Ageism-Farewell To Friends and Loved Ones

10/19/2010

Henri speaks of the vision, which grows in aging, leading us beyond the limitations of our human self  “It is a vision that makes us not only detach ourselves from preoccupation with the past but also from the importance of the present.  It is a vision that invites us to a total, fearless surrender in which the distinction between life and death slowly loses its pain”.  The author, Aldous Huxley describes the exact moment of his wife’s death: “Let go, let go…go forward into the light.  Let yourself be carried into the light.  No memories, no regrets, no looking backward, no apprehensive thoughts about your own or anyone else’s  future.  Only light.  Only this pure being, this love, this joy.”   This month I lost two of my most dear friends, Mary and Lynn.  Both were cheer leaders in my life, both called me to be my better self and loved unconditionally.  I believe it is is true that they were carried into the Light and they now  know the folly of worry about yesterday or tomorrow.  It is ironic that the very event that we fear and the aging that confirms it is the path to our liberation.  They completed their life’s mission and  I miss them  but I believe that they heard these words:  “Welcome good and faithful Servant!”.    Rest in peace, Dear Friends.  The loss of loved ones is a common human experience but the gift of their lives is a blessing to us all.  The lesson is to build on to the gifts of all their lives and on and on and on.  Thoughts?
