Today, for example, I started to write about near death experiences. It's something I've been reading about lately. I also found myself online, perusing various articles about a whole host of experiences. Trying to get an overall feel for the topic. But I just erased everything I wrote.
I'm not sure I want to go there today. But I seem to be drawn to wonder about that inevitable time when we are no longer walking the earth. My takeaway is that, after life experiences are closely tied to one's personal beliefs. If you're a Christian, you get Jesus and angels, if you're of another faith, you see the God you've prayed to. Most of the experiences were positive, which is nice to know. I talk to deceased folks a lot. And I feel them with me. Good feelings, like peace and wisdom and quiet joy and, most importantly, I feel their support. Is this just because I believe or because they are real? What is real?
But there I go, off the rails again. I didn't want to write about this today. But now I have. So I guess I believe that there is some compelling reason for this choice of topic. Maybe I need to remind myself to be present. To pay attention to the here and now. To live for the moment, not look ahead to what may or may not be. Let the future take care of itself.
Be here now. (My personal mantra.)
To anyone who chooses to read my ramblings today, I apologize. I hope you are in a good place today and that you are warm and safe and dry and able to count your blessings.
I'm counting mine now. And no, I'm not going to look at the weather forecast!
