that had been unfulfilled within his own
lifetime. She'd been gone for so long, but her
face had never left him. Having never told
anyone about her, she stood before Joseph
reaching out to hug him in joy. Strong and
certain, her love relinquished his fears, and
quickly put them to rest. "I love you," she
said, "but you have held me in your heart
long enough, let it cease. A love that can
never be is a dead love, how many years did
you weep for me?" His tears were drying
now, "So many, and no one ever knew."
"Yes," she said as she dried his final falling
tear," and it held you in that which no longer
lived, you were never completely free again.
Now... you are free, my beloved Joseph.
Our love will always remain, but what you
hold onto must die. Seek life, and in the
seeking, let this go. Spirit directing life
always directs it towards the path of the
highest good; we were what we were meant
to be in that time." Joseph looked up," I
never did let you go... completely."
Hugging him tightly, she comforted him,
"There is one thing I must leave you with,
life continues to create, life continues to love
... it never ends. But life can cease
movement when it holds onto dead things.
