Yesterday morning I heard a telephone interview on Q100 of the boyfriend of Meredith Emerson. It was completely heart breaking and painstaking. I haven't watched the news very much and was trying to avoid some of the coverage but could not stop listening to her story. My brother-n-law volunteered on the searches and viewed the condition of her body. I had spoken with my sister the night before the interview. My prayers go out to this beautiful girl, her boyfriend, friends and family.
I'm angry though, I'm angry that she lost her life, that her friends and family lost her and that she had to endure such suffering. I'm angry that I don't feel safe and that my children are not safe. I'm angry that we can't take a walk and enjoy the serenity of nature without looking over our shoulders. I've hiked in that area so many times, my friends and I have backpacked in Mt. Pisgah days at a time and now I need a pistol the next time I go.
I want to be spiritual and free from fear and worry. I want to let go of the attachment of life and give compassion to all beings. I want to believe that there is a supreme purpose that Meredith fullfilled. But this is demonic that a person could torture another human being so randomly. How does one find it in their heart to feel compassion for the torturer? To forgive someone who enjoys terrorizing individuals? How did Buddha or Jesus do it?
I guess I will start by sending reiki to all of them; Meredith, friends and family, and the murderer. Reiki is universal life energy and can be done through "distant healing". It is also broken down as knowledge, wisdom and understanding in a feminine healing energy that can not be persuaded and seams to work at its own time and strength based on the situation at hand. I hope any practitioner that reads this will take the time to do this as well.
I don't know if this will help my forgiveness or compassion, but maybe it will help me to simply let go of my anger.
Peace be with us All
