I know how the disappearance of some people can seem like the death of love itself. But that love is now expressed at a different level in a form closer to the divine will. And in order to be aligned with it, we must rise, transcend that which was weighting us down.
Some people chosed to sacrifice so that they give us no choice but to save ourselves and the ones they loved.
I know I am going to honor that with every breath. Because for me, there is no other choice but to protect this light they shine, no matter the cost. There is no more me and my pain or my selfish reasons after I've witnessed the presence of spirit, the power of love and the greatness of god's work outside of time and space. If you want to know God, look no further than the person sitting right next to you.
