Remembrance
~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you ever think what happens to us when we cross over, when we go to the other side.
I do not mean our bodies, the bones, the flesh that once housed our soul and Spirit. That house of bone and flesh is now an
unoccupied dwelling of unimportance. If we kept the faith, our Soul and our Spirit are in the Heavenly Lodge with Grandfather,
the Great Spirit. What happens to the memory of us, or, is there really one. I do not mean that life with the others that
remain behind, our loved ones, our friends, to come to an end as ours, I do not mean for there to be statues or monuments
of enormity to be built in our remembrance. Will we be missed because we no longer can be depended upon for financial assistance.
Will someone be lost, mentally because we are not around to do favors for them. Will the warmth of our bodies be missed, will
our intelligence be lost, the mental and emotional and physical support. Was that truly appreciated while we were here on
Earth, maybe this is not an area that should be thought of. We feel while we are here, at least those of us with feelings
that we do others as we would like to have been done but how many times was the support and the love returned. Not that it
is given with expectation of being paid back but did we cast our love, the warmth from within our heart, the feelings from
within our soul, on the winds, on the sands of the desert.
Yes, when we first cross over to the other side there is weeping, there is the loneliness,
there is a void but after our earthly abode that was for our Soul and Spirit is covered with dirt or cremated, whichever is
our desire, whichever that may be which is an individual decision. After the burial, memorial, the eulogy and all go home
to their structural abode do they just go back into the flow, the mainstream. Does it make any difference or is the subject
being touched upon one that should be left alone. This should not make any difference if we are well within our heart and
our mind, if we are well within our thoughts, our Soul and our Spirit that we gave, we gave willingly, we gave with all we
had to give. The warmth of our soul, the warmth of our body, the vibrations of our Spirit, the support, the financial support,
the support of being a friend during happy times, during sad times. When someone is glad they wish to share it, when we are
glad we wish to share that. Has there been someone around to share love and happiness and laughter and tears and fears and
sadness, share, sharing me to you and you to me or was it all one sided. I do not mean to cause a burden upon ones heart or
upon ones mind. I do not mean for us to change if we are doing the right thing for others. I do feel that we should change
if we are not like the playing of the flute.
We all should give forth our best and our most and after that Soul and Spirit has crossed
over and now dwells in the Heavenly Lodge, we look back and we are looked back up. We are remembered in the person's heart
and soul and depth of their inward being. We are remembered unless we are being used, used as stair steps or a ladder for
support whether it be financial, intellectual, spiritual. I do not mean for us the ones that have crossed over to the other
side to be any different while we are here on Earth, on Mother Earth. I am talking about how us as individuals that are left
here should treat those while they are here with respect, consideration, appreciation,
returned love, returned financial and physical and mental and emotional support. Those
of us left behind should remember the good things of the Soul and the Spirit that we no longer have, there should be a remembrance
in our hearts. We should write upon our soul and our minds with red ink from our own heart that person's name. We should write
an eternal eulogy within our mind and soul.
Let us not forget, let us not make light of love, of the seconds, the minutes, the days,
the weeks, the months, the years that we spend enjoying another’s company. Let us not put aside the mental and emotional
pictures that we have taken. Pictures taken by our heart to be preserved forever and ever. Those pictures cannot be carried
away by flood waters, destroyed by fire, ripped to shreds by violent winds, they cannot be stolen as only materialistic things
can be stolen. Those wonderful pictures that we take with our Soul and our Spirit, the camera of our heart, the camera of
our eyes will never fade, will never discolor, will never crack or get wrinkled. Do not let someone go to the other side without
showing them while they are here our love and our appreciation and our respect and when they go to the other side let us keep
the album of all of the pictures that are within ourselves. You hear many times in this life here on Earth, when the use of
time is very important, that a second gone is a minute lost. You can never call back yesterday. If we have this album and
we have these pictures, we have these memories, yesterday is not lost. If we live today with the knowledge that we could lose
a loved one or a friend or an acquaintance at any time we should always be appreciative to Grandfather for loaning us that
individual for whatever time we have to enjoy them because we do not know, we do not know how much time we are allotted.
The animals that walk beside of us, Grandfather gives us these friends. They ask very
little of us, they only ask for food and water and a gentle stroke or a pat on the head, a kind word once in awhile. After
all it is a gift from Grandfather, these pets, these beasts of burden, they are gifts from Grandfather, honor them, respect
them, be kind to them. Grandfather gives us things to eat if we are hungry and if we need to take a bird from the air, a fish
from the waters, one of the animals, one of the creatures that walk beside of us in life. We explain to Grandfather that we
are hungry, if need be he does not mind if we take it but we make the circle back to appreciation of another human that gives
us love, that gives us support, that gives us feelings, that gives us, that gives us, that gives us and all that individual
wishes in return is maybe two things. One, be appreciative, number two, pass it on. Give somebody else some happiness, some
joy, a smile on their lips and they will pass it on and it will be passed on, passed on and passed on and that is the remembrance,
the memorial, the statue of that person, that human that is now on the other side and now with the Heavenly Council.
(E Me Nv) Amen, Ho
