On Existence

I’m grateful for the responses I received to last week’s blog/newsletter, Of Waves and Wonderings. In particular, I’d like to share (with his permission) an exchange of correspondence with a reader in the US.

Hi Roz,

I wanted to let you know how meaningful I found this week’s and last week’s newsletter. Thank you so much for sharing. They arrived in my inbox at the perfect time.

As I’ve come to terms with the trauma in my childhood due to religion, I’ve decided that I don’t believe in God. But I do believe that we are all connected by an unknowable energy – the water you talk about. It’s the energy that delivered a card from my mom into my mailbox just hours after she passed. It’s the energy that inspired a friend to check in with me the day after she died, not knowing she was gone. And maybe another name for that energy is God. So maybe I believe in God after all.

When my Mom passed, she asked that a card with a favorite picture and quote be shared with everyone who knew her. The final paragraph of your newsletter reminded me of the quote.

Thank you for all the positive energy you bring to the world.
