A tribute to life

Cheryl F. M. Petersen

"God has endowed man with inalienable rights, among which are self-government, reason, and conscience" (Science and Health, p. 106).

My cousin, husband, and I had just loaded three horses into a two-horse trailer How odd. I thought about it: I wasn't angry, I wasn't afraid. I was just conscious of what is right and wrong—and three big horses do not fit into a two-horse trailer. Then, I woke up. It was a dream.

Knowing I am going to my aunt's funeral tomorrow gives me the same feeling as in that dream. My aunt will not be there; how ever, I feel she is very near me. I am not angry or afraid. I begin to think about it.
