Turning: Words Heard from Within

By Claire H. Blatchford

The other side of sorrow is joy.
When you can raise your sorrow
above bitterness, above disappointment, above pain,
to the light--a birth occurs.
In heaven the angels rejoice.
Those who have died are fed.
On earth the very soil is made new.

Turning brings us messages of guidance, companionship, and comfort, heard intimately in the soul of a faithful listener over decades of inner experience. And more than that, it brings us to the courage of contacting the spirit directly, as it speaks within our own hearts. The spirit is near, and we need only turn toward it, ask from our hearts, and listen.

You are waiting for outer events
to determine the course of your inner life.
You've got it backwards.
Live from within, from your connection with me, outwards.
Then outer events will come TO you,
will surprise you in wonderful ways.

If you know someone who might benefit from some inspiring words, Turning is the perfect gift

Reading into your soul

A wonderful book for devotions, this book reads deep within your own self in a such a way that you would swear the writer knew you and what you needed the moment she wrote it! Each entry is an idea, a theme, or prayer. Sometimes they are presented simply at other times elegantly but at all times in a way that grabs you and teaches you something you need to know, want to know, or already know but needed to be reminded. It's a book to savor and hope it lasts a long time!
