"We Will Walk The Clouds Together", to understand why these words mean so much to me today, allow me to briefly explain. When doctors in Canada diagnosed the pain & inflammation I was experiencing daily as "incurable" "life long" dis-ease called "IBD". It took me 8 months to gather the wisdom, the courage and the faith to leave all their medications and ignorance, and move to a new city and unbeknownst to me, I was moving to a completely new life.
Next to my new apartment was a nature trail, and to get there I had to briefly go through a cemetery called Mount Pleasant Cemetery. So every morning, I would wake up and go walk in nature for 2 hours.
As the weeks went by, and i grew in knowledge, wisdom and faith, I began to notice little signs I would see. My old life being in this system, constantly under stress, tired, and moving from one transient experience of pleasure to another., represented death. And slowly only by the grace of God I was walking into his light, I surrendered my life and said "let your will be done, and not my own". "transform me & give me a new heart to love you God".
And I remember when I first saw and read what was written on this tombstone "We Will Walk the Clouds Together". I knew and felt at that moment a sense of peace that surpasses all understanding. No matter what happens, I was on the right path, nothing can hurt me.
The week before I was getting on that non-stop Egyptair flight from Toronto to Cairo, I had to go back and take a picture of that tombstone, to remind myself of this moment that I will never forget.
No matter where you are today, if you are sick with any affliction, remember, do not give away your power to any man. Healing is a journey and this path is yours and yours alone.
