Here it is just two weeks later and Facebook delivered me a new loss. This time my lovey and lively friend Emily was released to the higher realms. This post is dedicated to Emily and the significance of soul relationship.
I met Emily early into my new job as a Program Analyst in the Prevention Division. This was around 2005 when transiting Neptune was heading to move to my Ascendant. How fitting to meet such a Neptunian spirit. I still recall my first time meeting her. I was discussing her program Moving Creations. My task was to learn about its purpose and goals. It became obvious that she was unlike most of the directors that I have interviewed . She was one of my tribe. It was almost immediate. There was this clear recognition. Her energy was very pure and strong. I felt very good to be in her company. It turned out we were close in age. Later I learned that we lived near each other. I was invited to a few events to see spme of the productions. I beleive this happened long after my evaluation was over. I offered to write a testimonial. I was new at doing this but wanted to be as helpful as possible. I did all I could to help promote her work with department leadership. I also attempted to introduce her to others that were like minded. Emily inspired me so much. She created such a magical program incorporating theater and dance to motivate underserved girls to gain self esteem and mastery. She was an artist and used it to improve this world.
We shared many common interests including astrology, spirituality, and Indian food. She possessed confidence, drive and exuberance. She was so energetic and graceful. I wanted to be more like her because she made things happen. Fiery folks can turn ideas into form. Emily was a fine photographer and often took splendid photos of the Wissahickon that we loved. She was from Delaware county and often visited Longwood Gardens. Many readers know that is one of my power places.
I reviewed her chart today after learning of her passing. After I learned of her illness I found her chart which she told me about many moons ago as we both were seeking the The Mountain Astrologer during a chance meeting at Borders Book Store. I reviewed it carefully today and took note of something I may have overlooked. Her south node was conjunct my Venus/ Moon opposition. This is a very important contact. Venus South Node indicates a past life love. I only have this with one other person that I know of and the conjunction is not as close as with Emily. Funny how this came into view for me today. While it should not surprise me, we are family!
Emily lost touch at some point other that through Facebooks. However a few years ago after I moved out of the city I posted about my health issues and was looking for alternative healers, doctors, etc. She was one of the first to respond with kindness and some help. Later she emailed me a list of resources, One of them became my new doctor. I would not have found her without Emily.
Emily was a dance therapist and later worked as a psychotherapist. I tend to share tihs life with many in the healing professions. She shared about some of the modalities and techniques she used to help heal herself. One of them was doing the Dr. Joe meditations. Tonight I was scheduled for an online Dr. Joe event. The synchronicity is not lost on me.
I was very sad to learn of Emily’s health struggles. I honestly did not think she deserved to suffer. Emily was a loving generous person who loved nature, humanity, and her beloved cat Shakti. I pray her amazing fur baby will find a loving home. I wrestled with the understanding that Emily had endured so much suffering, She was such a fighter. She radiated optimism. I have to accept that her life path was designed to suit her evolution and it is not for me to understand.
One last anecdote that I want to highlight. A few months ago I had a dream with Emily and she was not a regular visitor in dreamtime. We were near her home in NW Philadelphia. She looked young and happy. It was a warm day and we were chatting. It felt close to a lucid dream. I told her she would be fine. I relayed this to her on FB. I felt reassured by this possible visitation. Both yesterday and Sunday I drove to my old hood. I went to Flourtown to get gas and go to CVS. I needed to be closer to home for some reason. I missed the comfort that this area offers me. I woke up yesterday and decided to go back there again. I am not really sure why but I followed my intuition. I drove past many of the homes of people who used to live in my area. I saw my ex boyfriend’s home, the childhood home of one of my closest friends, and my old apartment building. I ate lunch at a restaurant on the same block where I later moved within an adjacent neighborhood. As I walked from the restaurant to the car, I was mindful of each step. I was reminded of how much I love Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill. Walking in this green, vibrant area hols so many memories. It is sacred ground to me. As I began to drive home I thought of Emily. I thought about her house and the church nearby where she once had an office. I had visited her there. I had my meetup group in the very same church. This past of Mt. Airy was very special to me and those who live there. I thought about Emily’s condition and sent her love and prayers. I had been doing this since I learned of her passing.
I am sad that my prayers and love were not enough. I am sad that her treatments and healing work were not enough. I am sad that her loving support system could not prevent her passing. I will accept that Spirit has a plan for all of us. I will accept that there are no mistakes, no mis-steps. I believe I ventured back to my hood because I knew she was passing. although she was at the hospital at this point. Part of me wanted to be near the beloved Wissahickon that meant so much to Emily. Its a soul thing.
Dear Emily,
I pray you are free to be unlimited and in bliss. Your life made this planet better. You touched so many lives, including mine. Thanks for teaching me through your actions how to be kinder and bolder and stronger. You get to be reunited with your parents and your other ancestors. I am so glad we met over 20 years ago. I hope we will reunite as I believe we have done many times before. I am sorry I had not spent much time with you in recent years but we had a lovely time recently in the astral. Keep dancing and being and exploring the beauty and love within and around you.
I am going to go out on a limb here and play this video. Emily had a special connection to Hawaii. I hope this video resonated where her spirit currently resides.
