Journal entry by Rupert Tull de Salis

“These are the days of miracle and wonder.”  (Paul Simon) And today, the day after Easter Sunday, after all the events of the last 6 weeks, these are, for me, the days of gratitude.   
 
I’m back home, recovering exceptionally well and appreciating LIFE. It’s time to put  caringbridge.org to rest i.e. the acute illness is over, thank God.
Follow up appointments and therapies are in place.  Rupert and I have more support (agents of grace) than we could have ever thought possible.  
 
A favorite inspiring song, “River of Grace” sums up beautifully my experience to date:
 
“I am walking by a river of grace.  I can feel its current flowing.  Lifting me up to a numinous place.  Blessed be, may it keep flowing.
All my fears, all my worries, gone now, carried away.  All my rush, all my hurry, gone now, carried away, carried away, carried away.
Carried away.  Carried away on a river of grace, blessed be may it keep flowing.”  Anon
 
We are walking by a river of grace.  Every step beyond our knowing, what all the angels will put into place, blessed be what they’re unfolding.
Lifted up, all our burdens, gone now carried away.  Carried away…carried away on a river of grace.  Blessed be may it keep flowing.”
 
Powerful words of wisdom from my teacher Swami Sivananda:

“Have courage.  Be cheerful.  Be courteous.  Be a dynamo of irrepressible happiness.  Assist, assist everyone.”


Look for the magic behind each moment.
Much love, in song,
Jody
