Believe and Shine

There are times when life moments blend in ways that transform our understanding and the emotions tied to words forever.  I’d been reading scriptures out loud to him, looked up and realized he was passing as the sunlight “shined” on his bed.  I told him not to be afraid, but to go with the light.  Friday, I stood in the Indian Orthodox Church before my talk listening to the prayers and chants in a language I didn’t understand, but instantly was drawn back to the sunlight in his room as I held his hand and felt a warmth as he died.  Shine - you could hear it in their chants, see it in their eyes, and feel it in the warmth surrounding all.  Believe and shine!
