My Working Hypothesis

“The shamans say that the Universe makes you right – so that whatever you choose to believe (your working hypothesis), you will continue to find evidence to support it. So, why not make your working hypothesis extraordinary.”    – Alberto Villoldo
The problem with the sudden passing --it is still very hard to say the "d" word-- of my daughter is that it challenges my basic hypothesis for living. I choose to believe that the universe was formed out of love, and that love is the most dominant force on the planet today. With all of its problems, this is still a planet of love. Creatures and rocks and oceans and human beings all live in a field of love. I can feel it---or I could feel it, before the first week of June, 2013. Now I am half-submerged in the quicksand of slow grief, of grieflove, which pulls me down and refuses to let me go. The more I struggle, the deeper I go. And yet, when I breathe into the loss, it still will not leave me. I have not yet found the amount of tears that will be enough to set me free.

    Love Is Stronger Than Death

    These entries are part of an upcoming book about love and grief, in honor of Corey Considine, my beautiful younger daughter. She was with us in physical form from August 12,1983 to June 6, 2013. It was a vehicle accident, at the end of a beautiful sunset she had just watched from her favorite hill. She was engaged to a wonderful young man, dabbling in art, planting gardens, planning her wedding, offering love, care, and healing to everyone she knew.

    Since that time, those of us who love her have had to work hard to deal with our grief and to be sure that the sense of loss does not overpower the love. To find a way to let our love for Corey grow. When your beloved is no longer walking on this earth, the love you had for them does not stop.
    Love is stronger than death.
