each to the other dearer.”

Many friends are here supporting you in your time of grief and sadness, and will continue to do so for as long as is needed. And while Grieving knows no limit of time, nor right way or wrong, remember also;

“The walls we build around us to keep sadness out, also keeps out joy”.
So build the walls you need for stability in your life right now, to grieve and wail upon, to lean against when you feel weak, but not so high, nor so strong that your friends can not get through it.

My most deepest condolences to you, and the friends and family of this precious light for which you have so recently lost. There could not possibly be a pain that could run deeper than loosing a child, and saying sorry does nothing to express my sincerity , or take away the grief you all must feel.
May the memories harmonize and heal your wounded hearts.

_{(This was something I wrote days ago, but my account would not let me post here, so I wrote our beloved Robots, and they have gratefully just fixed the problem for me , so I am deeply sorry for the delay in this getting to you.)}

So I usually find it works best for me to find those words that resonate with me as I hope these resonate with you and that you know we are thinking of you

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran

It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
