On the Meadow

for every beginning there is an end, an end for new beginnings.
death is never thee end. it is an "i'll see you later" - 

in the actual dance of death, one learns that a loved one never truly dies, they become absent from the flesh and very much alive in the spirit - because, they live on in the memories. as we carry them in our hearts - loving, remembering and believing in the reunion that is yet to come.

singing the song in life, that will echo in death -"i love you - i loved you - i will eternally love you!

I have learned much in my time alive and have realised that the teachings in between death have taught me so much more about life, they are - 
 kindness - Gratitude - Grace.

I learned the importance of hugs which speaks so much louder than words - 

the smile in the midst of pain, the whispered hello's and the i missed you.,,,, 
the shouts of awe upon seeing a familiar face, the choosing wisely before judging (walking in discernment)

the true storytelling of Forgiveness - of Courage, of Strength, the Knowing, the True Understanding & Complete Acceptance of Self.

death teaches us all that everything, Everything is temporary - life included and yet, we are surprised when it is gone.

death teaches that time is not our friend so Forgive and move on.
death teaches that instead of tears in goodbye's, share laughter in excited hello's, to plant BOTH feet in your today instead of continuing to live half assed with one foot in yesterdays bullshit and the other in an imaginary tomorrow that really never arrives, because tomorrow, becomes your today.

reality is truth and the truth is too difficult for many to accept so, live out loud - in your own lane - wearing your truth in vibrant colors and blind the idiots who live beautiful lies while vibrating low - 
for those mi gente -  
are truly,..
 the "Walking Dead"

"CHOOSE TO LIVE UNTIL YOU DIE SO THAT YOU MAY LIVE"

flowers should be gifted to the living and if you must shed tears, allow them to flow towards entertaining the act of greeting loved ones at happy gatherings, not at gravesites.

*many do not know. maybe are not even aware* of the sudden arrival of memories from a scent, a song, a gesture, a quote, a favorite dessert - of an earth birthday to the heaven birthdate. of a life lived with rainbows and storms, of laughter and tears and most importantly - giving and receiving Forgiveness before ascension.

we are all born to die (it is the law of life) the balance.
life is beautiful - your choices in life either make it abundant and bright or 
hard and dark,  
life simply is.

*many do not know or are not even aware* that loss is painful and scary and at times lonely - it numbs the Heart - mutes the Voice and plugs the tunnel of Sound - grief is not linear, it rolls in with the waves, it buries itself in the sand, it lives,.. in your back pocket.,,, until Your last breath. 

as Colin Murray Parkes wrote: "Grief is the price we pay for Love!"

in the One life that we have we must learn not to feel obligated to explain our pain, what you are obligated to do is acknowledge that we must feel it - to understand it - in order to live with it - in harmony - in Peace. 

Grief is an emotion that we must accept and acknowledge and learn to handle in our daily lives because we are all born with our own purpose - we must carry on with our individual brilliance all while carrying the memories of our loved ones who have traveled before us - the "until we meet again" means I will continue to live the life i have been gifted and when the time comes for me to depart, I will meet you on the meadow amongst the giggling daisies and we will embrace once again in eternal bliss.

For those who do not know, or cannot understand,.. - you will!!!
 for life will show up and introduce you to death - 
for it is the Balance of the universe you live within.

Time waits for no one - time will move forward - the sun will shine and set allowing for the moon to glow  - teaching us to gracefully move on and love - in Gratitude of living while carrying the Life that was in our hearts.

I will boldly share that: I love all of me for living out loud, on purpose and Knowing that love is love is love till Eternity.

Have an Intentionally Grateful day.
