Clarity

I had a strange moment of lucidity tonight. A moment where I saw everything around me and how it had been altered by my passing. I was holding a cherished drawing that a small child had made for me. The house was dark as I was just going to bed. I knew where everything was even in the shadows. I realized how significant my home is. I looked out of my windows to my community and saw the other homes of other families. I knew they struggled too in various ways. My wife, my children, my friends... all drawn to me in lines of connection. For a few minutes I felt like I knew how it all worked together and I totally sensed my own role in it.

It was an odd moment. I hope I have more.
