So there is a story
going around you have probably seen about a woman named Brittney who has chosen
to take advantage of the death with dignity law. There is also a beautiful
letter written by another woman who is begging Britney not to commit
"suicide." It's prompted me to just say this:
The beauty life on
earth brings to the spirit mind and body together as one, is one that if it
were to be described as an action, I would compare it to that of the
combination of the force of fission and fusion. Similarly, when the mind body
and spirit begin to separate it is one of the most humbling, spiritually
revitalizing experiences one could have.
The way life, colors,
light and emotions were once perceived seem nothing less then stunted. You look
back on life and realize you've been living in the first ten min of the black
and white sequence of the Wizard of OZ. The every day life you once lived, now
seems so silly, dark, and broken. I miss those times I lived in-between the
light and was able to witness the colors and emotions with the greatest
intensity of vibrations that one could imagine.
I miss being bathed
in music the way one feels standing beneath a waterfall. I miss knowing, and
understanding things and having that knowledge feel like a nice warm blanket
next to a winters fire. But most of all I miss the love and freedom from pain.
I guess that's why I sympathize with Miss Britney, loving the thought that she
doesn't have to suffer the pain and confusion that comes before the light bends.
And as Kara points out there is something beautiful that comes before death
within the grace of our Heavenly Father.
I don't know which
one is right, all I know is this: when it comes to that time in your life,
whether you have warning or not, don't drown in fear. Release yourself into the
arms of His love. How do you do that? Pray, and ask. The calm and peace that
will eventually come over you, maybe not at first, but eventually, will be the
most beautiful, breathtaking experience you will ever have. Every strong
emotion, every oz of love you have ever felt will be rolled up into one big
overflowing blanket of peace, heavens love will surround you, then you'll see
the colors, and the light will bend. After that I do not know, but I do know
it's nothing short of glorious.
