You're blowing me away and bringing tears to my eyes.

It was just as I wrote above. Let me grope around and see if I can glean any other bits from that experience . . .

It was a very robust and intense feeling. That you either had or would have soon a very strong need or opportunity to express a lot of caring toward a close loved one or more.

And, there was some sort of image, in addition to a kind of intense love toward a newborn type of love intensity--there was a kind of holding--a kind of wrapping in love; a cradling . . . . a cherishing, . . . a caressing . . . a kind of very thick caring--almost a tangible love sort of transmitted person to person in some unusual way out of the depths of one or more hearts involved.

And I think I sensed (or maybe imagined) a bit of hesitancy of some kind and I wanted to scream--avoid the hesitancy--wade in fiercely, strongly, floodingly. But I was chicken to say any such thing in the earlier post.

No, I had not communicated with nor heard from anyone about you AT ALL. Was just reading the thread and felt to respond about prayers re the person the prayers or thread were about . . . and as I saw your name on the screen I had the flood of such stuff as above just flow through me and into my awareness in a kind of intense condensed form that took a lot of words and tuning in to tease out into a form words could be put to. Not sure I'm making sense but that's about as well as I can put it.

It was kind of like a flower bomb--like a small very dense bomb was placed within me and then the flower petals of it started to rapidly unfold and expand in a way that allowed some words to form with the flood of intense feelings. I was quite shocked and taken aback by the suddenness, the unbiddeness and unconnectedness of what I received to anything that had gone before. But I felt like I dare not hesitate to share it with you--for whatever it might be worth.

It felt like it was too important to share even if it risked your disapproval.

Along with the above was a strong feeling of wishing I could wrap you and your whole family in a huge fuzzy thick down flannel or fur comforter of liquid love. Doesn't quite put it very accurately but that's as close as I can come.

Then I was somewhat concerned that I would come across as warning about some impending disaster. But it didn't feel like that was quite right. So I ended up putting it as I did.

If I have more thoughts and feelings on it, I'll try and share them after my shower.

Please know that you are deeply cared for, blam. I don't know what all's involved. But I know that's true. Very true. And I know that God is somehow hovering around your family for a list of good purposes regardless of the tragedy, hazards, risks, dangers. I know He seeks to do good to more than one or two in your family out of all this. There's a sense of awe in my gut about it all.

LUB,
later,
