March for me represents a new beginning, a re-birth and a painful reminder of my late aunt's passing and loss to Lymphoma. But, she began my awakening 2 1/2 years after her passing on earth, and came back to prod me along on my newfound yet fated path. For her, March will always be a reminder for me of courage, strength, hope, pain, loss and then the healing process. That we really are living on borrowed time and perhaps some of us come back to live again. Some of us perhaps have completed our lives and are finished. This all taps into reincarnation and whether one believes if this is it then you pass. End of story.
Except with history and years upon layered years of testimonials, documentation and eyewitness accounts and experiences, I find it hard even for the toughest of tough skeptics to really believe this is it. Are we that vain and self-absorbed as a society, the human race, or mix-breed as some believe; to be so narrow minded and one tracked? Perhaps and perhaps not. I now leave you with some events that occur in this March Madness and wish you all a safe, egg-treasure hunting holiday. May you have a white horse drawn chariot or two, filled with those magical eggs!
