I am reflecting on what I learned from my friend who passed away last week.
The interesting thing about this passing is that it was a surprise to everyone. It caught everyone off guard. It was like I just talked with him this morning and now he is gone - I will never be able to talk with him again in person, and I was just getting to know him. From what I heard, he simply coughed really loudly and then passed. That was it, he is gone. It is challenging for me to accept that he died from a cough. so this reminds me that anyone can die at any time so make the best of your connections with people every moment you get to make them.
During this process I got selected to clean out his room, remove his stuff and to find it a new home. I get to take all the stuff out, clear the room and prepare it for the next person that gets to move in. I want to clear the energy of the room as much as I can so the person moving into it can feel life instead death.
I get the concept of humility, but I feel that people can deny who they are or just share their experiences with their world in behind humble. I am not into bragging or putting people down. I am into sharing and inspiring. I am inspired by peoples' accomplishments and experiences. I get to know about them and I learn that I can do it to.
So in cleaning out his room, I learned that he was very organized and meticulous. I know that these can be an announcing traits, but I am kind of messy so I can use some of his organization in my life. I was impressing. Literally everything was in its place and labeled. I want that. I have tried to do that for years. I want to make this a priority to achieve this level of organization because it allows me to have a clear field.
I learned that he loved Star Trek, Conversations with God, and wood framed houses. I am learning more about him from his books than I have ever learned from him. I love wood framed houses. I appreciate small/tinny homes and environmentally sustainable homes.
I learned that he published a book on his connection with Spirit (The Force). I am so impressed.
I am learning so much about this person that floated around on the exterior of my life from his room than I had ever learned from him whilst he was a live.
I am learning that we all need to share our gifts, lessons and experiences with each other in an uplifting and inspiring way. This is why I think I am learning to appreciate threads, forums and blogs. I was a very private person before and now I am learning that is lonely life.
I have learned that a major key to happiness is connection with a community. I feel the three keys to happiness are choice, community, and supplements, lol.
I miss my friend. I am still letting my process happen. I am honored that I get to care for his stuff. and I feel that there is a lesson here that I am inspired to share with you all.
Share your life's stories with people!
