Gail, believe me- I take tremendous comfort in your kind, heartfelt words. Because of you and Roy relating your experiences to me, I will be able to focus on the deeper connections that are possible in this lifetime-instead of always grieving. Grateful that you found my blog. Blessings and love… email me anytime. lisabbyrne@hotmail.com There will be a service for him sometime this spring.

Hi Lisa,
Please take comfort…I don’t know you, but I am compelled to respond to what you wrote about Roy and his “near-death” experience. I experienced something very similar to what Roy described, only I was in a deep meditation, nearly 30 years ago. I was in my twenties and broken hearted, but searching. I was open to every possibility. I was meditating in my apartment in Berkeley on Christmas night. I was repeating the same mantra I had done in the past “I am perfectly happy, healthy, and whole.” And without warning I experienced what Roy described: For a few moments I envisioned a large sort of space with what may be described as stars, but was much closer and personal, it was the connection that we all have to each other, all of us, with no exception, but no “body” no physical sense. It was absolute love, as you described “being bathed in unconditional love.” I was going through alot, trying to find answers through therapy, 12 step groups, honesty…and what I remember most was there was the absolute absense of any negativity, no animosity, no longing, only a perfect sense of “being” and knowing with absolute certainity that this was the most real and enduring reality that exists. I only experienced this once in my lifetime, and have not experienced again in the next thirty year of my life. But to this day I know in my deepest of hearts that it was the most real experience that I ever had. Years later I was in a 5 day workshop for the International Association of Dreams and Dreamwork. One of the workshops was on art that was inspired by dreams. One of the participants shared a painting that depicted this experience along with a narrative. I knew then that I was not the only one to experience it, and I cried deep tears of gratitude. When I saw the painting of the hearts it reminded me of what I envisioned and the deep connection. I can tell that you are feeling a great loss but please take solace in the knowledge that death does not separate us from the great cosmic connection of love, it may even deepen it. Take care, sister.

I wish I could help but I’m barely hanging on myself. This post was beautiful however.

Gail-what a loving thought, and this would not surprise me at all! You are right, Roy’s love touched so many people & he really saw the beauty in others. Mt Shasta will be a different place without him. I am glad you and your daughters knew him & spoke recently. Thank you for your kind words.

Lisa,
I think those hearts were from Roy letting you know how much he loved you, and that he is okay. Notice how the little hearts are surrounding the big one… Roy touched alot of people and we are all blessed for knowing him.
I am also stunned and feel like Mount Shasta won’t be the same. He called me a couple of weeks ago and told me how beautiful my daughter was, and what a great person she was, and added that he sees the same soul in her daughter, little 2 year old Emma. He emphasized that I was a great mom to her and I should be proud of the great creation.
I’m sorry for your pain I can tell that you loved him, and he loved you. Gail
