When one you love dies, you feel so helpless.  There is such a sense of finality.  And the greatest question you can ask yourself in this dire situation is: “Who is the one feeling helpless and hopeless?”  Ah, as the transition you call death propels you to find your loved one’s spirit at all costs, drives you to investigate the “I” and the “you” beneath the body, why, you discover a treasure untold:  the Spirit.  There is a part of you that never dies.  And there is a part of your loved ones that never dies.  And these parts have everything to do with trusting the flow of Life.  This flow will carry you beyond hopelessness.  May you flow from dire straits to the desired states of full awakening … Awareness as I and you.  It can be a bumpy journey at the surface level, so find the place from which the bumps arise, and you will be well on your way. 

You are so very loved.
