Ruth McEwen, MSW, Music-thanatologist
I awoke one night with a deep heart knowing experience - receiving a clear message and affirmation that my path is one of LOVING people more fully into LIFE at any stage.
The message continued that the beautiful lives and paths with which and with whom I am privileged to intersect are pure gift.
All the experiences of this incarnation are to be loved into the living of life fully and deeply - living into and through the every day ordinary, the deep moments of awe; in and through questioning, exploring, wondering, pondering, accomplishing, achieving; into the ‘not knowing’; in and through life’s great joys and celebrations; in and through sadness, worry, deep sorrows; into the letting go - from the small everyday to the letting go at culmination of life-each letting go an opening.
I look forward to journeying with you in sound and silence on your path - tuning into and becoming more fully Alive!
Ruth
