We Often Do Not Believe What We See

I wrote this poem in honor of friends who have told me about visitation dreams from their loved ones who have passed,  When they dream of them, the person is always happy, upbeat, and looks much more alive and younger than they remembered ever seeing them.

 

I also wrote this in honor of a good friend who lost her favorite sister to a murderer.  She was not getting over the grief, so her sister, came back to her for a brief visit, to tell her that she had to continue to live. I have no proof of this other than this. My friend always tells the truth.

 

It makes it easier for me to believe as I sometimes see, sense, hear, and smell spirit.

It is difficult to believe others when they are saying something that is beyond our comprehensive boundaries of truth. It is hard to take them seriously when what they said they saw or heard or felt is outside of our belief system. We often do not believe in things outside our limited perimeters even when we experience them ourselves. Weirdly enough, sometimes we are able to convince ourselves so well that what we saw or felt or observed was not real, so we can retain our limited ideas about what can and will be. So we keep this new knowledge hidden from our schemata, and our conscious mind, which is a shame as it was sent by those who thought we were wise enough to share.
