""A wisdom that can only be summoned at the times of Birth and Death. May we evoke a remembrance of these past experiences, with our inner workings and ancestors knowledge>>> rather than the fear we are programed for. May we continue to remember birth is not a medical condition and nor is death. If we were all gifted the TIME, to tap into our inner guidance… I believe this sacred practice would arise naturally. We spend weeks, days, months and years caring for our loves>>> sometimes its a wink of a second that our favorite beings depart. We were not ready to stop COLD TURKEY. Wishing for time that was not turned over to some, well meaning mortuaries. We cared for our matriarch goddess, part and parcel of our infinite First Mother. Her healing room confronted us all with the lessons that fear of death provide. This time gave us all the freedom to worship her transforming spirit >>> in AWE... with prayers, washing, dressing, tears, smiles, memories and so may wonderments that I have no significant words to describe. The nature of home funerals can even be witnessed at convalescent homes and hospitals. Our dear friend, has healed many <<< in one of the oldest rights of passage>>> from war back to home!!! I have been seeking this knowledge for some time, and the gift of FULL CIRCLE of LIVING AND DYING has gifted my life... NOW, and will serve my loves after my death. I am on my knees, thankful for the spirit souls that spearheaded this awakening in Nevada County !!!!"
