Birth, life and death

Right at this moment, I appear to be having another funny ephiphany type moment like I did when i got the big thumbs up from the universe and it came together for me setting up to teach yoga and be a reiki practioner.


Little reiki baby - who is actually called Dylan now - came home with his lovely mummy and daddy today- even a year ago they would never have believed it possible - they were considering that they might possibly try a cycle of ivf but it wasn't that probable......... it is still mind boggling to think of it.


 To me the coming home part was what made it real - arriving back in your house with a live, wiggling, baby to look after forever. So them coming home has somehow reminded me of my own experiences and just how precious it is, even more so for them I think.


Sadly I also received news yesterday of a really lovely chap that I shared a lot of good gigs with. He had been battling cancer, and passed away, age 29, on Wednesday - as little baby was born. It seems so unfair and such a waste that he was such a fabulous guy who gave so much friendship and fun to so many and was passionate about many many things. And that actually - you have no idea what life holds so - you pretty much need to make every second count in the most positive way. Sadly it seems like only the good die young. maybe that is because they fill their life with only good things and they have given the world more than their fare share of good things - they have to leave it for others to do good and take a rest. not that that makes it any more of a comfort i suppose when you lose a loved one too soon.

I have been umming and ahhing and holding on in the last few weeks - and as i was shown with Hannah, life needs to happen so i need to get on with it and take what comes - though i just got another big thumbs up and all clear in the terms of a letter that was expected to not come til january - and arrived today, only 7 days later when it is meant to take at least two!!! great big flag me thinks...

  1. I happened to be passing by in blogland and came upon your blog. What an emotional week you've had. I was once told that there has to be deaths so that we can have babies in the world but not at the age of 29. That is too young and too sad and it makes you ask 'why?' even though we'll never know the answer to that question.

  2. ah many thanks for your comment
    i have only just seen it - but very kind of you to post.
    It was a tremendous week and i like to think that now little reiki baby has a guardian angel for himself up there.
    it is so so sad that people die young. it will never make sense, perhaps until it is our turn to meet our maker or whatever way we like to think about.
    Namaste and all good wishes
