Digging through my “treasure chest” of old things from Mom tonight, have no idea why….and found this hand written on a scrap of paper. Seems appropriate….

“I am not afraid to die- I believe in reincarnation. I think that a very few would be sorrowful but I, only too well, know that time buries sorrow. My conscious world would miss my “things”, books, music, collectibles etc. but I wont be “Susan Conscious”- Ill be me in soul only. Maybe next time Ill learn to play the piano, (please God, longer fingers next time), read faster and be able to have my ears pierced so I can wear really large gypsy sized hoops. I wonder if Ill miss my few dear ones. I suppose not as I wont be aware of their actual existence. But there will be a familiarity, an essence of them since love resides in the soul.”
