The Vision

It happened January 30, 1999. I awoke around 6:00am on a Saturday morning and went to drink my coffee on the patio like I do most mornings. I sat in the swing and sipped my coffee when a vision came to me. I had just lost my mother January 24,1999 and still in disbelief. My mother and I were best of friends all of my life so, this time was very difficult for me. As I sat on the swing I started to hear music softly playing from some where, it was very beautiful. I looked upon the grass and it became a desert to me. There was nothingness as far as I looked. I do live in the desert but my back yard is filled with grass an over whelming feeling came over me to watch the earth. As I sipped my coffee I began to see the dry earth that had a few weeds but a part of it looked as if it was freshly dug. I could see between the dirt and there was a seed that had been planted. The sun was coming up now and I could see the seed sprouting roots that spread along it's pathway. It kept growing and growing and the sun was shining directly on to the seed now. There was a stem that popped up from the earth as the morning went on I saw it sprout leaves, I watched this stem as it swayed to the music it seemed like a ballet, twisting and turning moving to the direction of the sun. I felt a moment of magic and contentment over me and I soon realized that it was my mother who came here as a seed to grow and flourish and even struggle to reach her destination. It was her life and she was leaving earth. The seed became a beautiful flower that glowed through the sunlight dancing and struggling to reach it's home. As I watched this beautiful flower it went through the clouds and then I noticed it was loosing it's petals. One by one they dropped until I could only see the stem reaching high above me and at that moment I felt God's hands caress it's stem . I knew my mother had left this earth but she was with God and how could I hurt. I have been blessed and soon I was seeing other seeds bloom and dance.
