Where does the essence of a person go,
when the body dies?
It finds its way home
nestled into the heart of those
who knew them,
who loved them.
It is not lost
though the elements of body
return to their natural forms.
The light of one person is
the light of all.
It cannot go out.
It finds a new home
nestled into the heart of those
who knew them,
who loved them.
Where the love is great the
light shines brightest.
Consider,
how many hearts are illuminated
and warmed by one person’s light.
Take that as your comfort and
sustenance.
When the seeds of fear, grief and loss
threaten to overwhelm
consider
how many hearts are illuminated
and warmed by one person’s light.
Take that as your comfort and
sustenance.
