Franklin Turtle's Words of Comfort
as received by D. Tremblay 1/2007
The following is a recorded communication I had between myself and Franklin Turtle, back in January 2007. At that time, Sparrow, my long time and dearest cat friend was nearing the time of her transition into the light. I asked Franklin for some words of comfort. At the time this was recorded, I had no intention of ever sharing this, however time has passed and Franklin and I feel this dialogue might be of some comfort to others as he reminds us that it's ok to grieve but the fact remains, we all continue beyond the physical.
Danielle: Franklin, is their anything you can tell me to help me through my grieving process? I am so very sad.
Franklin:
Remember who she is. She is always that. Not more, not less. She is She. A grand being like yourself.
I see a spirit’s passing as a time of reconciliation. A chance time to look at your own emotions and see where they’re generated from. We seem to think ourselves separate from the greater whole. And yet this is illusion. The fact remains that we are all one greater source, the God-divine. There is truth in that. She is no less than she is now.
There is nothing wrong in feeling sorrow for your beloved friend. Just realize that it is separateness that causes you to feel this way and nothing short of that.
I am a turtle bound in a body and shell and yet I am no more separate than she is from you. Trust in your own desires to know yourself and you will know her as you. Grieve for yourself, if you must, but release her to the freedom of that which exists.
I am here to guide you. To tailor your emotions in a way that makes you think about yourself and reevaluate old discrepancies.
Sparrow is forever. It is a term not to be used lightly as it extends the width of time (he winks at me).
Hear me now. Death
is but a chance timing in one soul’s awakening. A fragment that
comes and goes. It is insignificant, really, in the scheme of
things and yet important just the same, if you make it.
Danielle: Franklin, how do you personally think of/feel about death?
Franklin:
I myself have yet to experience it in this life, yet I know it will be glorious, like the return of a warrior. Welcomed event. I will bow to it. Never cry for me. My spirit exists within or without regardless of time or space. Nothing can contain me. It will be like an adventure!
