“There are years that ask questions and years that answer”. Zora Neale Hurston

Winter has a way of rebirthing our souls. Over the next few months the old part of ourselves will continue to shed. Walking on the beach the other day I felt I could see eternity.There is something about the setting sun that gives you perspective and of the past, present, and the future. I could see the big picture.The death of my brother this past month is teaching us lessons about life. Although he did not live well because of his alcoholism, the growth my family has experienced over the last several years seems to include my father’s death too.Spirit embraces all, and gives us answers to questions of our heart.All that we contemplate will be answered, especially after something as painful as a family member dying.  My brother is in a better place with my dad. I feel pain and peace at the same time.It makes you wonder and ask yourself “what if”  things were different would he still be here, but you realize that is futile.Now that they are together, I sense my dad is  taking care of him.There is still the presence of both of them and it is  peaceful that they are together. Dad’s have a way of taking care of you that no one else can do, even after they are gone.You know what they would say in situations.You know that after they are gone all that is left is the good, caring, and loving aspects of these people. After so much turmoil with my brother this is a burden lifted, almost immediately.Spirit is powerful. All the human effort we used to try to help was nothing compared to how spirit can shift your perspective.Each day that goes by answers to all the questions I have had are being answered.”He had an Appointment” said our elderly grandmother.These few words made sense more than any other. Our human mind  shifts  perspective and peace sets in. At times having faith was difficult, however, after reading inspiring stories about people who faced insurmountable hardships you feel strength to go on. Death is not an ending but a beginning. A new way of seeing those who have left us. The shift in our perspective can be easy or difficult depending on how we are perceiving death.After we make sense of a person leaving us in the best way that we can, the hindsight and understanding set in.The answers and peace you feel are a way of spirit speaking to your heart.

Love and Light,

Deborah
