Morning Meditations are my shout-outs to you, me, and we. Based on my contact with the other side of life, they are fast and focused reveries on the nature of our soul here on the beautiful, but difficult school, called Earth.

“When a great Maori teacher and man died, the tribe of students gave him a traditional send-off, usually reserved for the greatest warriors ….” (Thank you, Thomas Saunders, for this post.)

Now in spirit, this Maori teacher must have been so deeply moved by this breathtaking tribute to him at his own funeral. Can you imagine?

From my work as a medium, I learned from Spirit that when each of us arrive on the Spirit Side through the portal of death, a core of study and review is of our personal effect on our environment. How did we treat others? What were our effects upon them? Why? How?

But, not to fear, it is a most loving process. Remember, Spirit tells us that we are all students, each and every one of us. Students of the divine upon this, the beautiful but difficult school, called Earth.

We are not here to become perfect.

We are here to learn of our imperfections, thus, to be all the more allowing of our environment … working to lift our life and the lives of others, in the doing. In other words, to improve ourselves with the grace of personal vulnerability — sanctimonious and self-righteous inclinations dropped to the wayside.

This MORNING MEDITATION? Reveries as to my cause and effect on my environs … the good and not-so-good. Now freshened, what are my intentions as to my impact on others from this day forward?

“Gentle upon thyself, then others,” in the doing.
