13. Lucky, I won't go into why I believe this - this is not about me. But...

...I believe you not only helped man in pajamas, you made a difference that no one else could have or would have made.

We are stuck in time, here, so we imagine 'past' and 'future', and think that the one is gone forever and the other may never be what we want. Our brains are made to perceive linear sequence.

So you imagine that being there for man in pajamas to help (your first quantum gift to him) ended after the water started going down. And that driving him to/from his procedure and being there for him (another quantum gift) ended when the surgery ended and he was back home.

And your care in checking on him and being friends (more quantum gifts) ended when he decided to end his pain.

I tell you this, and believe it with every fiber of what and who I am: LOVE IS NEVER "OVER". It never "stops". It has no past and no future. Acts of love are quantum gifts, where we recognize and exchange humanity with one another, and do homage to the Divine Within, and they endure forever. They are more deeply significant than our linear brains can ever understand.

You are a bright light burning in the heart of man in pajamas, and he is a bright light in your heart. Now and in eternity, beyond time, in a quantum experience that all life shares and makes and gives.

Everything you write in this post is a quantum gift to me, and I reverence it, and you.

Thank you.

lovingly,
Bright
