Recently a close friend of my family passed away and it got me thinking this morning about a best friend of mine who died a few years ago. It’s amazing how death can be such a big turn in our lives. One day we’re going one direction, and then the next day our course has completely changed.
Even if we have “lived a good life” it still has a enormous impact on our reality. I remember hearing a man who's spouse had recently passed away say, “she is now dead, and is now only a thought in my head”. I thought how lonely and empty that statement was, she’s more than just a thought in your head, she’s a part of who you are! For those of you who don’t know there is life after death, death is just the beginning of a great new world. This life is a probationary time for us to prove who we are to ourselves, and to God. I know this because if you listen closely you can actually feel those who have left; you can feel their spirit still lives.
After my friend passed away my life took an amazing course into music. All of the sudden, everything I felt and heard inside of me was coming out onto paper and into music. For the first time in my whole life, I felt connected to another world, a world that seems so familiar, but yet new at the same time.
In discovering this, I wanted everyone to feel what I felt in hope that it would comfort them as it has comforted me.
I've always believed if you have a gift, share it, so others can breathe. Music is my air, it’s what keeps me going, it’s what gives me energy and keeps me believing.
Here’s a song I wrote after my friend passed away. It’s called “I Am the Light”, sung by me and the talented David Osmond.
Until then,
Ofaz!
