The great spiritual teacher Mooji reminds us that all things come and go, even emotions. But some feelings open the door to forever, like the ones that transcend time and space and linger in your heart, not as a painful experience, but as an assurance that some things endure. When my daughter passed away on March 3, 2014, I realized a new meaning of forever. Love is forever, without time to box it in and make it transient. Pain fades. Memories even dim, but love is forever, because Spirit is forever.
This is beautiful and a perfect expression of what true love is. Thank you for sharing. DeAlva
Oh, Eleanor!!! I didn’t know you lost your daughter. I am so sorry for your loss!
It’s amazing the “things” we go through and regardless of whether you are aware of the status of your mind, or heart…for example my mother…my best friend who passed away suddenly…you don’t accept the the fact that she’s gone, and how much you love her until a close friend brings reality to you. My Sister’s realization of the loss of her daughter has hit my heart so hard, and now looking at my mother’s pictures brings her to my heart, and I love her so much and have so many memories of our times together. You are so right My Sister….love is Forever. I share this with you as the tears run down my face…and I thank you for being “You!” We are blessed to love and be loved.
When we have empathy the emotion is a sign that we are connected to the one truth of our existence. Love is all there is.
As always Eleanor……expressing from the depth of the one truth.
One love, one truth, one “self!”
So beautifully said and thank you for returning to your blogging. So deeply sorry for your loss. The love you and your daughter have is infinite! With love.
Hi El,
You have been so much on my mind and in my thoughts, especially this Mother’s Day. I wanted to call you, hug you, reassure you, do whatever to ease the pain. But with deeper introspection, somehow I knew you and Melonie were embracing each other’s spirits. And so I sat quietly meditating on what was surely a beautiful relationship. While I did not know her, whenever you spoke of her, it was with such pride and joy. In love, there is no loss, just
wonderful passages of time in which we massage each other’s spirits..
Love is forever. We are all ever-changing spiritual energy of love. Thank you for expressing your compassion.
