The Mystery of Life and Death

All that we do

Is touched with ocean, yet we remain

On the shore of what we know.

-Richard Wilbur

With the Death of Gaye,

I yearn to know more.

What happens after Life?

Could it actually be the end?
In the spiritual power of faith, hope and love,
I want to believe the end of life is just the beginning.

But what is that like?

Does Gaye know my life today?

Does she know how much I love and miss her?
I do know she is finally free from the pain.
I also know, if there is a God,
her spiritual, caring and loving soul has been set free
from the limitations set by Life.
Gaye certainly earned it.
Never a Heart so True.

I yearn to know more....

What I can be fairly sure of,
from my own experiences and from experiences of others,
is that there is more going on in the universe
than we can detect with our five senses.

Of course, I will never know the answers to these questions,
but I play with them from time to time,
and trust that I will learn what I need to
know when I need to know it.

So in the meantime,
I stand on the shore and wonder....

....And have Faith
of a Soul set free....
