Sunday afternoon. I start my meditation with one thing in mind. ‘What is the right thing to do?’ I thought of Leo Tolstoy’s story ‘The emperor’s three questions but I couldn’t take it in my heart. I’m surrounded by many people and it’s me as well present. Who to make happy first when there are conflicting interests?

I let the thoughts floating, the eyes half-closed and then I’ve got a visit. A visit from the future. It was a man who introduced himself as my grandson.
“Grandma”, he stated, “I was a baby when you died but I was there, I saw you in your bed. Everybody you loved was there, Mapa, Papa, me, uncle Chris and auntie Penny, aunt Helen with her dog Snoopy and your friend Leon. You were smiling, you died in peace and you’ve lived in peace and harmony. You had respect and forgiveness for yourself and you taught respect and forgiveness to your children without realizing it. Because of your inner peace, you did appreciate individually every person close to you. You made them feel important ’cause you felt important yourself. This is how you lived and I’m glad I have you for grandma.”

I was smiling now, my mind was clear, I was instantly happy. I knew the way to follow. It’s the way in me, knowing, respecting, acknowledging, and forgiving myself. I’m glad the future has invested in time travel. What can your visitor from the future tell you, that makes you happy?
