I was lying on my bed, completely distraught for my sister and her recovery. I also felt horribly responsible for her injuries.

I lay there and prayed to the Creator for her recovery and for forgiveness.

This is what happened next.

I was struck by a jolt of total awareness. It happened in a split second. It was a complete knowing of the Universe and its purpose, of my part in the fabric of all things.

The perpetual struggle is that it is impossible to find human words to begin to describe the amount of knowledge I was given and the comfort I received. I knew my sister would be ok. I knew I was not at fault.

I did not relay this experience to anyone. I truly did not feel the need. I had been completely comforted. When some 20 years later I did begin to talk about it, I could never find the words. The big jigsaw puzzle, the knowing that every single piece fits together for a purpose, everything is meant to be.... and so on.

I was given Anita Moorjani's book yesterday, finally someone gets it. She describes the experience with so much more clarity than I can find words for.

The experience changed my life in a profound way. I get it !

I don't always understand why things happen, but I know it's all part of the " puzzle "

I do not fear death, in fact I can't wait.
