transient dweller--eternal spirit
Hey_Jude
For all Those Who Have Lost a Loved One
by Rev. Paulson from a Unity Church
They know me not who think that I am only flesh and bones-
A transient dweller on this fragile earth that gave me form.
For I am Spirit, Eternal, indestructible not confident in matter.
And when my sojourn here is through,
My roles fullfilled, my assignments done,
I lay aside this expression called my body and move on
To other mansions, roles, assignments, in our Father's home
of eternal life.
So dry your tears
Weep not overmuch for me..., Or for yourself.
Set me free in the Love that holds us all and makes us live eternally.
Our paths will cross again,
Our minds and hearts will touch,
Our souls will shout with joy and laughter as we rejoice
in the lives we lived, the worlds we've seen, the path we trod
to find ourselves, at last, in God.
My spoken words about Mom after reading the poem at her funeral
Despite the sadness that we often associate with this occasion, we can remember the qualities that Mom expressed humanly: joy, love, vitality, intelligence--they were manifestations of her true identity as a spiritual idea. These qualities can never die. They're eternal because they from from God. A spiritual idea cannot die, so we need to keep going forward in our growth just as she is on some other level.
