Hi, Molissa,

Believe it or not, I actually have been away from my computer today; I just sat down after dinner to "see" what's going on!

As a matter of fact, you're making a lot of sense.  A day or two ago, Karlene said something about "letting it happen", and I told her that David had said the same thing, in those words, a day or two earlier!  The temptation, as a human, I guess, IS to try to analyze, understand, and make sense of things in terms that we're used to.  But I have gotten a strong sense that that's not what I'm supposed to be doing, at least for the time being.  What I need to do, for the most part, is to simply watch, see what's said, see what symbols appear, and when, and just try to absorb.  On a number of occasions (it's happened in a big way several times in the past few days), I've had those "ah-hah!" moments in which something suddenly makes sense (and then I think, "Duh--how did I not realize that before?!").  And I still understand that I STILL might not really get it completely, but I think I'm making some progress.  I'm getting the impression that it's a very complicated world "out there"--much more so than it's comfortable to think.  I'll be lucky if it takes a lifetime...

Just something that I meant to add on this topic--at times, rather than just seeing a single eye within the arrow/triangle, I seem to see a whole, "living", moving face.  Let it happen...

Thanks!

You know, on re-reading my last post I can't help but think how this all can start to sound so heavy and esoteric and devoid of any kind of concrete meaning.  That's fine--I know that there's a point in all of it, and that I'm learning, but my favorite moments are actually those in which David is "my David" from (oh my God) almost 19 years ago--he'll crack a joke, or even say something slightly off-color, and make me crack up, just as he used to do.  That's when I'm even happier with all of this!  I don't feel the need to make it all deep, dark, and heavy all the time.  If he and I lose our senses of humor (his was great, even when he was at death's door), then we're lost, I think.

that's when I say BINGO!!
If I didn't have my sense of humor I wouldn't/couldn't have lived this long.
I think this whole "thing", yours, mine, ours, this "thing" we all share, these gifts, this lifetime (and all to come) are meant to have joy.  I think sometimes enjoying the experiences of our gifts are to be just that, joy.  The age old question of what is the meaning of life - I've always felt I knew that answer.  for me anyway.  It's to Live Laugh Love and Learn.
just my thoughts....
(Hi Doe)

I totally agree!  And the last post I wrote just reminded me of something else (my--how I do go on!) that David said yesterday...something like, "A lot of people want to talk to spirits, but you don't lose your sense of who they were as people."  I think it's a really important thing to remember--that spirits are people who were once, living, thinking, feeling people, and that they retain much of who they were after they've died.  Treating them as dark, frightening, mysterious creatures must be hurtful.  I hope that, once I kick the bucket, someone will remember that, and let me make a joke or two without getting totally freaked out (even if my jokes aren't all that funny   )!

Hi Doe,
Once you kick the bucket, I promise to never be freaked out and remember all of your jokes and helpfulness as long as you come and make my coffee, since D can't, being to busy with you. LOL
I try being funny.

Lots of love
Karlene
