“To my Friend – I am your Friend and my Love for you runs deep.

There is nothing I can give you that you have not already, and yet there is much, very much, that – while I cannot give It – you can receive.

No Heaven can come to us unless our Hearts find rest in today – Take Heaven!

No Peace lies in the future that is not hidden in this present moment – Take Peace!

The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it and within our reach is Joy. Could we but See, there is radiance and glory in the Darkness – and to See we have but to look. I beseech you to look!

Life is so generous a Giver, and yet we, so often judging its Gifts by their coverings, often cast them away as ‘ugly’ or ‘heavy’ or ‘hard’. Remove those coverings and you will find beneath them a Living Splendor, woven of Love, wisdom and power. Welcome it … Grasp it … Touch the Angel’s hand that brings it to you. Believe me, that Angel’s hand is there … Those Gifts are there – as is the Wonder of their overshadowing presence … Life is so full of Meaning and Purpose; so full of Beauty beneath Its coverings – that you will discover that Earth but cloaks your Heaven.

Courage, then, to claim It – that is all! And yet courage you have, along with the Knowledge that we are all Pilgrims Together; wending our ways through unknown territory – finding our way Home.

And so, at this time, I greet you. Not quite the way the world sends greetings, but rather with profound esteem and the prayer that for now and forevermore, the day breaks for you, and the shadows flee away.” ~ Frau Giocondo
