Beautiful. The illusion of separation. Yes. What if we are connected all the time. God is here. God is now. The ancestors in our pockets, in the sensations of our skin. The trees we admire for a moment, bow inside our hearts and invite us to dance if we but stop to give them space enough and attention... What a lovely story you tell about your daughter. About your friend and her daughter. What if we focused more on this "loving connectedness" which is denied to no one? Truth is. Truth is. Truth is. Beyond and within. Aint it lovely? Makes me want to cry. And loss, as we know, only makes us more aware of what we have lost. Maybe that's because it isn't really lost??? What if we could see this emptiness as a testament to the depth of the love we always carry, but often ignore? ... But you get the last word here, Mirabai: " Grief and loss have lifted the illusion of separation, and, for a moment, we experience the boundarylessness of love." Brava! Muchisimas gracias, escritora de gracia. _/\_
What a wonderful summation of Mirabai's post. Thank you, and thank you, Mirabai for this lovely story of connection that is always there if we look deeply. 🙏
That's a wonderful take on falling in love by Cohen, and an achingly beautiful post. I never thought about grief as a way to greater clarity. Thank you, Mirabi.
So beautiful and true. I also experienced this thinning of the veil after my partner passed. It does feel like he visits me less as time goes on but I also wonder if it’s my shift back into life. However when I really miss him I feel like he can return in an instant. 🙏🏼
Mirabai your words shed light on the two-way connection between a being and another. I don’t know but just exploring in my mind the possibilities.. And while the heightened state of clear grief immediately after death, intensifies the connection, perhaps the one who has left this realm may also be in a state of not-knowing and finding themselves in a condition of acknowledging clearly their love and connection to ones left behind before they move into the next state. As the soul love continues to expand through multiple incarnations, all the love connections are held in so-called time… this is just an exploration in my mind, I have no real conclusion 🧡
Yes, Nina, beautiful reflections. One thing I know for sure is that I do not know! And I strongly feel that our beloved dead abide in a place outside of the laws of time & space. Especially time.
You are not wrong! I’ve been there as well when cancer stole my wife. Thanks for sharing, and for helping me through other resources with my contemplative walk and spiritual direction training.
I love what Cheryl Page https://mysticrichness.com/ says about this. That in the beginning we are asking for our loved ones to be with us and then we simply fall away from that practice. She notes that when we continue to ask they continue to come and then we are in a "vibrationship" with them always, like a dear friend who lives in a different country.
I love the truth in this -- how it is the layers of consciousness, normalcy and most likely self-preservation in the 3D world that block us front spirit. And how the suffering strips it away. Yes, the dead are always with us, if we are with them.
