Hello, blog friends!
The season is changing, and magic is in the air! Yes, summer is finally taking leave. Colleen Chesebro invites us to write a syllabic poem to celebrate this change. I've created two tanka, inspired by the autumn sunsets.
This is my favorite time of the year. The skies are alive, and everyone seems relieved by the cool winds. Creatures, large and small, have returned - the pronghorn and geese, foxes and rabbits, and birds of all sizes and shades. Nature's orchestra has begun its song.

Last week I mentioned a unique gathering in Phoenix - the IANDS (International Association for Near Death Studies) conference. I attended one day in person and another live-streamed. The experience left me in awe of the gift of life. Many medical professionals (surgeons, general practitioners, nurses) attended. And, as well, those who had a Near Death Experience. This was an evidence-based gathering.
What are my take-aways? I've many, but here are three that stand out for me: (1) The NDE experience is transformative. When people recover from the death experience, they change their lives - often dramatically. (2) Love is at the core of creation, and we can begin to experience that Love in our lives now. (3) Life is eternal.
The presenters often mentioned nature as a means of touching into the realm of Love. They spoke of the difficulty of using words to describe their experience. They explained repeatedly that in the heavenly or celestial or Love realm, our human words cannot adequately capture the felt emotions.
I remain deeply moved by my experiences at this conference, and I look forward to attending such gatherings in the future.
Have a wonderful week, dear friends! ❤️
