TIME

My artbeat and my heartbeat have stuttered today. We were told by the district nurse that she believes my dad has only days left on this planet. Although I was expecting this, still, it brings one down to earth and causes one to question what this is all about. But I find I come back to the ideas that I have formed through years of seeking and have found in Buddhism, Hinduism, Zen, Spritualism, etc.. This is all an illusion through which we learn for future life. We are energy at our core, which is released at the demise of the corporeal vehicle and becomes free to exist as it is, or to seek new adventures in other corporeal forms, or if advanced enough , to re-merge with the greater whole. So, in one way, today has made me very sad, but also content in the knowledge that this is part of the norm. life is too short to be serious and too long to be frivolous, so love all and hurt none. Peace is within us all. Peace be with you.
