Larks Ascending

In the beautiful May sunshine I was walking the other day along a cliff top path, much loved by my mother during her physical lifetime. She often used to comment as we walked there, on the song of the larks. We would stand together watching  them soar up into the blue sky. Gazing at them gave such an uplift to the heart and a feeling of heavenly freedom.

I remembered this as I walked listening to and watching the larks high above me and I thought of my mother. Immediately she was there beside me in her young body of light, saying to me: ‘It is like this in heaven. As the physical body slips away I can hardly describe to you the feeling of light and joy, of freedom and wellbeing. Heaven is just the same as on earth. We enjoy times with loved ones, times of rest, times of play, but there is always this feeling of lightness.’

Whilst in a physical body it is so easy to become burdened by the cares of our lives and concerns over so many things. I think my mother’s message is to encourage us all at this joyous time of Spring to cast down our burdens (just as in that lovely scene in the delightful film Mama Mia !) and be joyful. Ascend into heaven with the larks and trust your intuitive feeling that your loved one is close. Death need not separate us. As White Eagle says in his ‘Little Book for Comfort for the Bereaved’:  ‘There can be no death, only creation and dissolution, coming together again in creation—and so on, throughout the rhythm of life. When you have reached to the centre of truth—which is God, is spirit—you will be only conscious of eternally living, and will not be separated at any time from those you love.
