126. Another DUer posted this poem awhile back and I have used it often since.

May 2012

May it help you find comfort in the midst of your sorrow. Great love and blessings.

ASCENSION

And if I go while you’re still here,
Know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure
Behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
Both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest—
And, when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart.
I will be there.

--Colleen Hitchcock
