Sleep My Child and Peace Attend Thee

I've been falling apart the last 24 hours.  Came out here feeling frantic and overwhelmed.  Everything seemed too much.  I thought, "I need to go away for a few days and have someone take care of me."

 

--I will take care of you.—

 

and I lay my thoughts and fearings open to You.

 

--Trust.  You need to learn to trust Me;

with life, your life,

"your" people which are My people.

My goodness!

  You even worry over the forest creatures. 

Let them go.  I will tend them.

 

             And I will tend you.

          You need this: My care, My tender/silly one.

 

          Shhhhh, My Child.

  I am big.

 

So big.

 

So very, very big...--

 

      I look at the tree in front of me in awe --

- how could it just grow up from the ground with all its knots and twists and color variations.

 

  And I am lost in wonder.
