A Little Bit of WooWoo Going On??

After posting about the emergence of the butterfly I've been watching, I went to TTBook.com to listen to a story I only heard a bit of while driving this afternoon.  This is what I found. It is a snippet of the near death experience Dr. Eben Alexander had in 2008.


"And then there appeared this beautiful spinning kind of filamentous white light, and it was absolutely beautiful flowing harmonious melody.  And this melody spun in front of me and then the whole thing expanded and my awareness went right through it into this very steep valley, verdant beautiful valley.  I was a speck on a butterfly wing, a beautiful butterfly, and there were millions of other butterflies flying all around us in these lazy loops and swirls.  There were flowers blossoming and buds blooming on trees. They would blossom and bloom even as we were flying through them.  Beautiful waterfalls going into these crystal blue pools, and the mist coming up just sparkling.  And this bright light from these billowing, bubbling clouds was just coming right through those mist drops, and it was the most beautiful scene.  And beside me on the butterfly, was this beautiful girl.  She had the most beautiful face and she just looked at me and she never said a word, but her thoughts were very clear.  “You are loved.  You are cherished.  There is nothing you can do wrong.  You will never be thrown away.  You are infinitely cherished and loved forever.  You have nothing to fear.”  [ Eben Alexander is a Neurosurgeon in Charlottesville, Virginia.  If you want to hear more of his story, visit our website ttbook.org]

Coincidence? 
I mean, seriously, all the butterfly references on the same day my butterfly was born? 
And "you have nothing to fear" shortly after my fear-busting experience?
I think there's a message for me here. 
I'll have to spend some quiet time thinking about it.

What do you think?
Merry ME

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur
