Look for the Dimes

A friend of mine lost someone to suicide two weeks ago. After reading her blog, and how she was struggling with his death, I wrote this as a response.

I think that mankind's fall from grace was when we began to think that we are seperate from each other. When we devloped the ego. That's the big curse we carry. The belief that we are seperate from the world around us, that we are seperate from one another. We are not you know. We are made of the same stuff the universe is made of. Everything that is here, the other living creatures, the trees, even the rocks and dirt under are feet are our brothers and sisters. Everything is part of the same creation. Yes, your friend as you knew him, not longer inhabits this world in the form you knew. You make think he is silent, he isn't.

Your friend has returned to his original state. When someones leaves us, we wonder where they have gone, where they are. We never ask where they were before they were here. Where was I before "here?" Where we were and were we are going is the same place.

Look for the signs that he is talking to you from that place. Don't listen for a voice, you won't hear it. Look, listen, become aware of everything around you. That is how you will find him.

A friend of mine believes that her departed loved ones leave dimes for her to find. How often do you find a dime? Probably not often. Pennies we find everywhere, dimes are rarer. If you believe that your friend can leave little signs for you, you will find them. He will find new ways to reach out and talk to you.

Look for the dimes.
