Chapter 5: Remembrance

What I started was a remembrance journal. A notebook where I could place my thoughts as I had them. Then, I started to write down everything that I heard.Simple right? Not as easy as one might think. It was an experience that I am grateful for and one that has taught me so much. I didn't so much want to write what I saw with my physical eyes- but what I saw a felt through my heart. You must,however, realize that my heart had a hole in it and was afraid to feel or to look at things. So, it was also I who must be willing to open myself up and Trust. I wrote down everything that I saw or heard.Then, I realized just how much we take for granted. A couple of examples might be---

*The sound of the soul mates wings as they fly overhead.
*Freedom
*How a ripple starts off small and then seems to expand out through eternity
*Trickle of water
*The sweet smell of the Earth

I could go on forever with my list, but these were just a few examples of the hundreds I now have.
The journal would be something that I would be able to always hold on to. It would help me to get a better understanding of all the beauty that surrounded me yet I took for granted. In learning about nature and reconnecting with the Great Spirit I found a greater sense of Self. Through the journal anytime I felt alone I would read it and the thoughts I had would instantly take me back to that moment in time that I wrote my feelings.It was also a major help because when I wanted to write I would have a reference to go back and look at.
I was hoping that through my journal I would be able to flip back through it and give the reader a more descriptive picture of how things were.
So, it is through my remembrance journal I shall now be able to guide you through my life experiences and lessons. What I saw through the my heart, geese, hawk, and every living being from the tiniest bug to the never ending sky.
