Warmth....

I have death on my mind today.  Still Waters meets me at the water's edge...it's a cloudy day but it's warm...so glad that it's warm.

"What is troubling you child?" he asks

"I guess I'm just afraid of the unknown...what happens when we get to the other side?  Is there another side at all?  In the ghost investigating I do, I now wonder.  Can you enlighten me on this?"

"Why do you fear anything?  Fear leads you nowhere but brings you pain.  There is nothing to fear because you choose your existence.  Just as you chose to come here and incarnate for many lifetimes...you choose what your life will be like when you return to Source."

I look at him with doubt in my face.....

"Why do you doubt me?  Look...we are sitting at the edge of the ocean...why?  Because you chose it to be that way.  The day is warm but in your physical world it is not...how?  Because you chose it to be...do you understand?"

"But...my physical world is cold right now...there's no changing that even if I wanted to..."

"You're wrong" he says "If you wanted it to be warm you could just go someplace warm...isn't that right?"

"I guess so"....

"Listen, what you call death is just a journey home.  And in that home you can do and be and live wherever you want just by thinking of it."

"Ok then...how come some of these Spirits that I come in contact with seem lost and stuck...like they're not home at all"...I ask

"These Spirits you speak of were lost in life....they know no better.  Pray for them and the Light will shine for them and lead them home..but again..it is their choice whether or not they follow the Light.  They may choose not to and that is their right."

I sit....suddenly I am catapulted into swirling color and light.....it's not frightening but soothing.  Still Waters is there with me and we are floating....he asks "so....where would you like to go?"  with a gleam of mischief in his eyes...

"Oh"...I sigh...."everywhere warm"......

He laughs....
