Singing

Sing, everyone sing! David shared this morning that he's lost his ability to sing, and also to yell "yahoo!" I didn't realize that would end before the end, did you? Speaking of the end, we are wishing we'd named this blog "David's next adventure" instead of last, because we're hearing that it's pretty sweet over on the other side (see Maria's comment if you haven't already). Who knows, this might not nearly be the last adventure, just his last one in the body, here with us. I had the hardest cry I've had in months yesterday realizing how incredibly sweet it's been to be so close with David, to feel at home, listened to, loved and deeply connected. I can't believe that it's going to be over so soon. Luckily David was there to snuggle with me, and share that moment too. Two years with this treasure of a man isn't nearly as long as I'd hoped it would be. So sing while your voice is your own, and yell "yahoo!", for yourself and for David.

  2. David and Tara- Thanks so much for sharing this with me. I am sad about David, that he may be leaving us, but I am feeling good that he is entering into it all not afraid and seeing it as a great adventure. Thats so great.
    It is for sure the greatest mystery and adventure of all. And it may be full of light and love if you want it to. Your acceptance of it may be the best possibility for spiritual healing that there is, and possibly entering into physical healing also. But who knows there are many mysteries. If you leave this earth with such spiritual awareness maybe you can come and visit us all and help with this earth adventure. because like they say we are not humans having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human expereince.
    I wish you much love and light wherever you go. we all love you David. Peace and Love adam

  3. Tara and David- Bella doesn't think that you are going to die because you are a good person and have helped so many people, she believes God will help you. And you are looking well, standing and talking with your family. She says the only time there is no more hope is when you are in bed and cannot speak or move. Until then she says there is always hope that you will live. Take care we all are thinking about you. love and peace adam and bella.

  4. David/Tara. Wow. You're some collective crew! How gracious and loving and giving you are to share this leg of your journey with all of us. I posted something last night that didn't get through. If it miraculously shows up, sorry for the double entry here....

    I'll admit I didn't sleep well last night. I'm one of those who probably plans a little too much before she heads out the door. What to pack? Do I have the right camera lens? Will I get lost on my way into the unknown? I was thinking about you, David. What to bring with you on the greatest adventure of your life?

    Odysseus set sail years ago looking for something he had right beside him all along. He encountered beasts, doubt, temptation, storms...fear, loneliness, isolation. Twenty years later he returned to the place in his heart that kept him resolute during his voyage. He went home.

    His friends were all there, waiting on shore when he returned.

    This is what you bring with you. You pack your pals into that big ass old boat and head into the sunset. We'll be right there with you as you find all the answers. Much love to you on this bright and beautiful Monday morning in Maine. XO Talie
