Dolores (
DeeJazz) and I have been on a path toward awakening to the joys
and values of full living and expanded consciousness for most
of our lives together.
We traveled
together up and down Michigan highways where I have given speeches
in various places and for six years hosted a support group in
the Ken Keys ( Science of Happiness ) Methods.
We've done
The Forum, ISA, Avatar, Unity, Re-evaluation Counseling and various
spiritual and meditation exercises. Self help books and disciplines
are no stranger to us. We've done conventional religion and unconventional
spiritual venues. We've 'Ohm-ed', chanted, visualized and prayed.
We won't even talk about the sixties when Dolores was just a baby
but I wasn't. I had some great times.
Through it
all we've learned to love ourselves more fully; release the reigns
of some addictive behaviors; delight in people and realize that
it is we ourselves who create our experience of life and to celebrate
more and more each 'now' moment.
The
Early Years
The 50's in
America was a time of 'Mom and apple pie'. During this era lived
a young girl ( Hattie Mae ) who had two brothers but no sister.
She had longed to have a sister as a companion but that place
of want was vacant.
Then in late
January 1960 at the age of seventeen and a half years old, she
was blessed with a little blue/grey eyed beauty of a sister.
Baby sister
(Dolores) was two days old when she went into convulsions and
for almost two more days her life held in the balance. Panicked,
the Mother prayed frantically for healing and that God would spare
the life of her newborn baby daughter. Her prayers were answered;
she lived.
Thereafter,
Mother diligently watched over her sleeping child for over five
years before she could abandon the fear for her daughter's life.
The young
girl was granted her dream of having a sister, at last. Even though
her sister was too young to be a companion, still she cherished
the times they spent together.
Eventually,
baby sister grew until one day many years later they developed
a relationship as peers. Those events began over forty-three years
ago as of this writing in 2003.
Baby sister
was given a gift of music and sound at an early age and she
created melodies of a spiritual nature. Even now, there are times
when she is awakened from her sleep to sing or record a melody
into her answering machine. She is gifted and anointed by the Holy
Spirit to reveal to us a better way.
