Not Religious

source

I really don’t consider myself a religious person. I don’t think any of my close friends would label me that way either. However, I do feel I have a deep spiritual side and I believe we existed before we came here to get a body and we will exist when we leave here without our body.

The other day when I made the goal to find my 100 favorite songs, they were all over the map. I had honky- tonk, opera, pop, kids songs and some hymns. The list could go way beyond 100. 

Then I thought – it’s not just the song, it’s the song in right moment. Today I am trying to come to terms with the many losses we have experienced and for awhile today I was really angry.  Then it occurred to me, while I am sad and lonely here, my loved ones may be very happy where they are.

If they ever get to peak through that thin veil that keeps us apart, are they saddened by my tears and lack of patience. Do they inspire other to visit, reach out and seek to make me feel loved? Do I respond?

There are so many questions, and today I felt like I needed forgiveness. This song found me.
