Every Day Has a Spiritual Lesson

If we see this lifetime as our soul’s opportunity to grow, we can look at the subtle and big events of life here, and ask, “What did I learn from this?” The big event of a death forces us to question it all. And what’s there every day to notice, if we ask “What do you want me to know today?”

My son’s dog, Luka, was struck by a car, and died three days ago. Ouch. Ache. Pain. Trying to make sense of it all from a bigger picture perspective. Why? Why all this pain? I spotted a hummingbird a few days after, resting on a branch. I stopped and quietly asked it, “What do you want me know about grief? About Luka?” Then I heard…..”I’m still here! I’m still here! I see you! Wiggling, wagging, happy.” Maybe that’s a lesson with loss. Even though the body goes, their spirit is here amongst us and they are happy in heaven or the other side. Then, a single, beautiful, pink boungenvilla leaf floated down in front of my face, slowly to the ground. And I heard, “This is life. Sometimes we let go, even at the height of our beauty. It’s all part of the plan.”
