You are loved by me…

An unusual situation~ When I hold our newborn grandson, I start singing words from my heart. New songs.

There’s a simplicity and purity in what I’m singing. Maybe it’s because he is still close to the other side, full of radiant beauty and light.

Words of love and advice are flowing and he snuggles in while I sing.

This recent song “Rock-a-Bye Peace” arrived while I was rocking him to sleep. Anyone who has tried to get a baby to sleep knows there are false moments of eyes shut and then open again. Close. Open. Close. Open.

Is this how I see insights into the Divine? Sometimes I am open. Sometimes I am closed.

I’ve spent this week working with this song and creating drawings to make the video. While I draw, I sing each line again and again.

And the words in this song have become medicine for me.

I sing softly, “Rock-a-bye Peace.”

For anyone who has known suffering, worry, even despair, a grandmother wishing you Peace is a most welcome offering.

The next line, “Rock-a-bye sleep.” For anyone who has known a sleepless night, this is one of the kindest gifts we can wish for someone ~ a peaceful night of sleep.

And then there’s the line, “Blessings of light, you fill me with delight.” I imagine a Divine Mother seeing me as full of light, even when I can’t see it, because She made me this way, made all of us this way, and She sees me with delight.

The most touching line in the song for me is the last line, “Know this little one, you are loved by Me.”

Know this little one, you are loved by Me.

In a big, noisy world, in a universe that is only getting bigger, in a timeline for human life, around people with whom I feel invisible… I can feel small, even insignificant.  And then the line from the song… to know that I am a little one in the Divine Mother’s heart and I am loved by Her.

I smile. Humbly. Receiving this love.

to know that I am a little one in the Divine Mother’s heart and I am loved by Her

I hear her singing, “Smile as I may, on this special day.” To feel a Divine Mother smiling at me today. Today is special~ because I am here and She is here. She smiles, a loving, tender smile, wishing me Peace, calling me little one, asking me to know and feel one thing, that I am loved by Her.

My eyes sparkle with teardrops. And I snuggle in.

My hope is that you will too.

It occurs to me that perhaps I am not offering this newborn wisdom. Perhaps he has brought it with him and I am translating this beautiful Motherly love that is always being offered to each one of us.

May Peace be with you.

I’ve asked our firefly friend Liva to sing this song “Rock-a-Bye Peace” to MissyAnn and Butter. Here’s a link to YouTube.
