It was another hot and muggy Florida afternoon, I had come in from an exhausted and battling excavation in the garden. I came inside to cool off and chose to surf the web… I had not visited my friend Stu’s website in a while so I clicked on the search bar and could not understand why Wiki was referencing of him in past tense.
My mind could not make sense, I clicked on over to his site
I sit here now with tears in my eyes, the last time I cried this hard was when I heard the news of Princess Diana’s death and the 9/11 crisis in New York city.
Stuart Wilde’s writings helped me understand that I was not the only one that thought the way I did; he gave me hope in knowing that there were others that believed in the beauty of the world and that we were tandem creators. He called these people the ‘fringe dwellers’ – those that do not align with the constraints of life in regular society.
I never met him, but through his writings he became my friend and mentor. In the wee hours of the night, or tender minutes of the morning he was a whisper to my soul.
In “the quickening” he says: ‘The world of the common man is about to unravel, like never before. I seek the attention of those that are strong and getting stronger. It is only through the power of these ‘indidviduals’ that the spirituality of the world will survive the hurricanes of change. There is little time.’
…my friend is gone. He who reminded me that I am here to live. In his book the Sixth Sense he says: ‘So be in touch. Notice the feel of things. As you take to the more sacred yin path, your perspective changes. …shifting and moving, opening some doors and closing others – a world where anything is possible, and the impossible becomes possible.’
As I seek his company through his book Infinite Self he reminds me that I am on a Quest. ‘Quest is, that sacred journey from ego to spirit. …when you make the decision to seek your Infinite Self, you are joined by a very ancient, holy, very sacred energy that is older than time, which comes to allow you the ability to transcend.’
My friend of 20 years has moved from this plane of existence, and my heart hurts. These last 20 years have been painful, the shift has been challenging, the tribulations daunting, the journey has been lonely.
I have asked for the sacred path, and I’ve learned that with that journey I’ve had to be ready for some hard core life lessons. It comes at me at warp speed, I know I must be going through a lot of lessons because people move in and out of my life very fast; this does not make it any easier. I’m not sure I am cut out for this spiritual warrior stuff.
He reminds me to live JOY, in ‘The Secret of Life’ he says: ‘In theory, joy should be a natural part of our lives. … we almost have to make joy a habit, a long lost friend to see. In the craziness of life, we shouldn’t lose sight of the beauty, the calm, and the purpose to things.’
(for me) Joy, comes from gratitude that on a lazy afternoon I walked into a bookstore and saw a little book titled:
Silent Power, by Stuart Wilde
Daisy Says: My friend, I walk in peace, and in the ether we will meet again.
