Dear Openhanders,
Do you notice the eternal message of the divine weaving the fabric of life? Chris's latest sharing is a soul stirring invitation to see beyond the need for a particular outcome, to embrace the present and trust that we are loved eternally by a presence of infinite benevolence. We are offered a profound gift. The question is, will we step through the veil and accept it? I was inspired to tears to read his sharing this morning. Click here for the article:

What else is new on the Openhand site...

Remembering past lives
"The first time his gentle hand touched my hair, I saw a flash of myself as a celtic lady with a long green dress bathing in the light of his arms. I joyously danced through the meadow. The earth caressed my bare feet whilst the wind brushed my skin. The memory was a breathtaking journey of absolute love and unity. A gentle easing into the world of my past lives. The key that unlocked the memory was his touch, for it was exactly the same touch that had ignited the passion in the life we'd shared together before..."
My first hand personal sharing on remembering past lives. Why do we remember and how do past lives relate to our karma? Read full sharing here: http://www.openhandweb.org/11_11_09_remembering_past_lives

And a few final words from Kahlil Gibran to stir the memory of the soul...

The Great God separated a soul from
His own essence and fashioned beauty within her.
He gave her the mildness of the evening breezes,
the fragrance of wildflowers,
the gentleness of moonlight.
He gave her a cup of happiness and said,
'Drink of it only if you forget the past
and are heedless of the future.'
He gave her a cup of sorrow and said,
'Drink of it and apprehend the essence of life's joy.'
He scattered within her love that will desert
her at the first sigh of fulfillment and
a sweetness that will desert her at the first world of pride.
From heaven He sent down knowledge upon her to guide her on the paths of truth.
Deep within her He placed discernment to see
what cannot be seen.
In her He created a yearning that flows with dreams
and runs with spirits.
He clothed her with a robe of longing,
woven by angels from rainbow threads.

Thank you for reading. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

In Love and Light
