Held in the light



Dear Friends,

When I was in Swaziland this year, I wrote to you about one of my dear friends.... a young beautiful girl named Yvonne.

I received word today that Yvonne is very sick and has been hospitalised again. Im not sure if she has tuberculosis or whether its a recurrence of aspiration pneumonia.
What i do know is that she is one of this worlds quiet angels.... She lives and loves through her smile, in one of the most wounded corners of our blue planet. I have been blessed so many times by the soft grace which dwells gently in those brown eyes. Even now when I think of her, radiant love shimmers across me like sunlight across the water....

I ask you to take a moment to read her story....here

And join with me as I hold her in the light.

Love the world into change,

Maithri

Friends,

You dont know how deeply this moves me....

To see good hearted people opening their hearts to a little quiet girl in a hospital bed in rural Swaziland...

We can build bridges of hope that extend across the seven sease...

We can whisper love into the darkness and become catalysts for change...

With all of my heart, I know we can...

Love to you all,

Maithri

"Love the world into change" ... YES :-)

Praying for Yvonne to breathe with ease ... for suffering to soften ... for spaciousness ... for deep, soothing rest.

... and for some delicious yogurt ... (My mother's favourite was peach!)

"In the wings of her tender grace and unbounded dignity, Yvonne reminds me each day that we are not called to change this crazy world.We are called simply to love it."....

...you wrote that on your previous post about Yvonne, and you are so right.

My prayers and healing thoughts are with your beautiful Yvonne.

I've done tons of research and read lots of stories with the help of my family but I've never been touched by someone's story the way beautiful Yvonne's has. When I ask my brother to help of use the computer the I didn't think I was gonna find an angel today and I never expected to to cry so much and end up asking him to excuse me for a few minutes... She's such a beauty and that smile just made it's way right into my heart... I wish I could meet her, even if it's to tell her I understand, I know the pain she faces daily and I'm praying for her... I saw my own sorrow in her and that has never happened before, I've never heard a story that has similarities to mine and I've never looked at a picture that absorbed me and made me wanna do something to help... May the angels gather around her bed today and always, may she find answers and healing.
