It should be so obvious: <br />all the ‘eternal values’ which we may see <br />as worthwhile in our life – <br />these, we share with those who’ve gone before.. <br />what else more worth the sharing? <br /> <br />and share, more closely than we know to seek: <br />those whose ‘loss’ to us we mourn – <br />especially those so recently thought ‘lost’ to us – <br />they are the ones still closest to us: <br /> <br />they delight to hear from us, chatting in our heart; <br />in their eternity, so willing to forgive if we but ask; <br />need no medium, planchette or ectoplasm <br />to be contacted; if we but wish; <br /> <br />and in the wisdom of eternity which they share <br />with us within our inmost heart, <br />so eager now to give, and to forgive, and give again: <br /> <br />beloved teachers, to continue so to teach; <br />beloved ones, to continue so to feed, draw out our heart with love.. <br /> <br />then share eternity, and live! <br />it should be so obvious.. <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />[from the Shaivite teachings]<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sharing-eternity-for-the-sorrowing/
