Today,
We turn our hearts toward those whose journey ended too soon.
Those who left unexpectedly.
Those whose passing left deep sorrow within the family.
Perhaps through an accident,
A sudden illness,
War,
Violence,
Or events no one could have foreseen.
Sometimes these losses leave more than grief.
They leave a fear of living,
A fear of loving,
A fear of losing.
A fear that happiness cannot last without even realizing it.
We may carry pain that is not our own.
Fear that is not our own.
A destiny that was never meant to be ours.
Today.
We look upon all of this with love.
Because only what is acknowledged.
Can finally find peace.
Now return to your ancestral hall at its center.
Flows the source of the creator's light.
Its light is calm,
Warm,
Alive beside the source.
Stands the spirit of your mother.
Beside her.
Stands the spirit of your father behind them.
Stands your entire family line,
Your grandparents,
Your great-grandparents,
Every generation before you.
They are here for you.
Toward the other side of the hall.
This stand.
Those whose lives ended too soon.
Those whose passing changed the family forever.
Those whose names may have faded,
But whose place never disappeared.
Look at them.
With kindness and silently say.
I see you.
I honor your life.
I honor your journey.
I honor your pain.
You belong.
You have your place.
You are not forgotten.
Watch.
As your words reach them.
Peace begins to appear upon their faces.
They no longer need to be remembered.
Through the suffering of future generations.
They are seen.
They are acknowledged.
They are finally at peace.
From the source,
A gentle stream of love and light begins to flow.
It reaches every soul.
It asks no questions.
It judges no one.
It simply embraces,
Heals,
Comforts where there was fear.
Peace appears.
Where there was pain,
Light returns.
Where there was sudden loss.
Love gently remains.
Now your family turns toward you.
And speaks with one voice,
Our beloved one.
You do not have to carry our pain.
You do not have to repeat our destiny.
You do not have to live in our fear.
We honor those who left.
We love them.
We remember them.
Today.
We return your life to you.
Feel.
An invisible weight leaving your shoulders.
Old fears find their rightful place.
You are free.
To breathe deeply,
To love without fear,
To live without expecting tragedy.
To create your future.
Without caring the past.
Now your mother.
Steps Toward You She embraces you and says,
My child.
I wish you.
A long life.
Joy,
Peace,
Live bravely,
Live fully.
My heart blesses your path.
I am your father.
Places his hand upon your shoulder and says,
My child.
I bless your life.
Do not fear tomorrow.
Do not wait for tragedy.
Life can be safe.
Life can be beautiful.
May you live.
Every day that has been lovingly prepared for you.
Now your family raises their hands.
A blessing flows toward you.
And you hear live,
Love,
Create,
Laugh.
Build your family.
Enjoy your life.
We keep our own destinies with us.
You are free.
To live yours.
Now step.
Into the waters of the Creator's light.
Feel the light.
Flowing through your body,
Washing away.
Old fear,
Anxiety,
Tension.
Every cell.
Remembers Life is a gift,
Not a threat.
Slowly rise from the waters.
Beside you.
Dolphins appear.
They swim around you.
Their joy.
Reminds you.
That life can be like.
Can be joyful.
Can be safe.
A gentle smile appears upon your face.
And your heart.
Makes room for life.
Instead of fear.
Silently safe.
I honor.
Every loss within my family line.
I honor.
Every life I allow.
Every soul to rest in peace.
And I allow myself.
To live.
Freely.
With love.
With trust.
My life.
Belongs to me.
And I choose.
To live it.
