Martin Dale Metzler 1952 - 2013 <3 Today I want to discuss death and dying. This week my brother Marty Metzler died. He slipped out of his body after a lengthy illness. His hospital room was filled with his family and friends, people who loved him in this life and will miss him terribly. For me Marty will always be sitting in his living room playing the songs he had written or was writing (very good stuff in a CW ballad kind of way). I didn’t get to see him often and that is the most dominant image I have of him. In some ways my brother was luckier than many people. He lived on his own terms. Had great kids and spent the last 10 years of his life with the woman he loved, who loved him. When we have love all the other challenges of life seem easier. So thank you Sue for making my brother happy.
Being a reincarnationist has always made death less imposing for me. This is even more true now that I understand energetics and our existence as divine spirit energy. I am always sad for the people left behind, but for the departed I am so very happy. We may touch transcendent bliss in fleeting moments as human forms but I can barely imagine what it is to exist entirely as spirit able to assimilate with all divine energy. Even for those whose life has been harsh and perhaps unfulfilled… the spirit self can choose to have another human experience. Another chance for the growth they may have missed this time around. We cannot hope to have every experience in one lifetime. Ultimately we want to have every experience; so we come back life after life for more, different, and new experiences.
No lifetime is wasted and no-one leaves before their soul decides it is ready. We may not be ready to see them go; it is only for us to cherish the experience of having known them. Good bye little brother, you were loved and will be missed.
