SOOTHING SEA!

Do you find it as soothing as I do to gaze out to sea and imagine just how fathomless it is?

There's a whole universe concealed within its depths. I have a sense of awe when I try to consider the size of that universe. But it's too vast for my limited vision - just as the sky is too vast when I raise my eyes to the stars.

While surrounded by so much that's awesome in our lives, it isn't such a big jump, is it, to feel secure in the knowledge - or at least to believe - that there's further cause for awe awaiting us after we die?

YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT IS AFTER DEATH

Do you love these words from Fiddler On The Roof as much as I do?

‘Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the years; one season following another, laden with happiness and tears … ‘

It’s so true, isn’t it, that time flies swiftly by? Maybe you find, like I do, that the years seem to fly by faster and faster as we age. I remember my parents saying, when I was a teenager, that they still felt exactly the same on the inside as they did in their teens. I confess to not quite believing them!

But I certainly believe them now that I am somewhat older than they were then. I now know that I’m ageless within. It’s solely on the outside that we show the passing of the years.

So, our bodies age while our souls retain their original state …

It surely follows, then, that upon death our soul simply discards the body that is no longer wanted or needed and returns whence it came.

Do you agree – or do you have other views that you’d like to share either here or via Face Book? I’d love to hear your thoughts on what is after death! 

P.S. I'm excited to tell you that THE FOREIGNER (a novel I truly believe my charismatic grandmother helped me write after she died) has just become available here.
