We have lost two extraordinary people this past week, and my heart weeps at the very same time that my heart sings...for I am knowing a new meaning of love. This is the process, this is the right road forward, moving from attachment to detachment...from the reasoning mind's resistance to spiritual consciousness, welcoming.
As Fr. Richard Rohr has written, "The mind can only reprocess the past, judge the present, and worry about the future." It is in practicing our principles always and in all ways that we learn to move "from an egocentric, fear-based life to a love-based life."
Our fear-based thoughts cry, "We will never see them again," all the while love flows forth, surrounds us, singing, "Their light is shining within us/without us right this very minute."
Just because our eyes cannot see a visible form, doesn't mean we cannot realize...and bask in...their continuing bright light.
For our beloved Sandy, for our beloved Carlton...thank you.
