From 3x Great Grandmother Marilla

 I think I just heard my 3X great grandmother Marilla remind me of the story of the shared 11:38 AM births.  So this is the story.  I took a job as an overnight caregiver for a newborn baby, whose parents were both local physicians.  It was a job I was always interested in experiencing.  Well, there is something interesting about this story.  The baby I cared for was born at 11:38 AM.  His mother was born at 11:38 AM.  And I was also born at 11:38 AM.  What are the odds??!!!  I pay attention to synchronicities like this.  This is how I appreciate their meaning.  This story fits right in with my theme of crazy but true life stories.  

Thank you to my 3x great grandmother for reminding me of this story.  I can hear my 3X great grandmother just laughing and laughing.  Well, I’m glad she’s amused.  I love the sound of her joyful laughter.  I think I get it now.  The reflection for myself is to ponder why I am happy to report stories that any rational person would deem to be evidence of a person’s state of being a bit Looney Tunes.  Hey, are you there Bugs Bunny?  And hello also to Margaret Hamilton.  And hello Nelly Bly.  There she is again.  I just thought of her again tonight.  The truth is, I’m happy to be a bit crazy.  I guess maybe this is because crazy is a place where I feel the most at home.  Ahh, is this the elusive connection with Nellie Bly?  There is a being crazy while maintaining one’s claim of sanity theme.

I just had a thought of my father‘s brother-in-law, my uncle Al.  And then I thought about him meeting and having an encounter with Mr. President Donald Trump.  I imagine him kneeling down before Mr. Trump and saying “My King, I bow to thee!”

And now I just had a thought about another family connection.  My 3x Great Grandfather Emil Ebert was a civil war veteran who killed himself by self inflicted gunshot to the head in Central Park New York City.  I have a message for my 3x Great Grandfather Emil Ebert. God bless you Emil Ebert and I hope that you are now feeling much better.

Ancestral Connections

 If a person seeks to know or connect with a deceased ancestor, their wish may be granted.  Even if it is just a figment of my own mind or imagination, I suppose this still counts.  If a person is a little touched in the head or perhaps deluded by magical thinking, the experience is still real to them after all.  Marilla Cordelia Rhodes Barbeau was indeed a real person and she is indeed my maternal 3x great grandmother.  I am also indeed a real person and I am her 3x great granddaughter.  We do have a real connection in our family lineage.  I am descended from her fifth and second surviving child, Ida Barbeau Geddes.  We are connected through a direct line of mothers and daughters.  That’s a lot of daughters!! 💕💗💕 Sometime I need to count all of your descendants that I can research and find.  There are a lot of us.  I’m “especially special” though right?!! 😊

Question For Grandmother Marilla

A question for my grandmother Marilla:  How do people comprehend the meanings in their lives when they are struggling to understand or find them?  Can we human beings just trust that our experiences and stories are important and meaningful even when a full comprehension is beyond our own point of reference?  Grandmother Marilla, I think you may have just helped me in formulating my own question.  Isn’t that a treasure! 😇💕 Reply: All lives and experiences are a wellspring for meaning.  Every seeming lack of meaning is the precursor to a world of meaning.  In connections, there are always meanings to be found.  Meanings that will benefit others in ways as yet unforeseen. Every journey no matter its ending, has higher levels of significant meaning yet to be discovered and comprehended.  We cannot perceive the meanings of all things without first acquiring higher vistas of perception.

Empathy For Trump

Below is the question that entered my conscious thinking and felt as though it was a good topic for reflection.  Following my question is my attempt to listen and hear a reply. This is a topic that to many, including myself, is difficult to comprehend. My question:   Do spiritually mature souls feel love and empathy for Donald Trump despite the fact that he has seemingly, without any concern or pause for moral reflection, acted in ways that have caused much harm and injury to others. Reply: A spiritually mature soul will feel love and empathy in a way that is consistent with their own point of reference and comprehension.  A spiritually mature soul should not withhold any of its love and empathy due to the inability or lack of readiness of others to comprehend its meaning and significance.  So yes, if a spiritually mature soul deems it appropriate and beneficial to feel love and empathy for Donald Trump then this is what will be expressed by such a soul.   ...
