Dear Ivan,
I deeply appreciate your sharing of your personal stories here. Know that these last conversations with your mother will be the bearer of riches for you forever…indeed all the trying days which you are now passing through. The veils between worlds are very thin just now for many, but especially for you personally. Your story also brings back memories of the last months with my own mother, and some of the truly mystical and magical events which characterized that time. Always remember the value of personal stories!
As William Stafford said in his poem ” An Introduction to Literature”
“…Just as in sleep you have to dream the exact dream to round out your life,
so we have to live that dream into stories
and hold them close at you, close at the edge we share, to be right. …”
WHAT IF…WHAT IF…we share our stories…hold them out to each other here in cyberspace? What if?
