Light
Erin was woke from a sleep around 2am when the lamp next to her bed began to flicker. Her immediate response was an elated “Saunder!” Unable to fall back to sleep she began searching for information regarding the ability for those on the Other Side to control and connect through electricity. When Erin and I saw each other the following day she shared the event and her findings with me. She had read that when a spirit uses electricity as a means of connecting those on this side could establish a language to communicate. It would look like this…
Saunder, is that you?
Flash once for yes; Twice for no.
On June 13th I made the final tweaks to Saunder’s eulogy and read through it aloud with pride. With 15mins to spare before needing to be at an appointment I dashed to the restroom and flipped on the light. I gasp when the powder room was filled with a beautiful high pitched ringing like that of Saunder’s singing bowl and with absolute knowing I greeted him, “Saunder!” as fireworks exploded inside me. Within seconds I realized the singing was coming from the light fixture! I had prepared for this moment!
Saunder, is that you? Flash once for yes and twice for no.
To my abundant delight the bulb flashed once.
Saunder, are you happy? Flash once for yes and twice for no.
To my relief the bulb flashed once.
Saunder, are you with Griffin? Flash once for yes and twice for no.
When the bulb flashed once I was overcome with joy.
But as I realized I had run out of questions I felt panick set in and as it did I cried to him, “Saunder we miss you so much.” The words no more left my lips when “Don’t part on that note.” entered my thoughts. I quickly recovered… “But honey, we’ll be okay!”
The love in the was palpable. Within me I could feel his joyful energy swirling with my own as the singing from the light began to intensify… louder and higher in pitch.
Sparks began to drip from the filament within the clear bulb before igniting like a sparkler on the 4th of July. Then Poof! with explosiveness the light was extinguished.
