Nor could I have imagined that afterward I would spend the rest of my life explaining that death does not exist. - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Yes, I have a plan for the day, I will go to work, I will mow the lawn, et cetera. But I surrender to the knowledge that my plans are just a working blueprint. There will be changes, paths I didn't expect. Wonderful surprises, maybe scary surprises. There will be situations that will lead me on new journeys. I trust that all this will lead me in a direction that will bring my being, my soul, to its greatest unfolding.

You may also be angry with yourself that you couldn’t stop it from happening. Not that you had the power, but you had the will. The will to save a life is not the power to stop a death.

Trying to find out who you are will lead you to the work you need to do, the lessons you need to learn. When our inner and outer beings are one, we no longer need to hide, fear, or protect ourselves. We see who we are as something that transcends our circumstances.
