Layne Redmond: The Wayshower and Drumming Oracle

Note: This blog was written prior to Layne’s passing beyond the veil on October 28, 2013.

You may not remember,

but let me tell you this,

someone in some future time

will think of us.

— Sappho

Just yesterday I was in a session with an energy healer, working on her marketing and website copy. She asked me, “Why does everything have to be so hard?” … which prompted me to say something that I’d never said before:

“Because you’re making it easier for the people coming after you … we are the living ancestors.”

I wondered where those words came from. They flowed so easily from my lips and I felt that they were channeled for my client.

Then I remembered …

I’m losing my first mentor, Layne Redmond. She is dying of cancer.

The grief has crept up on me since first hearing that Layne went into hospice in late June 2013.

Those words were also meant for me.

Mentors gird us up when we feel alone in life’s struggles.

At moments, when I’ve felt that things were difficult, I think of all the women who have come before me, who have paved the way through a dark, dense forest, so my way would be a lot easier.
