Dear Helen,
I wanted to tell you, though, about the lily thing. Do you remember how I had some visual impressions of a very old and grotty thing that seemed like a lily bulb?
Well, that night I woke up with some words running through my head–a biblical quote, I believe, which is NOT typical of me: “Consider the lilies of the field. They toil not, neither do they weep.” I almost laughed out loud when I realised what I was thinking. It was quite obvious to me that an attitude adjustment was in order.
You may remember that I also had been telling you before the treatment about my tendency to feel like things were difficult, making mountains out of molehills really.
Well, those lilies in the field don’t do that; they just grow there and be beautiful, don’t they? I just needed to let that grotty old bulb be a beautiful lily.
Cheers,
Merry
