It is a milestone to face your own death, for it is a final key on the path of truly living. To understand that we have a finite time in this human body, to truly embrace the here and now.
I sing my son a lullaby every night and last night I imagined those loving words being absorbed into every cell in his body, so when he walks out into this world he carries those within him. Pure love. When the time comes and I leave this earth he carries all of these words and their energy inside him always.
The pain I feel is something to be honoured, for I see how much I have and how much I want to embrace life and experience joy on all levels.
It is a milestone to face your own death, for it is a final key on the path of truly living. To understand that we have a finite time in this human body, to truly embrace the here and now. To drink in our lives and to cut out the superficial thoughts and concerns.
My night had been a restless one, one where I was thinking about all I had to do and how I was going to do it. So I lost sleep, I deprived my beautiful body of down time. When in reality, it doesn’t matter.
When I looked this morning in that still, gentle light at the beautiful boy with sleepy eyes, all that nothingness was put well and truly in its place.
I do not have the time to waste on rubbish, on thoughts that have no place, on worries that are ghosts. Yet to face the concept of our death we must actually be living our lives.
So my ceremonial facing of death, has given me the true will to live. This is the gift I have been given today. May you all receive this blessing.
