Just after my Mom passed, when I was searching for her presence everywhere, a little female cardinal took up roost on our birdfeeder. She kept noticing me, noticing her, and I just know that was my Mom's spirit trying to communicate with me on some level. I think she was trying to tell me that it is OK to grieve, that she was still there listening to me, and that it was OK to move on with my life, cherishing the good memories, and luckily the bad memories could just fade away (as our memory of pain will do over time...contemplating her pain at the end kept me from sleep for weeks on end, before and after her death. I know you know what that is like!). Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Betsy, it means a lot to me personally, and touches a place in my heart!
This resonates, Carolyn. And, while excruciating in its own way, the loss of a dear pet is no comparison to that of a parent. Your mom was amazing, and I know she was so proud of you. How nice that she reappeared in red feathers!
Oh my. Tears. We’ve “lost” so many dogs that left us lost. Beautiful video, the wings, maybe your dear cat stretching. I love their song. Being outside this morning made me think about what this smoke must be doing to the animals. No masks for them. :(
Yes, Suzanne, I definitely saw a cat stretch in our little "mourning" visitor. Like you, I hope our animal friends and those who don't have the option to get out of the zone will be okay. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Very moving.... Interestingly you are right on with how I think too.... Often I feel the breezes or the general touches of loved ones and saints who hover over or walk by me... You mentioned four words that I think are so important and for me the key to your beautiful post.."outer edge of perception. ".....SO....TRUE....
There but imperceptible. Except when they show up in breezes and passers by, human, animal and everything imaginable. Such potent energy. Thanks for commenting, Barry.
How perfect... that's all...
Thanks, Prue. Hope your little sabbatical has been lovely.

This is simply lovely. "Repositioned yourself at the outer edge of our perception." Dear Nutmeg.
Appreciate that, Courtney. I imagine your friend Jen hangs out there quite a lot. <3
