Tribute to a stranger...

Why is it when you find out someone dies (that you barely know) your world feels like it's recalculating its equilibrium? Is it our aura adjusting to the vanished soul? Maybe because we are more connected than we might think or at least act. It amazes me how someone I barely know that dies can affect my world, sometimes for many days or longer. I truly feel a loss.

This week, someone my soul knew far better than my actual mind and body, passed away and it has left me speechless. She reintroduced my soul to me. She helped develop my yoga practice and taught me how to connect with myself (yes... I have been known to be somewhat spiritually challenged).  I witnessed her doing this with many different people and it was truly amazing to watch. Her legacy will continue on in those she touched, her loving husband and of course her beautiful young daughter. Perhaps one day her legacy will outweigh the raw feelings we are left with since she has passed.

Rest in Peace Sheila Ilias Brown ~ Namaste
