I wrote this in early 2011, shortly after the transition of a most beautiful woman, sister, daughter of our friend(s) which was months before Ruthie Lou arrived but while she was in my belly. I was overwhelmed with pain, sadness & disbelief at the loss of such a unique soul yet somehow had this glimpse into what my God is, what life is because of her life. I have reflected on this piece so many times as I have walked this journey of two years. It amazes me tha I had the insight to write this without having any idea the turn my life would soon take. It's moments like this that solidify my faith of "what is"... "I believe in a God that is loving. I believe that our human experience is only one small part in the life of our soul and it does not begin nor end on the day of our birth or death. I believe that our human life is short. Often times shorter than we could ever imagine. It is my own personal responsibility to live and love in a way that everyday I am spiritually fulfilled and proud of who I am and who I am eternally becoming. I believe that people make daily choices in their life. From the moment I wake until I lay my head back on my pillow at night, my choices should be well thought out and only made with good intentions. I believe that we are responsible only for oursleves. I can only control my own actions and reactions to experiences and events in my life. I believe that all people are beautiful, pure and have good intentions. I make mistakes but am clear to always learn the lesson and try better next time. I believe that very unfortunate things happen to very good people everyday without reasons known to us. Everyday I have the gift of choice of what I will learn from my experiences and how I will respond to lifes greatest as wells as most unfortunate events. My God is pure, loving, accepting and warm. There is only love." -2011 Two years later I am more certain than ever, there is only love. All my love to you, wherever you are on your own journey.
