The Eagle and the Rose (32 page)

The rose has blossomed.

This is my story, this is my life. In so many ways it is no different from most. The pains and hurts, the joys and moments of happiness, even if for different reasons, are similar to many others. In other ways my story, my life, is vastly different, and many of my experiences are unbelievable.

I could say that I am as ordinary as the next man or woman … knowing that when God gave us His miracle, which is LIFE, He knew that we are, all of us, anything but ordinary.

Every one of us has a story to tell, for our lives are unrehearsed, like a play, a drama, or a movie. Each life, no matter how long or short, is a gift, God given, given for a purpose … that purpose the enhancement of the soul, for the soul's purpose is to learn, to grow.

When we give life, create a life, then we create a miracle. When we give meaning to that life, learning not to judge, trying to find forgiveness in our hearts for those who did harm to us, then we create an even bigger miracle. But when we give life to our own selves, forgiving the harm we do to our own selves, to give meaning and purpose to our own lives, then God must surely smile, knowing that His gift to us has been valued. And that must be the greatest miracle of all.

My miracle is my life.

My miracle is all life.

My miracle is life after life.

My miracle is my child's life.

My miracle is that each and every one of us has a miracle … is a miracle.

And I look to my guide, Grey Eagle, my teacher, my friend, and I ask, What can we do for each other? How do we nurture our world? How do we bring light into our lives?

His eyes kind and full of understanding and love … he answers … With
GENTLENESS
… and only with
GENTLENESS
.

Epilogue

T
here are many things I have to tell you, much information I have to impart, about the spirit world, and the people of the spirit world. In the next book I must tell you more of their story, and how we—we who live on this Earth plane—how our actions, our thoughts, create reactions in the world of spirit.

There is much to tell, and much to teach, and, as Grey Eagle would say, come sit with me … draw close to me now … past the beginning … let me tell you more of my journey, of my travels to the Far East, and of how I came to America.

Come sit with me … draw close to my fire … warm your hands … and I will continue my story.

I am a medium now, full fledged, flying high. Having experienced so very much I am no longer uncertain of my life, my work. With great confidence, born of an even greater faith, I tread my path—Grey Eagle, ever watchful, by my side.

It was July 1992, and although I had never intended, indeed never had any inclination to visit America, here I was.

It was hard to believe that just a few months before I had been in Hong Kong visiting an American friend, Lynne, and we had planned this trip.

In fact it was Lynne's suggestion that we tour the West Coast, beginning in New Mexico—Santa Fe to be exact—and slowly working our way round to Phoenix, Arizona.

My first and most major concern when this idea was broached was finance. Could I afford it? The answer came back loud and clear:
no,
I could not. But as my friend and I sat poring over the map, discussing the possible route we would take I caught sight of the place I needed to visit: Apache Country.

I looked more closely at the map. “The White Mountains,” “Fort Apache,” “Apache Territory,” and Phoenix …
Phoenix.
I traced a line with my finger, no doubt in my mind. I heard the mountains calling me, calling me home.

This was an adventure, and I was excited. Grey Eagle was bringing me back to his homeland—bringing me back. Santa Fe was charming, the Grand Canyon spectacular, Phoenix and our stay in a dome house … well, I'll tell you more of these things later.

And so we close the final pages of this book only to discover that we have opened the first pages of another.
