My mission is to motivate people to find joy in transition.
April 5, 2006 The Babbling BrookImagine yourself sitting beside a lovely, babbling brook as it flows smoothly downstream rolling over the stones in its bed. What is on your mind and in your heart as you sit there? Recently, I had an opportunity to spend quiet time alone beside such a brook. I noticed the path it was taking through the mountains and beside the trees. I felt at peace listening to its gentle song and watching the water flow over the rocky bottom. This brook made me think of life. The rocks and stones on the bottom of the brook create the rhythm of the song it sings. People experience hard places, and have a choice: to create a song or to well up in sorrow.Christopher Reeve, a.k.a. Superman, was paralyzed in May, 1995 when he was thrown from his horse in an equestrian competition. He suffered greatly, especially the loss of being active with his family. Yet today he continues to give gifts to the world, even after his death in October, 2004. He wrote a book, starred in a movie, was a renowned inspirational speaker, and started the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center after his accident. True, Christopher Reeve had acclaim that opened doors, yet he experienced great suffering. Oftentimes there are stepping stones to cross a brook, and in life we can use our experiences as stepping stones that take us to the brighter side of life. If you are going through a season of sorrow, there is an inner voice speaking to you. What it is saying is a blessing and a request to move forward. You can do it or not, your choice. You can create a partnership with me as your coach because I want to walk on this path with you. I can not take away your pain; that would be robbing you of your gift. I can listen and be there for you and accompany you on a new path. Looking back as I left, the babbling brook was rolling over the rocks and singing softly. When you look back on your season of sorrow, you will see the gift.
Call me and we will walk the path together. With warm regards, Susan Sadler Hayman |
“Nature has been
for me, for as
long as I can remember a
source of solace, inspiration,
adventure and delight;
a home, a teacher,
a companion.”
