“Am I done now?” I ask.
Half-hoping yes. Half-hoping no.
“I’ve taught my students,
raised fine sons until they were grown,
written my books,
taken my photos,
lived through the highs,
and survived the lows.
I’ve climbed enough mountains
and seen my share of rainbows.
So am I done now?” I ask.
“I want to know.”

And Love answers:
“There’s no end to Me 
and so there’s no end to you.
You’re where you’ll always be –
in Love unchanging, always new.
You will never be done
reflecting Love’s love –
whether you’re in the valley below
or flying in clouds above.
So don’t worry about what’s next.
You’re where you need to be now –
enjoy these moments you have here –
beyond the when or what or how.”

A Year Ago

A year ago today I was your midwife
as you labored through the transition
from this room to the next.
You worked hard to pass through
those doors – there was fear
about what lay on the other side –
but in the end you smiled and said,
“Okay.” And when you passed by me
as I slept I could feel your love and joy.
As the doors opened for you
I was touched by the light streaming
from the room beyond. Such peace.

It has been a year now. The time
has gone quickly. And someday it will be
five years, then ten, then twenty years
since I last saw you in this room. But
your presence will be with me still. Then
and now and forever.

“This is the doctrine of Christian Science: that divine Love cannot be deprived of its manifestation, or object; that joy cannot be turned into sorrow, for sorrow is not the master of joy; that good can never produce evil; that matter can never produce mind nor life result in death.”
– Mary Baker Eddy
