MEMORY -
I never questioned Pete's spirituality or asked him questions about his faith. I never spoke of such things with him. I look back now, and I wonder why I didn't. We discussed so much about life, but the topic of spirituality never really came up in conversation.
APPLICATION -
Earlier today as I was waiting for my mani and pedi to dry, I began to relax in my chair and gaze out the window. The music in the background was soft and spa like, as the aroma in the salon was sweetly refreshing. It was easy to let go of thought and get lost in the present. Without having to "think"I began to feel a sense of overall knowledge come over me. A knowledge that Peter was very much alive, and alive within me. As I watched the trees outside sway in the wind, I enjoyed the brief moment of enlightenment, trying to hold grasp for as long as I could. Within seconds I got distracted and the moment was gone.
REFLECTION -
Although the moment in the Salon seemed pretty unrealistic, it was VERY real. For the first time since Peter has passed, I knew him in a way I had never know him before. For just a few seconds, I felt all that he was. He was alive, he was joy and he was love.
There was no need to ask Peter questions about spirituality. He lived a spiritual life through the goodness of his heart. Sometimes spiritually doesn't need to be spoken about, it just needs to be. It speaks for itself.
Pete and I had a few conversations about his faith - very interesting!
