Welcome Oliver

Welcome Oliver Rich - Born November 25, 2018 to Hal and Leigh Rich

“Like a stone on the surface of a still river
Driving the ripples on forever
Redemption rips through the surface of time
In the cry of a tiny babe”

     - Cry of a Tiny Babe, Bruce Cockburn

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay
May you stay forever young

   - Forever Young  , Bob Dylan


"Dear Child of God, you are loved with a love that nothing can shake, a love that loved you long before you were created, a love that will be there long after everything has disappeared.”
    —Desmond Tutu

It's no mystery when you can see clearly
Vibrating at a higher frequency
Fill your purpose as you go about life daily
Understanding what it means to clearly see, yeah

Spirit will provide….
Let go and Let God, Spirit will provide

  • Spirit Will Provide , Van Morrison

Some say faith is a childish game
Play on, children ,like it’s Christmas Day
Sing me a song, sing me a melody
Sing out loud, you’re a symphony

I want you to live forever…

 - Live Forever , Drew Holcombe


Oliver,
,

Well, here you are. Welcome! Some say that children born at Christmastime get cheated. I believe there is a little extra special blessing when born around Christmas . Ask your Zia Lindsay and cousin Caroline about this. The moment our eyes connected I felt the overwhelming power of the most mystical unconditional love. I wondered if I was about to hear the great truth ,that secret of the universe , the message that all the mystics and saints have understood . A new born baby has come directly from the eternal spark, the source of all life, and being in your presence I was just humbled to behold such a living grace. You came into this world as result of love between and from your mother and father. When I see them see you, hear you, speak to you or hold you you I see and feel their love for you.

I worry about how fast human beings become so distracted, corrupted and detached from the all-encompassing pure love and peace so quickly when we enter this world. I worry about the world of the Herod’s of all origins and types and pray for the innocents, and their parents , they have taken before they even started out on the great journey back home. I worry about the ignorance, greed/self-centeredness and violence that tries to spit in the face of God and undo all the good. I worry about those who cannot help themselves and suffer needlessly. It is said 
“If a problem can be solved…why worry and if problem is unsolvable, worrying will not help.”
Worrying has not helped me much and worry really does not resolve anything does it? So, here are a few things I have learned along the way that you may want to think about :

  • We are born out of love and and are loved constantly more than we will ever know;
  • “Fall in love , stay in love because that is everything”
  • Our purpose is to be genuine , use the talents we have been given to share that love and reflect that natural perfect peace;
  • Follow your heart and listen to the great voice within and you will know what to do and what to be;
  • Be grateful and humble as you make your way through the calm seas and storms of this great passage;
  • Know and nurture the goodness in this world. Admire and help the “good “ people in this world ( You’ll know who they are.) Be one of those good people that others want to be around( They will find you and your parents are good models of this);
  • There are those who are less fortunate and need your help and care;
  • Nature teaches us a lot if you are present to it’s beauty ,peace and truth;
  • Everything is evidence of the sacred …if you don’t get stuck in thinking or worrying too much about it;
  • Music, poetry and art are channels of the truth ( don’t ever forget to dance your heart out);
  • Trust your intuition always….
  • Always be amazed by everything in this world and you will amaze everyone!

( Though your brother may annoy you at times…remember brothers do that and deep down he loves you more than your know. I have a brother too.)

Flourish all ways. 
Te voglio bene assai, bene assai.

Nonno
