One step beyond

The dead have a way of remaining a mystery to us. We know what we know about those who have been with us and no longer share this level of existence.

This time of year has been a time when the death circles nearer for me, reminders of what was once and exists now only in that place between.

They say cats are half in and half out of the world of the dead, probably where the whole 9 lives things comes from, odd too that they are one of the few animals that will and are equipped to fight back even before they can see.

Why give that ability to any creature, unless there is a need for it.

What lies beyond? No one really can tell you until you’ve gone but we dismiss those who say they have.

Is the light they see the light of the after life or is it the light of the next life beginning of a rebirth.

Recently, I had a conversation with my father, which doesn’t seem an odd thing to say, unless you consider that he has been dead for the last 8 years.

This was as real a conversation that I have ever had awake in every respect. I woke from that conversation with a sense that things between my father and I were more settled than they have been.

We were getting along when he died, but to say we were close as father and son would not have been something anyone would have ever said of us. However, we were getting there.

Then he died.

There were things left unsaid between us as there are with any one who has lost someone. However I know that our last words were words of kindness.

In our recent conversation it was a continuation of where things were going in our time here if there were more time here.

Who knows, maybe it was just all the cold medicine, but I don’t think it was. This was real or at least it was for me. I can’t prove it to anyone else and the thing is I don’t need to prove it to anyone. Maybe it was just a collection of memories blending together and forming a dream conversation fulfilling some gap or void in that relationship. Maybe it was really a visit from his energy that remains in this world and we are just more willing to allow that energy to interact with us while we are asleep.


Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely
