making friends with ghosts

i sat and listened to a woman tell me her very own
ghost story last week.

i don't know what i think about the subject of ghosts.
i told her that.....explained my beliefs which were
few...

about the only thing i could grab on to that worked
for the conversation was i believe in 'energy' and the
flow of it all.

she was really jittery about whatever was going on. and it
did sound interesting.

so i suggested she make friends with it. take the negative
feelings and turn them around.

hmmmmm.......
you know.......that just kinda works with everything
doesn't it? doesn't have to be a ghost in your home...

how about a ghost in your heart?
how about the turmoil in your blood?
how about the weight in your bones?
the worry in your mind?
the fear that runs thru you....

how about it all?
make friends with it.

hmmmmm.....
suddenly i could put my own stuff in her whole
ghost story. i could see how certain thoughts, feelings,
energies inside me did the things her ghost was doin'
to her......how i gave them a life of their own and
feared their power and their intentions......

make friends, terri.....
just make friends with it all.....
