Great piece, Carolina. Your piece invited me into the experience of that apparent-but-not-necessary contradiction between meeting the pain of the circumstance, while staying connected to the wholeness, the light, the self-beyond-self.

As your friend told you, the day before she died,

"I Am Well"

As you said, "She had invited me into the wholeness of her being—free, luminous, beyond the suffering body."

Wow. What a gift.

Thank you

It was indeed a beautiful gift!! I loved what you shared: apparent but not necessary contradiction. We are so full for either/or and she definitely thought me that the light can co exist with everything, if we choose to. it’s more about both/and :) Thanks for your comment!
