Go Back and Live …

 

Art by Amanda Cass

Many of my friends have recently experienced the death of a loved one. I am learning from their experiences, my study of metaphysics, and random writings such as these I share with you today:


YOU’RE THE GHOST- written by Donna Ashworth


There’s a part of the grieving process,

where your soul kind of leaves your body too. 

As though it’s off searching for the one you lost, 

somewhere in the ether. 


You walk around, 

doing all the right things, 

putting one foot in front of the other, 

living,

but it’s really as though you’re the ghost. 


Perhaps you are. 

Perhaps your soul searches,

until you find the one you miss,

and they tell you to go back and live.


So, when that numbness passes brave one, 

maybe it’s time to do what you are told,

go back and live, 

twice as hard. 


You don’t belong there in the ether, 

nor do you need to search for the one you lost, 

they find you.

And when they do, you’ll feel it. 


By Donna Ashworth

From ‘I Wish I knew’


“We honor you today. Yours is the right to perfect holiness you now accept. With this acceptance is salvation brought to everyone, for who could cherish sin when holiness like this has blessed the world? Who could despair when perfect joy is yours, available to all as remedy for grief and misery, all sense of loss, and for complete escape from sin and guilt?” 

A Course in Miracles W-162.5:1-4


“If grief causes suffering, convince the sufferer that affliction is often the source of joy, and that he should rejoice always in ever-present Love.” 

Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures Page 377:3-5
