Tears are quite normal when we are grieving, but tears of sheer joy when you KNOW there is absolute order to this Universe is something else!
Back in April of 2022, when my son Dan had been Spirit side for 3 years, another Mum whose child had passed through similar circumstances to Dan, posted a song on a Facebook group I belong to, called 'Follow The Sun' by Xavier Rudd.
I'd never heard of the artist or song before, but it touched my heart deeply, and I played it constantly, several times a day for weeks on end.
Fast forward 6 weeks, and I am sent a post that one of Dan's friends has put up on Facebook. A video of a ceremony she performed in the mountains of rural Spain after she had had Dan's ashes blessed by a Shaman at an Ayahuasca Ceremony the night before.
(Many of Dan's friends requested some of his ashes, and I was more than happy to share them)
I watched as she set out all the beautiful flowers she'd picked on the way up the mountain and as she lit the incense with tears in her voice as she spoke about what she was doing.
THEN.... she put music on her phone to scatter Dan's ashes to..... The music? Follow The Sun by Xavier Rudd!
I burst into tears as I watched her scatter Dan's ashes in the wind to a song I'd listened to countless times over the past few weeks.
I didn’t know her, but I simply HAD TO reach out to her and ask her why she chose that particular song that I had only come across recently, but couldn't stop playing!
This was her reply....
That's very deep what you told me and very strange. I've never associated that song to Dan before, and I only heard it for the first time, fairly recently.
Since I heard it though, I haven't been able to stop listening to it, feeling all emotional and some kind of connection to it.
I don't know why I played it for him at the mountain, but it just seemed like I should. It made the hairs stand up on my arms, reading your message.
I'm really glad that you were able to see what happened with his ashes. I really wanted to honour his memory in a way he deserved.
There is no doubt in my mind that Dan orchestrated the whole thing. This is the absolute beauty and power of our loved ones in the light ✨️And if you don't know the song...check it out!
