My beautiful mother transitioned a year ago today at 2 am. It is no accident that her parents named her Norma & she married dad to pick up the last name Stay. Norma Stay sounds like Namaste ~ All of us are blessed by just saying her name. I still feel overcome with gratitude for the release from her intense suffering and the continuation of our loving & fun relationship. Tears still flow, as I reflect that I will no longer be seeing her around her peaceful home or tenderly playing with her grandchildren on her back lawn by the stream, but I sense exhilarating & quiet joy as my whole world still feels alive with her warm & inviting presence. Her last words to me were, “Steven, weve had quite the adventure, haven’t we?” Though I don’t have a sure knowledge of what exactly happens after death, I have a strong feeling that our amazing adventure has only just begun. Thanks again to my mom for passing on her optimism gene & funny bone to me. Mostly I feel grateful and appreciative that she taught me by example that the depth of shared relationships & experiences, both happy and sad, are fabulous gifts and are what really determine our quality of life and happiness. Namaste’, and as Dr. Suess said: “Don’t cry because it’s over, SMILE because it happened ” A very happy & grateful son, Steve Namaste’ means: I honor the place within you where the entire Universe resides; I honor the place within you of love, of light, of truth, of peace; I honor the place within you, where, when you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.
