LEAVING THE STRUGGLES BEHIND

Surrounding each dying person is the light of inevitability.

Surrender to the process underway carries them forward on the current of life. Being in their presence trains our inner sight on places beyond what the eye can see, and our knowing is caught by a familiar impulse – it vibrates with resignation and with peace; a total lack of struggle. We can feel the calm as it descends ; the struggle is over!

Knowing the way we too will follow is a source of comfort and solace. There is a recognition that is awakened, as well as a yearning to have all the struggles behind us. Showing us the way to go home are the individuals who go before us and prepare the way. Claim the knowing that is already within…a walk down the path that is leading home.

When you watch a person who is transitioning out of this life, there is a sense that they are not leaving, but “moving on.” It may be with reluctance that they get on the train, but the train is leaving and will take us along.
