A Balanced Approach to Wellness!

mortality

a few days ago a man died who was a mentor to one of my sons

the night he died he came to me to deliver a message

he whispered to me that his passing from life to not-life felt natural

natural like waking in the morning

natural like watching the clouds go by

natural like humming a beloved song

natural like fearing the prick of the needle administering the life-saving formula

he’s with me now as I write

he says that his life was full and he loved his wife

he says his life was difficult because he was unsure of his direction

he says he hid his struggle with busyness

he says he learned more from the people who questioned their paths because they helped him understand his faith

he says that family is everything

he will only stay with me to help me finish his messages and then he will move on to support the people he left behind

he reminds me to make time for friends (something he would have changed had he understood his mortality)
