Since starting my spiritual journey several years ago, I’ve handled the news of this death differently than before my spiritual journey. I always feel most in tune with the universe when I’m outdoors. When I’m out exercising is when I meditate, pray and find my center.
When I found out a close friend of mine from a long while back had passed away, I didn’t know what to do with that information, so I just let it sit and went about my days. I compartmentalized it to deal with life’s pulls. It was always there though, in the back of my mind … just poking me … telling me I had to deal with it. I had to recognize it, had to DO something with it.
On one of my first days “back” into a routine of exercise from the holidays, I sat with it. I let it all enter my consciousness and engulf my spirit. I told my friend how very much I loved her. I let her know that I was so very sad for her family and her two young boys. I thanked her for being part of my evolution. I then thought of all of our very happy fun memories together. It had been a LONG time but they came to me. Then I told her that she was free to soar and how wonderful it must be to understand what human life was all about. To understand the trials of her soul’s physical existence and to now have peace. It was beautiful and I cried big crocodile tears all the while I was smiling.
It was my way to let go and deal with the ending of her physical journey. I had the most amazing experience a week or so later. I was doing my normal exercise routine and there is this lake in my neighborhood that I’m drawn to – I was running with my head down and asking my non-physical guides to guide my life’s direction (a prayer I say daily) — and something urged me to look up. I looked up HIGH and saw a magnificent bird with a HUGE wingspan gliding through the clouds.
I thought, how beautiful a creature! As my run became a walk, I didn’t think too much of the bird but it had drawn closer to me now — it was a beautiful white-headed hawk — and I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt this was my good friend who had passed not that long ago.
Lisa and I often talked of how amazing it would be to fly, to see the world from way up high and just take it all in. I KNOW that hawk was Lisa. I asked to connect to this bird’s soul and if it was my good friend, to come closer. The hawk circled and circled and came very close to me as I walked around the lake. It was a moment, one that won’t leave me.
As I finished my walk around the lake with big crocodile tears in my eyes, I looked up in the blue sky and the bird was gone, as in vanished. It made me wonder if I had made it all up. I know it was real. She is real, you are real, WE ARE REAL.
That’s what made me know this is our path, to find our gifts and bring them to the world. To come together on the journey of our souls, to choose the vertical path. I’m hoping you’ll come with me on our journey to awakening. Find your divine fingerprint and share it with those who need to hear it.
