How was your flight? I hope it was as fantastic as <br />what I imagined it was. <br />I was flying with you - you know? <br /> <br />As you waited for the plane, boarded, searched for your seat, <br />got settled...waited for departure, lifted off in the wings <br />of hundreds of tons of steel, flying toward an uncertain future <br />(as we all do) , soared among the angels of the sky (clouds) <br />and saw that the earth was very different just a few feet away. <br /> <br />Yes, I was there while you stumbled to get to the bathroom, <br />(I waited outside) , then made your way back to your seat. <br />I saw you looking out that small wind scratched window <br />watching the clouds below and vast open sea of blue and green, brown, and crusty froth of the sea acting like it didn't even <br />know you were above, or cared that you were. But it did. <br /> <br />Just as the whole earth is breathing, it humms and now and then says 'What is my daughter of the earth, Rochelle, doing today? ' <br />I was there when that humid air of the island hit your face as you walked out to the open greeting area. I saw that anxious look you had, that apprehensive stare. Tired of a journey that wears like an old hat, <br />you made your way to your new abode for the month ahead. <br /> <br />I left you there so I could get back and write you this email. <br />To tell you everything is fine, always will be. <br />You have passed through that unseen veil of division, <br />that unknown reason of suffering. <br /> <br />Yes my dear Rochelle, it is your time and this trip was God's way of showing you. Congratulations! <br />You have now embarked on your new and exciting journey <br />toward God, as you know God. <br />Good Heavens to you! <br />Love you!<br /><br />Bullion Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/letter-to-a-friend-on-vacation/
