Wingbeats

After Corey "passed on" to the other side, I began noticing wingbeats for the first time. The wingbeats are impossibly subtle: I feel them when my eyes are closed and I am in a dream-like state, not sleeping and not fully awake.

In the dark of night before the sun rose today, I lit incense in the kitchen. As I selected a second match to light a white candle in the living room, I felt the intensity of my determination to connect with Corey. But as I struck the match, the match head split in two and half of it went flying off. It was the perfect image of a flaming, out-of-control head. 

I took it as a sign that I might want to set my intentions more gently, and as I struck the next match, I simply said, "The angels go before me."

In the meditation, after my busy-mind thoughts floated off, I felt wingbeats. I turned my attention to the place where I felt the wingbeats, and realized the wingbeats were behind me. It was as if I was feeling the presence of someone who stands nearby but behind a door. Then it came to me that what I call wingbeats is just a name for the heartbeat of a person who is no longer in the flesh. What I call wingbeats is really the vibrational presence of Corey. She is here.

Yes!!! Over the past month here in the valley I have been visited by very rare animals... First by a mountain lion and just yesterday a ring tail cat! Corey knew how intimidated I was about the nature of this valley... How it was scary to me. Her deep connection to this place extends beyond her body into the life surrounding us. I see her in every beautiful creation of life... And I am grateful... From my travels east to the tip of Newfoundland to the shore of the Mendocino coast she is there... She is here...

Awesome, Satya, thanks SO much for making note of these keen observations of subtle realms and the intersection of the angelic with the animal kingdom. The connections are real. Blessed are they who know and speak of these things, so that others may have ears to hear and eyes to see. Thank you.

    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.
