It is just a thing—that bauble or treasure that you love to look at or handle. And yet, the importance you place upon it can cause you to become quite off balance when it goes missing, breaks, or no longer is in your life. Why? For you felt a connection with it. This is why you say, “I love it!” Do you realize this is why you love the people in your life with whom you feel a strong sense of connection? And when their bodies break or are no longer present in your life you suffer.  Objects remain in your memory. People remain there as well, but there is a difference. Things are not alive. The soul is. The connection with your loved ones who have passed is far more than a memory. It is ongoing. Cease relying on the physical, as you do with things. The soul is not physical. It is a direct expression of Love, which is the connection, itself, and never dies.

You are so very loved.
