Logs. You see them piled on a truck and know them as building blocks of sorts or perhaps future pieces of paper. But they are also trees. What else do you know of that takes on different names depending upon how it appears after it has been somewhat limited and reshaped for a specific use? Why, the most pertinent example would be you in human form. You are a human being in a body, and that is a reshaping and repurposing of the soul. A log is still a tree. The tree is its essence. You are still a soul. That is your essence. You cannot separate the log from the tree or the human from the soul, and the soul is always whole and complete.
You are so very loved.

I recently had to “identify” the “body” of my beloved in a funeral home. “It” was so “cold” like a maniquin that it did not even seem like the “person” I knew in life. What is the “warmth” that comes to me sometimes in a picture , or thought, of her that can make me tingle and the hair stand up all over my body? What is happening in that “connection”?
That warmth is the Life Force. When it no longer flows through a body, we call this death of the body, but the Life Force remains as our essence. It is what connects us all, which is why you remain always connected to your beloved.
What a refreshing analogy for me. The life and essence of us continues!!
It’s like the leaves that fall in autumn- life giving until they are changed but still their essence is alive. Love the nature connection- this soul is comforted
Thank you
