ice under my feet
Last week, I found myself fascinated by a YouTube series about near-death experiences called Coming Home. In each episode, a survivor tells his/her story about how he/she died and what happened afterward. Just as interesting as the stories of the perceived afterlife are the varied ways and circumstances in which people die—freezing to death on the side of a mountain, being thrown off a commercial fishing boat in a bad storm, having a heart attack, being overmedicated during a routine procedure at the doctor’s office. The list goes on and on. Death could come for you at any time and in any way. And, as the people in these videos attest, it could also release you back into this life.
If you’re looking for something to help you appreciate your time in this world, or to alleviate your fears and worries about death, or even to help you grieve, I can’t recommend these videos enough.
or inconsiderate
farting in public
dust balls remind me
to clean out my mind
the horizon replaced by
ice under my feet
a window to the past
here you are again
in winter’s soft and muffled
silence
in the icy river
hello cormorant
so plain and ordinary
simply magic
That sounds like a really interesting YouTube series. Gonna have to check it out. My wife and I saw the movie After Death last year. Similar stories. Poem #3 brought back memories of living in Northern Japan and getting out of my car one winter. It happens so fast!
I’ve never heard of After Death before, but, yes, this YouTube series is very interesting. The afterlife experiences, as well as the moments of death, share so many similarities, but the stories of lives lived before and after the near death experiences, and the ways in which people die vary so widely. I’m not sure which half of the stories intrigues me more.
Very cool poems, and yes we know when we are born but not when we die I just try not to think about it and try to live my life as much as possible, because we don't know when it might be our last chance, thanks for this my friend, happy week ♥
Well, this series will take away any fear and anxiety you might have about dying.
Being alive is a certainty that we will all die one day
I am tempted to go check the videos, but I fear what my emotions will be. Three days ago, I was on a YouTube series and I cried a lot watching it. I don't want a repeat.
The 7 tiny poems are good too. I like 4&7 best though. Well done
I highly recommend them. I don’t find them sad in any way. They tend to be more comforting and reassuring. If they lead to tears, I think the tears would be more of the joyful kind.

You never know when the old grim reaper is a coming! Great poem! One day we all will know what comes next, although I would prefer to put it off awhile longer yet!

I listened today to an interesting interview about so called "exit points" that we all have. I thought we have only a handful only to find out that we have around 100 of these during our life span. The so called crucial exit points are what we refer to as near-death experiences where we decide whether we want to continue this journey or not. It was an interview with Lee Harris and Regina Meredith in case you want to look it up.
Have to go with your number #2 😊. Regularly cleaning out the mind is so rewarding.
Please send me the link if you remember it.
I searched Lee Harris, Regina Meredith, and exit points, but nothing specific came up. It seems they have a lot of interviews with each other.
Sure. The episode is entitled "Floating Souls & Aligned Evolution", S24:Ep7 and it runs on Gaia.
Here's the link:

Let me know your thoughts after you watched it.
Very interesting. This is the first I’ve ever heard of the term exit points.
I had an experience in my 20s that I’ve never been able to make sense of, but this possibly helps to explain it.
I was standing in the middle of a country road, in front of a house that I was renting. I had smoked some pot and was pretty high. There were no cars on the road, and the only people around were whoever was inside the house at the time (I think only my girlfriend). There were cows in the pasture across the street, but other than that, all was quiet.
I stepped out into the street because the sun was setting and the middle of the street just so happened to be a good place to really appreciate the sky and the landscape.
I don’t know how long I was standing there, but suddenly I had this really intense physical sensation that a car had just driven right through me. It felt like what I imagine it feels like for characters in movies when ghosts pass through them. It didn’t hurt, but it was powerful, almost like something had been knocked out of me, or like I had been physically thrown through the air even though I hadn’t. The sensation stuck with me for days (and I was able to recall it and feel it again for years after).
Maybe that was related to an exit lint in some way. I don’t know.
On another note, I tried that experiment with a ver small group of students, the one in which one person changes something about him/herself and the other has to guess what has been changed. Just like in the professor’s experience, most people removed something. Only one person added something.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me ❤️ That must have been a very intense sensation especially as it left such a major imprint on your cellular structure. Could have been an exit point; that possibility exists. I'm glad you didn't take it though and you're here! 😊 I'm glad the interview helped you gain a new perspective. Isn't it funny how life works and how we come across certain people who will help us on our journey ;)
And thank you for doing the experiment and sharing your results. Isn't it astonishing how you get the same results across the globe with time being irrelevant? The human psyche is so predictable. This is why change never occurs inside the "program".
Have a wonderful day. And thank you for your openness!
It is funny. And it was interesting to hear the students say how difficult it is to think of ways to add things to themselves.
I’ve been listening to quite a few of the videos on GAIA. I especially like the one about water. I remember seeing you comment on samstonehill’s post about a water video that you saw on GAIA, so I think the one I’m referring to is probably the same one that you watched.
Indeed, I mentioned two videos on Sam's page: the first one is an interview with Veda Austin entitled "Communicating with water" and the other one is a movie: "What the Bleep do we know?". Both go deeply into our interaction with the universe (frequency and vibration) as so called water beings. Gaia offers so many interesting perspectives on what we refer to as the human experience. Great channel. I'm glad you like it too.
