I have a great friend who says that we should write a "Book of 'Rememberences."
I was thinking it was a good idea but where would I start? Would I start before I was born...that is...before I fell into the body I am in now? I have lots of past lives even in this life....transformations...Would I write a book about a distinct memory I have of being a German pilot who became sick of killing people in World War II and was killed himself? Would I write about the memories of my youth....would I recount all of my life with all of my friends and those I loved...my failed love relationships...or good & bad...the great memories....the times I am not so proud of ...those moments I shined...What would I say about my children...the children I brought into the world and those I borrowed for a time...as a teacher...mentor... What would a "Book of 'Rememberences" look like? Would I write about my vocations as a newspaper delivery boy...who threw three paper routes each morning so he could learn to fly aeroplanes....would I write about my adventures as a subscription sales boy...a clean up boy and onion cutter for a fast food chain I still can't eat at...a metal shop teen worker who had the awful job of cleaning metal shavings from the pits of lathes...my days as a soldier in this life who became a pacifist...my life a package delivery man...a solar energy specialist...a failed children's educational software developer...a college student...a carpenter...a volunteer...a volunteer coordinator... a teacher in Mexico...a kayak/canoe guide...grant writer...life skills teacher for thousands of youth... to my current job of teaching blind children but now mostly blind adults who are newly blind a new way to view their world? I could write a "Book of 'Rememberences" about any or all of these things but day-in and day out I keep being drawn back to the memories I have that take me to heaven and back in a Near Death Experience...

One thing has been clear...whatever book I write here in this life...the ones that really matter to me most are the books that survive this life... This planet is not even going to be here some day...but some of the the books of our lives will continue on forever... Those books we write that are absent of love and kindness don't make it beyond the end of the age but those books of our lives where we lived our lives with
loving kindness and joy are going to make it it to the end of the ages...and when nothing is left of the scattered tiny pieces of Earth...that hug you gave and that moment you joyfully played with a puppy....that moment you could have been a mean ole' bear but smiled and let it be...this is the stuff that becomes God who is love when there is no physical world...

We have several books in us....maybe even hundreds of books that we can share with those who are about to travel from the side of God to be born into life somewhere out
there... What stories would you want to share with your friends in heaven who are about to make their entry into a body? We have a lot of friends before we are born...
What stories would you want to share with them? So they could be comforted in this world? To help them through a tough time? What book would you loan them?

I hope that I will spend the rest of my days writing more books of rememberences about forgiveness, kindness, joy...sincere affection... at least I know that the rest will be forgotten... It may even be selfish to want to write stories that survive this life... but somehow this is what is different about me this time around... I just learned it soon enough to do something about it... I may have died in that cornfield... but I got a second chance...and it will end in what may seem a tragic death...but the books I have written of my life since I found out what is important...I hope will be a better read than the few times I stopped and smelled the roses before that day... I am ready to go back home but if I am going to have to stay... I want what I give my energy to to be more than something that dies and fades away... Loving intentions survive this life and can be shared forever... I have more to say about what I did before I was born in this life but if it doesn't lead to me be more loving person here in this life then I am not sure it is where I would want to put my energy?
