Understanding

Intellect has not the power
Nor logic depth of insight
To understand the simple truth
Of life's essential purpose
The heart is nearer than reason by far
Our feelings reveal us for what we are.

Words of encouragement (from beyond the grave)

Do not fear death
It is but a passing
Do not be fearful of life
For all will be well
You are loved, more than you know
Just for who you are
Like a parent loves a child
Without condition.

Enjoy your life
And experience all you can
Open yourself to love
Whether it be from others to you
Or from you to others
Be open to the beauty around you
Cherish each moment
Be happy!

Try not to be jealous of what others have
For all material things are transient
Be content
Strive to be kind to others
Do not use them for your own gain or pleasure
Be generous in love
And not self-seeking
Cause no hurt.

Like the child in the womb you are developing
In readiness for the next stage
Uncertainty will pass
Understanding will come
Be tolerant of others’ beliefs
But do not feel obliged to conform to them
For no one has the monopoly of the truth
You are free to think for yourself.

You will not be judged
But you will measure yourself
Against the person you could have been
Death is not the end
It is simply the beginning of the next phase
So fear not.
Remember you are loved
Be gentle with yourself.
