What happens after we die? Is there life after death? These are very fearful thoughts for some people but let’s face it, as soon as we are born, are lives are limited on this planet. There is no need to fear death because you can’t fear what you don’t know. I see death as a return to where we all really came from. We can’t remember being born so surely, we won’t remember dying.
Thinking of my wonderful pets Freddy and Bradley – who left our world too soon, in my opinion, I take comfort knowing that neither were left behind in a state of misery, discomfort or pain. As hard as it was to lose them, I am glad that they returned ‘home’ without incident. This is how I look at someone’s passing – they are returning to where they belong. I used to have a fear of death – mainly because I thought too much of how I would go, if I would be in pain and where I would go (hell or heaven) based on the religious beliefs that were instilled into me.
Instead of focusing on the negative energies of death or the unknown. I came to terms that we are all born to die – you can’t change that, it is inevitable. Why fear it? Why not embrace it and live each moment in the moment?
Today, I want to take a moment to remember my Bradley and my Freddy. I also want to remember everyone else I loved that have gone back home. This is for you.
CLOUD NINE
written by Martin Gore and performed by Onetwo (Claudia Brucken and Paul Humphrey’s)
Thought I saw you up there
Drifting with the clouds
Thought I heard you call me
First quietly then loud
Is it imagination? What is real?
I think I’m part of you
I breathe like you feel
Can’t forget the power
The magic of the night
The overwhelming moment
I looked into your eyes
Dancing with the wind
Dancing in your arms
Gliding like two surfers
In the sea of love
Don’t ask for tomorrow
Just carry on with now
Don’t drown your heart in sorrow
I’ve got to leave you now
Don’t ask me for the future
Don’t cry for yesterday
It’s time to say goodbye now
I’m sure we’ll meet again
Moments turn to hours
Hours into days
My lonely heart is aching
Since you’ve gone away
I wish you’d read my mind
Send a little sign
I carry you so deeply
Within my soul
Don’t ask for tomorrow
Just carry on with now
Don’t drown your heart in sorrow
I’ve got to leave you now
Don’t ask me for the future
Don’t cry for yesterday
It’s time to say goodbye now
Together we can make the world a more positive one!
