A good friend passed away last week. You may know him too...his name was Davy jones and he was a member of the 1960s group The Monkees., which was how I came to develop crush on him and all his bandmates.
But they weren't just a TV group to me...they were my muses, my company, my friend-in-my-head, my knights in shining armour when life become unbearable.
As an adult, I had the blessing of meeting each member of that group individually. Davy was someone with whom I spent some time on a variety of occasions. He was very special and wanted nothing more than to be remembered by EVERY person he met...and to be remembered in a different way by each. I always thought that was magnificent. He gave me great advice when I needed it, a smile whether I wanted it or not, a few good dance moves that I use on stage to this day.
I received a psychic visit from Davy just yesterday...his words to me were simple...he said "I am not done yet". I get it. He used to tell everyone the words of his father..."It goes so fast son."
And...it does.
My spiritual father of that same group...Michael Nesmith posted something glorious that I wanted to share...it speaks SO much to my beliefs...I hope it does for you too "While it is jarring, and sometimes seems unjust, or ...strange, this transition we call dying and death is a constant in the mortal experience that we know almost nothing about. I am of the mind that it is a transition and I carry with me a certainty of the continuity of existence. While I don’t exactly know what happens in these times, there is an ongoing sense of life that reaches in my mind out far beyond the near horizons of mortality and into the reaches of infinity. That David has stepped beyond my view causes me the sadness that it does many of you. I will miss him, but I won’t abandon him to mortality. I will think of him as existing within the animating life that insures existence. I will think of him and his family with that gentle regard in spite of all the contrary appearances on the mortal plane. David’s spirit and soul live well in my heart, among all the lovely people, who remember with me the good times, and the healing times, that were created for so many, including us. I have fond memories. I wish him safe travels."
