He has posted some pictures at FB. Winning the scholarship for the seminar gave us this wonderful opportunity. <br /><br />You and I having a chance to meet seems a much better possibility now! <br />Love to you. :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-64544732848681736442010-05-30T05:22:19.266-07:002010-05-30T05:22:19.266-07:00Wonderful composition!

It's an extraordinary example of how sharing of thoughts bring two people closer in the real world. I hope you guys are going to spend a wonderful week.<br /><br />Infact this incidence is giving a feeling that it's not actually that far away when I would meet my Aunt in real.<br /><br />A lot love Aunt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-73452818571905953502010-05-30T00:27:32.281-07:002010-05-30T00:27:32.281-07:00kj~ I like that we are in sync alot too.

I'm still sorry that I didn't know of her blog while she was here...but I am reading the continuation of it being written by her daughter, which is special.<br />Dex and I will have some stories to share, I am sure. xoxoLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-88404656968225980382010-05-29T20:55:01.508-07:002010-05-29T20:55:01.508-07:00my god, lydia, this gave me chills. there is so mu...my god, lydia, this gave me chills. there is so much here i don't know where to begin.<br /><br />i'll start by wishing you and dex the very best time. i know it will be that. <br /><br />and i'll say that i understand how love finds its roots without a physical body. that happened to me too through blogging. my story has not ended well, but whether i like it or not the love will remain with me, probably, until i die, and even then, maybe then some.<br /><br />my friend baino had a young(er) friend visit her in australia, and she enjoyed every minute. <br /><br />some hearts just find oneanother <br /><br />amazing.<br /><br />love to you, lydia.<br /><br />ps i'm glad we're often in synch. i like that alot.<br /><br />♥kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-9688986260449846502010-05-29T00:25:58.057-07:002010-05-29T00:25:58.057-07:00Kristen~ Now I am worried about you being sick for...Kristen~ Now I am worried about you being sick for two weeks. That's rough, and especially as the school year wraps up. I hope you are feeling much better now so you can enjoy the long weekend. And I really look forward to your next post. :)<br /><br />Rhi~ You and I feel much the same in this regard. Being related by blood is not an automatic entree into my heart...there is so much more to what makes for a strong connection between people. I do hope that you have found that bond with your sister, or that it is building to that. Enjoy the weekend. <br /><br />Nancy~ I know; isn't it exciting?!

A blood connection most definitely not always mean there is and will ever be a "loving bond of closeness". I knew this firsthand since my young adulthood and all the way to this very day at the age of 59. I have a few close blog friends all the way across the other side of the world and their apecial friendship resonates with me at times more than the very people I am surrounded by and near me in close proximity. <br /><br />A tear came to my eye reading your post. A good kind of tear, dear Lydia.<br /><br />Oh and thank you for referring your blog friend to my Jim Morrison post. That was thoughtful of you to even take the time to think of doing that.<br /><br />Bless you and thank you,<br /><br />RhiRhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533771985725095499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-33259338490444486362010-05-28T19:40:18.236-07:002010-05-28T19:40:18.236-07:00Great post, Lydia!

And don't worry, a blog post from me will be coming soon...it's just being off of schoool sick for two weeks gets ALOT of work to make up. I tried making a 'thank you' video for a quick little post, but it wouldn't work :( But yeah, soon when my brains don't feel like turning to whipped cream xD Have a great night!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-15355822171748880042010-05-28T00:29:30.437-07:002010-05-28T00:29:30.437-07:00svasti~ Thank you for your wonderful comments, sho...svasti~ Thank you for your wonderful comments, showing you understand and celebrate this!<br /><br />the watercats~ Personally, I like the word community and see it the same as you. And I sure feel that you are a friend of mine within the community! <br />Your kid is so great. I love the things she says and I love that she can be so open about her thoughts in front of you. She is a deep thinker with a twist of humor. She would make a fine horse, but I'm glad she's a kid....here....now.<br /><br />Melinda~ Thank you for your kind comments. I know what you mean that the block can suddenly melt, which is what happened when I quit fighting the returning thought of Bette. Different muses for different occasions!<br /><br />Darlene~ Thank you for thinking the post moving. I felt the same about your comments about how it would be for a blogging friend to walk through the door. (I guess I'm about to find out that we are right!)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-3757917029794906962010-05-27T13:54:33.679-07:002010-05-27T13:54:33.679-07:00A beautiful post, Lydia.

I know that if they walked through my door I would recognize them and we could start talking as if we had known each other for ages.<br /><br />Bette was so beautiful I thought you were posting a photo of a movie star. Her concept of "It's all thought" reminds me of my aunt who said, "It's just rooms. We go from one room to another."<br /><br />I guess there are as many ideas of a hereafter as there are cultures and religions.<br /><br />Your post is very moving.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-221358024574594202010-05-27T09:41:59.839-07:002010-05-27T09:41:59.839-07:00Wow, Lydia--what a profoundly moving post.

Although, I've had it happen that way. I feel stagnant and then all of a sudden, the words just start becoming inspired (wish I could bottle that!). <br /><br />Take care--I hope you are feeling better, my friend--<br /><br />MelindaMelindahttp://blog.melindaville.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-60494664539611267982010-05-27T04:32:47.121-07:002010-05-27T04:32:47.121-07:00Great post!

People can recoil at the idea of a 'community', because with community, comes gossip, judgements etc. To me this is not a bad thing though, because each of these things indicates a deeper belonging... <br />I love the fact that I can talk to you, a thousand miles away, as if I was having a chat over the garden fence or at the kitchen table after calling round for a biscuit...<br />As to "it's all thought", that's a deep one. The kid only last night proclaimed over dinner that she didn't believe in God.. she went on to say she believed the earth was the main spiritual force, but that people who believed in God weren't wrong because whatever they believe, will be. Those who believe in heaven go to heaven, those who believe we go to the stars will go to the stars etc... the kid decided she was definately coming back as a horse :-DBatteson.Indhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846214578565824955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-12307812122039242142010-05-26T23:55:48.957-07:002010-05-26T23:55:48.957-07:00What a gorgeous post, Lydia.

There's people I've met through blogging, and then sort of even through someone I know who blogs, even if that person doesn't. And they've turned out to be really important people in my life. And then there's plenty of people that I've yet to meet, but hope I will get to some time. People I absolutely love, and yet we've never even heard each other's voices.<br /><br />I wish you the very best of luck for your first meeting with your son! xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
