A Short "Vacation"

Oh Dearest Winnie!  I'm write here with you…. happy to offer you strength, courage, resilience and anything else you might need/ want.  Take great care of yourself, you are dearly loved!
~Stacy

Sweet Dryad,
Thanks for filling us in. Of course we will hold down the fort at Play Pod. Sending healing love to you!!!
hugs and peaches,
Sprite

I was wondering and now I know… oh my friend… my dear playmate and word-pal…

I am holding you and sending healing energy your way. I have missed you greatly and yes, we will keep Play Pod ALIVE and moving. It misses you but it will be here for you when you return. We celebrate you now and we will celebrate you when you are ready to sit, swing, stroll, sing, saunter, DANCE and samba with us yet again! I want to sing with you in Lisbon … and play with you in the backyard! I want to write poetry with you and I want to read your novels!!!

I love you!
peri
ps … Mary and I will tend the horses. :-)

i bow in ceaseless prayer
and boundless love for you –
you are my heart and soul, Dryad!
and you have been called to endure so much
to be forged into such pure gold
shining for so many, what we can be
when we too, are radiant and free!

wishing you well!

and whatever you do: don't laugh!

it hurts!  ;-)

come to dreamland with us, where we will ride frothy steeds through the cloud canyons beneath the spinning moon, and wing through the valleys of thundering doom, full-boar, laughing! Let them try to catch us now! We don't need gravity, brakes or vertebrae! here….

long, long, very careful! hug…

Dear, I'm so very sorry! We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers! Heal yourself! We'll all be patiently looking forward to hearing from you when you can write again…. I'll be hoping and praying for you my friend!  

wishing you a gentle recovery!

Aho Dear Sister in Source,  I am including you in my daily helaing prayers for the highest good to be served by this adventure you have dived into.
Much Love, Gob of Laughter & Blessed IS,
Jeremiah

Lots of good thoughts for you!
Please keep us updated when you are able, and take care.

Please keep us up to date and I know you will be in my prayers sending mad love and energy your way well loves not mad just an expressionmeaning A LOT love you

Dryad,  Thanks so much for letting us know about your situation.  I will pray and hold you in my thoughts.  You've given so much to us.  I want healing miracles to surround you. 

Sending love Winnie…and so sorry to hear you had this happen to you and am sending you love and wellness and speedy recovery….perfect healing and soft hugs!
Aley

Dryad,
I think you must have spontaneous healing of your wounds occurring soon because there are so many people concentrating on your recovery.  I hope this will help you avoid surgery, but if not than it should help you heal from it.  Please feel better soon, you will relieve others' worried minds also.  Please go easy on yourself and think thoughts of floating and well being.
-Karen

My thoughts, love, heck everything I can muster, my wild horse, my twin raven and all other power animals, twinkling feisty fairies, the blue lady and all other empathic beings in the entire universe that will give an ear to my call I send to you my friend and may your surgeons be amazed and perplexed by your spontaneous healing.

I add my voice to all these above and triple echo Doug's message:
may your surgeons be amazed and perplexed by your spontaneous healing.

Friends above, let's make an energy circle. Perhaps Jeremiah can give guidance here.
Collective energy is much more powerful that individual.

Suggestion: twice per day, 7 am/pm for 5 +minutes
we each imagine gold light coming in through tops of our heads to our hearts
then gold beam going from our hearts to each other in circle.
In the circle we then pull down a shower of grace.
Dryad can step into this shower to be healed and nourished whenever she chooses.
also we could all put her in sacred geometry of my current icon.

otherwise what about something like a vigil? Set up a round the clock space on play pod like in fire the grid. people can go there whenever they have a free moment to write a poem, sing, paint, be there for Dryad now. each of us give a little of or own aura to Dryad to help her heal.
Let's keep this play mate with us.
I think I'll go post this there now.
with love to all of you
and you dear dryad

Jena,
Great ideas!  I'll meet you at playpod now too and I'll check back here to join in on other healing we can manifest!
hugs and oceans of peaches,
Sprite

I have been so busy of late at the agency where I work…… I regret to say  I have failed to keep up with my friends here….Dearest Winnie you know you have my heart and all my prayers.It brings tears to my eyes…..to know you are expereincing such pain…… but I rejoice to know you will be better in a blink……..In case you do not know it…… you are well loved……….May the Loving light …..of the infinate blue pearl…… fill your mind and body…..healing and transcending any obstacle…….Opening all doors to an overflowing of miracles, mercy, and grace…….so be it….so it is. Love always k

We surround you with beams of healing light…Be strong spiritually.  Spirit is senior to the body and I send you lots of love and shine and glows and healing powers.

I will be praying for you Dryad. Somebody was just telling me about that procedure the other day. They spoke of very good results. love, jenni

Sweet Dryad, there is no place on earth, inside us or without, so dark that light can't reach it. You are not alone. You are loved even more than you could imagine. There is much strength and serenity heading your way. Take it all. Share it with your physicians. It is inexhaustible. You will be well rapidly and thoroughly, and in short order available to fill the Dryad-shaped hole in our lives. I wish you a blessed healing.
Love,Burt

Sending you peaceful blessings for a speedy recovery and much more playing!

The light shines within you ~

You have a place in my heart. I will hold you near.   light,,, love,,,healing….

May God be with you and your family during this very difficult time, and may God be with your Doctors and Surgons as well. My Love and Blessings. :-)

Dear Dryad,
    Please take care of yourself. My baby and I will think of you everyday and hope for a speedy recovery. Everything will be fine in time. Hold on. Know that there are so many people thinking of you!!
All the love and well wishes.
Dana and baby Gavin

..gently caressed in our loving circle of light, you are mended, healed & whole– dancing, whirling, forever playing the Winniegame of wonderous joy in the center of our hearts. It is So.

I just logged on and got Mamakat's message and clicked over here to read this…hopefully you are following instructions and resting. Having cared for those with such injuries and having had such injuries myself I can empathize and am sending you love and healing energy…also for all the Reiki masters to send you some distance Reiki as well. You are loved and in our thoughts, prayers and positive intentions for a miraculous outcome. May your medical team be encircled with love and light and insight into the actions to be taken that are in your best and highest interest.

Love and Hugs,
Starseed

My heart goes out to you and I wish you courage. Thank you all for doing what you can to help and cheer this brave soul… I can't bear to think that she is alone in such a time of crisis.

I, too, am joining the circle of light that is surrounding you!

In this fatefule hour
I place all heaven with its power
and the sun with its brightness
and the snow with its whiteness
and the fire with all the strength it has
and the winds with their swiftness along their path
and the sea with its deepness
and the rocks with their steepness
and the earth with its starkness.
All these I place by god's almighty help and grace
between myself and the powers of darkenss.

(a Celtic prayer)

Om Tar Turare Ture Svaha

Hi Dryad, Am focussing on you and sending you white light of spirit and love, blue light from the gown of the Virgin Mother for healing.  There is so much Love here for you, and it is going out to you absolutely!  Thank you for all you give us, dear friend.  I'm on my way to the play pod, and each tiny thought and present moment is working with all the people here who love you so much, creating the future of your total healing.  Love, Martha

Drawn here after midnight, when I planned to be asleep an hour ago.  Now I know why.  In the quiet of this moment, I know it is already the truth that you are whole, perfect and complete - however it comes to pass is of no concern.  It is.  Love and light fill every cell of your body as we are all so very connected and so many here have already turned loving, healing, caring and sharing attention to you thus.

Bask in the beauty of this light and know love and health.  Be well and return, for we all would love to know that it is no miracle - it is love made manifest.

All the best surrounds you and all who care for you.

Deborah

Seeing you whole and complete, right now, dear unknown point of consciousness in here.

i am so sorry about this, Dryad. If you can, please get a tape recorder, and keep writing that way. The power of creativity makes pain diminish. 

Somehow it took reading Peridot saying “Mary and I will tend the horses…” for me to cry. Why? Because it is wholly this childsplay quality that restores us to wholeness. Always. This is what sprinkles stardust. Truly. Now that makes me think of Abe saying “no matter how sick a body is…. if they are wanting… they can be well….” Be well dear Dryad. There's lots more playing to do and dream

oh no - she is not alone, just look at all of us.  Our love and prayers will help.  We give strength, and energy.  Healing and hope.  Hopefully a lessening of the pain as well, and a speedy recovery to one who means so much to so many.  Love, islefaye

I'm on vaca & missed this but here I am now sending tons of love and healing and prayers and well wishes!  Be well soon, Dearest Winnie.

All my love,  Ayla

I'm on vaca & missed this but here I am now sending tons of love and healing and prayers and well wishes!  Be well soon, Dearest Winnie.

All my love,  Ayla

I send you light and prayer. I will light a candle for you. Anyone interested.. visualize a bright neon electric turqoise light going up and down her spine. It is a healing light particularly for spinal affliction.

a prayer for safe surgery
a peaceful energy to be part of you
the beauty of the circle
of care surrounding you

Sweet Edwina,
I send you beautiful golden light, healing energy, and my thoughts will be with you. May our prayers, energy and love help you heal completely, successfully, and as painless as possible. You are a wonderful person and your playfulness a gift that brings a smile to us every day. May we in return bring a smile to your face by making the healing process as light as possible. My heart, thoughts and love are with you. Bless you dear angel!
Golden rays of healing light,
Ilse

[all good prayers and healings to you, Dryad]

I'm preparing a sweet and healing place in my heart just for you.  I've filled your room with love and your friends are coming and going attending to your every need.  Each time you have a thought, before you can speak it … someone arrives to assist you and provide what you need.  You will hear often, “Yes, I know love … anything else I can do to help.”  And I am placing now love at the center of any pain, any discomfort.

You are part of this one body and we are always with you.  Your pain is own pain, as your comfort is our comfort.  We will see this to the end.

You are surrounded by the highest of love - we are gathered together as members as part of the whole body's healing.

PEACE be with you my sweet sister.

Sending you lots of love and big ((hugs))

Goddess bless, and place you on a fast healing path. I send my faeries friends with baskets of love, healing energy, smiles, and hugs.

It breaks my heart to hear of a friend in pain. Please be well. Love & light to you!

what news have I heard whispered on the wind of our dear friend Dryad?

Winnie is in bed and can't get out to answer us just yet but she has received all our prayers and love and healing thoughts. She knows these prayers are real and pure and she can feel the healing they are causing. She has never experienced anything like this before. Our messages are touching her deeply and healing old wounds. She thanks us all for being present and a participant.

Thank you for reading this and for dancing at Winnie's bedside here or in playpod whenever you can. As often as you can. And for embracing our shared but
uncommon dream:

In the words of Doug (beaded and embroided on by others):

The surgeons are astounded, bamboozled, confounded, dumbfounded, enchanted, flumoxed, gobsmacked……………totally and utterly, valetudinarian-lessly, x-ray-triple-checked zonked out by her spontaneous, miraculous recovery….

I'm sending healing love and light.  Collectively let's  close our eyes and hold our hands out over your spine and feel love pouring out all around your injury.  Golden loving light infusing every cell.  Om Namah Dear One

I'm sending lots of good energy your way.  Get better, rest, and we'll be here when you get back.

I'm sending lots of good energy your way.  Get better, rest, and we'll be here when you get back.

Joining the community in sending healing energies your way!

send you as an  keltic woman a  fire  of love ..be all angels with you .. and hold you when  storms comes up..    andrea

Edwina, sending you all the healing powers I could muster - abundant light, prayers, thoughts, energy from the Himalayas, energy from all the temples in Nepal,  angels, tantras, chants, namastes, smiles, love - to join all those coming from everyone else here at zaadz.  We love you and miss you so much. 

You will be healed in no time!

I can't understand your pain. Because I'm not you.I can just hope for a quick recovery.

Dryad, wishing you easy breaths, and body peace. Sending healing thoughts to you.

the surgeons were incredulous, irrefutably befuddled, irretrievably in awe, irreversably inspired by your sudden spontaneous healing….

over her spontaneous recovery!

Dear Dryad, Winnie, Edwina
may you spin dreams into reality, straw into gold,
a whole new spine fitting for a woman of such backbone..
genius genuine gentle 

we are with you in spirit
we love you and wish you well dear friend

Message from Winnie
 
(relayed by husband.)


I into hospital tomorrow (Friday) at
noon. not sure what time the surgery is scheduled.

They will try the less invasive needle and balloon treatment and if everything just collapses, they will open the spinal colomn and do it the other way. Keep your fingers crossed.  Reading all your prayers and soaking in the love.

Thank you so much, my dear friends. I have never felt so loved by so
many  - by so many who know just how weird I am and love me
anyway. It is amazing. I know I will be dancing soon.

You're amazing,Truly one of the most loving people I've ever known at Zaadz.

I appreciate your always granting beingness and for keeping the Truth.  I feel honored to call you a friend.  I send a beam for the hands of those handling your operation and know they want perfection.

Huge love,

Kathy

If ya know who betty crocker is and know that her cookbook is the BC cookbook then this'll make sense seeing as how my inicials are cc.  I hope you get better and that this poem makes you feel better!

C. C. Cookbook

A boiling brew
Of the most well known sort
Takes the souls of two,
Less it retort
And turn into a bottle of hurt.
It’s ingredients, various,
Anything from clouds to dirt
But one must be a touch serious.
There are so many flavors
To this sappy potion.
To the Lord’s favors
Pray devotion
For if the vial breaks
All the work is lost
To the high stakes
Of its huge cost.
You need a cats grace
And the compassion of a dove
To finally tie the lace
On the Syrup of Love.

                                    -C Chinn

As the Solstice brings us to an apex of darkness
before returning our world to a waxing of light,
exploding into a New Year with its coming Springtime
so you will go into surgery,
breath anesthesia into your weary body
and come out the other side of this long night
healed, renewed, and growing back into light

We are connecting you to the source of your own perfect health, let your surgeons be the physical instruments of your healing, bringing blessings to your weird, lovely, irreverent self in the new year Miss Winnie

winnie's surgery starts at 2pm
may your spirit guides be with you dear friend
we are all here rooting, praying channeling grace….

My prayer to grandmother

Holy grandmother you comfort me
when the light is gone
you give me eyes to see
your gentle mercy surrounding me.

Showering your loving kindness
Lightening my burdens/ blindness
 openly
with tender mercy holding me
with gentle beauty surrounding me
with Love and grace
wrapped all around me.

You're the one
my heart belongs to
your'e the one I journey onto
totally
Your Love and peace surounding me
Your wisdom /guidance grounding me
your gifts and blessings
raining down on me.

Such Holy light
such Joy delight
sings sweet now in my soul
each peaceful hour
your radiant power
heals my heart
and makes me whole.

I am your flute
sing songs through me
I let go now and open
heart of my heart
Joy of my soul
may our circle be unbroken.

Holy grandmother
I am your child
How blessed am I to know you
with surrendered sighs
with sweet rejoicing
I lay me down
you hold me.
AMEN.                           katherine eveningstar 07

Winnie, I don't know you yet, but am so touched by your process and the outpouring of love from the zaadz community.  I've had three spinal surgeries, all great successes.  The healing takes some time, and it will happen.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.
