Joe, I had what I call a near, near death experience. I was alone and although I could not get a breath in or out, was not able to speak to call for help, I was filled with peace and a total lack of urgency or fear. If I had imagined that happening before that experience I would have predicted being frantic and fear-filled. The experience of life lived from the perspective of separation is much more frightening then being at one with what is, even the prospect of imminent death.
Yes Carol, life itself… I started to list while sitting here, all that’s around me I am grateful for…a lot right now has to do with the fact it’s 75 degrees and sunny! Ladybugs flying amongst wasps, A bird chirping; I have not heard that in days! I looked fear in the face and said yes to getting some art together today, for the windows of a local bank for an art walk, and there was much gratitude on both sides for doing this. A wee sense of normalcy? Not really just grateful, and hopeful we can all find a moment to smile and find something each day that brings us hope. Thank you Keshav for asking this question. Namaste all. Love you.
When I am a part of a near death experience, I can feel myself energetically bowing to the universe. The reminder for gratitude is profound. Mind has no place to create a story when immediately confronted with impermanence.
