Good morning ~ Healing Our People Evolving For Unconditional Love ~

Jane bravely faced, then surrendered to a horrible disease she could not fight. Her younger brother died from the same diagnosis, 2 or 3 years earlier, and Jane had a rare form.  Jane never stopped living her life to the fullest, just as she had when she even ran in two US Olympic trials years after breaking her back in an automobile accident decades earlier.

Doug spent the last ten years seeing&loving the pure heart of Jane. Ironically, hours before she passed, he'd transported her (talking) back to her favorite place in the world: their annual backpacking trip to the Winds in Wyoming, where they'd prepared to be that day, if she weren't so sick. I've included only 2 short paragraphs that didn't appear one after the other like here.

We sit, sip (coffee), and take in nature's glory. This is our favorite moment in the world.  Just sitting and being.  Few words, no tasks, no stories of the past, no projections into the future....just sitting and being present to this very moment.  There is nothing quite like it.

This is what I love about Jane in the Winds.  She is in her element when she lets go of all the world's pressures, burdens and expectations and just lives the day as it is meant to be lived.

I knew Jane lived accepting her mother's blatant disregard for her all she'd achieved in life. It is clearly her mother's loss and what she'll learn from this is up to her life-experience. 

May the great-mystery make sun rise in your heart ~
