A dear friend died yesterday...Jim, with his dry wit and eagle eye, was a special person to all who knew him. He saw the phony person, action, word and recognized himself in it...he never mocked but humanized making it easier for us to see ourselves in the Uh-Oh. I will forever doubt he recognized that as an asset of his...he just lived it.
I had an epiphany after I went to bed last night. I was remembering my friend, and I realized that I had loved him with a pureness of heart...unsentimental, unrealized, unselfed actually. I was held in thrall awe, knowing that this was the love I have sought to feel for God for all these years.
Looking back this morning, I can know that was an awakening, spiritual in nature, to the divine love we are born with...my friend was the gift God used to open my fearfully yearning heart.
Thank you my beloved Jim...rest in peace knowing you 'done good' even unto dying...you are not gone too soon...it is our missing your presence that feels that...God is always right and on time.
Thank you.
