Monday

It was a transformational presence of peace, comfort, serenity, love and home.

I was no longer confused. I was no longer alone. I could feel embedded trauma, regret and loss washing away.

I experienced the presence of God. It was overwhelming and occurred in a way that I just don’t have language to fully describe.

There’s no question in my mind that I went to ‘the other side’, and merged with and had a conversation with the Creator of all that is. I returned with a fraction of that unconditional love, which has never left me.

Doesn't this sound like everything will be all right? That whatever mechanism caused life to emerge from inanimate matter prevails in the end?
