This week my grandmother has faced her mortality without all the usual mechanisms of numbing that most women of ninety six utilize-no medications as her body stayed fit and strong after years of yoga, walking and eating mainly vegetarian food-lots of salads, bran and water for my grandmother. Her mind remains acute and active although now it's only too aware of the process of dying. As we are all fairly ignorant of such a state, I want to call in a Lama to help her regain her equilibrium as she comes to terms with her situation. As I have no Lamas around at the moment, I'll give her my Jewel Tree as it also belongs to her. This tree refers to all my/our ancestors who protect and cherish us as we exist on this plane of beingness. One day, my grandmother will be in my tree too with all her loved ones, safe and serene. May she have many blessings on this journey. I love you Granny and wish that we had far more time together.
