WHEN I AM DEAD 7 July 2013 Friend when I’m dead will you talk to me now and then if in a random moment I cross your mind? I would be grateful beyond the grave. Owl |

Would you really? That is my hope, my dear Diana! I believe that everything becomes transparent once we are back Home. But there is no need to wait for that moment or is there? I have lost my very dear friend Gertrud just a month ago and I do continue to talk to her. This is a beautiful thought, though it may be born by a moment of melancholy. Margherita |

As I said in the other poem, you will not be gone as long as people will remember you. You have put in a request, and i know you will have many takers. I am one of them. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

I think of you now, wondering what you would think or say sometimes. I talk to the passed as they come to mind already. No worries Owl. Lori  |

my 'belief' is that we are each and all spirit (energy/consciousness) beings only temporarily (partially) contained by this 'mortal coil.' We are integral parts of a larger planetary/biospheric (Gaia) consciousness and a Universal Akasian field of energy/consciousness with which even now we can interact by conscious intent to (positively) effect things, people, and the outcome of 'events' around us. Many, MANY 'spirit beings' such as I will always remember you fondly ... and, my conception of 'heaven' is even one or more of the 'still living' holding you in his/her heart ... --- bruce, (Geo-poet; 'natural philosopher'/'accidental' Buddhist) |

Oh,yes indeed.I think of you quite often now, so it will never be different when you are gone. But I have to say, I will be gone long before you, so sending your plea right back to you. We must so live our lives that we will be missed by some and hopefully by many and that the many are those we also would miss. Love, Jo |

Oh, Martyjo, though we never know what surprises await us around the corner and I could drop dead from a VERY unexpected heart attack tomorrow, the thought of no Martyjo has the tears welling in my eyes. I think of you often too (thank you for thinking of me) and will certainly talk to you (as I do to Kacy) often if you do go before me. I wish I had more time to chat to you via emails - I don't regret working so hard - just the fact that I need to - I have never been one of those who works best under stress and I don't need stress to motivate me - if anything, stress sets me into a panic and demotivates me, lol! Thank you, Martyjo, for your wonderful friendship and your kind, compassionate reply and thank you for being Martyjo. Owl Owl |

As for me, I recall you even now, when you're alive and don't guess, that I talk to you in my thoughts ) |

Thank you, Gale and Karilea, for your beautiful replies. I am still reeling from the shock of hearing about Helen, so please forgive my probably abrupt response. Owl |
