Rich and Vivid Life

Preparing for bed a couple of nights ago.  Expressing gratitude for being able to experience life with an integrated connection to the unseen. Wondering how to articulate to another what it feels like to live this way.  Immediately shown an analogy.  Imagining a person seeing the entire world without colour.  Solely in shades of black and white. Certainly functional, but fairly dull.  Then flipping a switch.  Allowing all the colours of the rainbow to be observed and factored in.  Adding a huge measure of intensity to all perceptions.  Bringing increased vibrancy to daily life.  If that individual were then to incorporate the additional layer of gaining information through intuition and spirit connection, he would experience yet another magnificent shift.  Just as dramatic as the first.  Resulting in an even richer and more vivid life. 

Missing Leg

As I sat on the examining table in my doctor's office awaiting a routine procedure, I reflected on the comment she had made a few moments before.  A mother herself, she had shared that she could not imagine what it would feel like to lose a child.  I was looking down at my legs hanging off the edge of the table when an analogy jumped into my mind.   I have two healthy legs I depend on, and hope they will be available to me for a long time.  If I were to have one amputated today, I do not know what it would feel like but there is no question that I would carry on and learn how to get around with only one leg.  People do. However, there would be very few moments in a day when I would not be thinking about that missing leg.  I imagine this would ease over time but it would never be forgotten.
