I went to donate platelets yesterday afternoon at the Lifestream Blood Bank in Ontario, CA. While I was donating, which takes about 2 hours, I was reading “Mary, Queen of Angels” by Doreen Virtue, a non-denominational book about the blessed Virgin. It seems like every time I pick up the book and read about someone’s encounter with Mary that it is perfect timing for me to learn something about her that means something to me directly. I remember periods of my life where her presence makes perfect sense. Like the times when I’ve smelled the strongest, sweetest smell of roses in places where you should not smell them, where no one but me smelled them.
I came home and went into my meditation room for my practice. Afterward, I felt very connected to Mary and decided to pull a tarot card from the accompanying card deck to the Doreen Virtue book. The card I pulled was “Quiet” and spoke of sitting in silence and asking questions that I wanted answers to. The first few answers seemed to come so rapidly that I decided to ask one that I was sure had no answer. I waited and felt and heard nothing. I realized this was my time to be quiet and wait.
The next morning my husband took off to work and I noticed the silence in the house. He had turned off the satellite radio channel before he left. I turned it back on so I could get dressed and ready for work. The song that was on was ending and the next song came on. It was “Ave Maria”! A Heavenly rendition by Catalin Finch. I cried like a little bitch. I put my hands in prayer and thanked her for listening and being there for me. I was joyful and humbled. It may not have been a definitive answer, but I didn’t need one anymore. All I needed to know was that I am supported and held in the light and that’s all anyone ever needs, if ya think about it.
Full of Grace,
Comfy Crystal
