SHOES/SOULS

Walking in others shoes, so at times i ponder on the paths of others. If i had lived there life how would it have been different. Then i must rest in knowing that God has a path for all of us, that he gives us no more then we can handle.
It is at this place William Woodworth my husband was laded to rest on the grounds of a desert surrounded by men that live a life of prayer . I received a letter form One of these pressies souls. The reflection of his love that day and over the past 14 year has brought tears to my eyes many times. I think of the girls there mom's and the loss they had to have felt that day and still do as they raise there families. I am sure there is others that ponder on the lose of a loved one. I am thankful in my weakness God was, and still is the strong one. The letter i received was sent to me because of a funeral, that was attended by so many that loved a very special Monk who i am blessed to have known. It reads: post maked date Oct 16Th 2008

Dearest Sherry, As you can imagine at times i frequently enjoy a certain forgetfulness----

But when i do have clear moment full pictures do restore Themselves fully. At the cemetery you were very present to me, Thank you! I realize that it must be hard to revisit pain-- But indeed

you my Friend have come a Great ways Courage and Much Love signed Dom, There are a few that know the full weight of that day and the life i lived with Bill. From the eulogy to the grave to the lunch shared that afternoon a family walked, O Lord i think of the shoes, we all walked that day and still do.

and like the Donuts from Valyermo we all have holes piece that God has removed to keep us close to him. Now some of the Donuts have big wholes with a lot of nuts, and others are like the Cinnamon sugar one's you can barley see the hole but it is there. I ponder how do people see me! Like Jackie O' with my glasses on being strong because i had to. Or like that big old nutty Donut that every one could see. And how different does God see me then others! Ah to be loved by God and prayed for by other! counting my blessing as i write this lovely man back and give thanks for his friendship. talk soon s.
