All of us have experienced the passing of a loved one. There are varied beliefs about what happens when we die but most of us cling to “going to a better place”.
Your Mom always says that we keep “coming back” until we get it right. I’m not sure what “right” is but I’m sure it has something to do with “righteous” and caring for fellow human beings.
And so it goes. Lots of theories about what happens when we die. We have Bibles and Korans to convey written word. Nobody really knows.
I had lunch with a friend who recently lost his wife. He introduced me to “orbes”. They are actually a product of cell phone technology. When taking a picture with your cell phone, there is a quick preliminary flash before the major flash in taking a picture. That early flash most times captures bright round objects (sometimes framed with a halo). They actually look like tiny, tiny, suns or moons. The theory is that when someone dies, their energy converts to other forms and can become orbes. So maybe your Grandma is in the cell phone in your hand or back pocket. That orb captured on your cell is her watching and guiding you through you life. In fact your whole life is surrounded by bodies of orbes. I don’t pass judgement on this stuff, I just report it. If you take solace in the fact loved ones never leave you, they just take the form of an energy or an orb, who am I am to dispel the comforting thought?
I know nothing about the nature of “orb energy”. It seems to me that if “orbes” bring you comfort and purpose in life, go with it.
My “friend” had a sparkle in his eyes when he talked of “orbes” and the possibility that his wife always with him. It gives new meaning to “together forever”. For ever and ever! Ever! An orb on my shoulder says “ACE stop it.!
Octoberfest in Appleton this weekend. Old vintage cars worth millions rumbling through the streets.
For those who haven’t noticed, it is Fall.
Love,
