Episode 31: The final song of Grief, the story of Carrie, and Neil Peart on Regret.

Talking to the Dead

The words from last episode are wonderfully put to music by Ester and Neil calls the song Proof of Grief. We learn of Carrie who died this day in 2023. We learn about Regret, the question of soulmates being animals, the importance of special Dates, and finally Neil takes me to the next Hall on our Journey. The Hall of Regret is where we learn about our life’s regrets, the importance of having regrets, but more importantly that we learn in this life or many lives to forgive ourselves and to understand that Regret is what makes us human. We need to turn regret into something positive in order to move forward in life and higher realms.
Proof of Regret
All the things I left behind

And all the things I am yet to find

All the people I hurt or harmed

With thoughts and fists that were so unkind

All the places I never saw

The feeling that I should have done much more

All the jobs I never took

And the ones I did but was never sure

All the time I wasted

Wondering where the past had gone

All the moments lost I treasured but time moved on

All the love I gave but it was never enough

All the love I wasted on useless stuff

All the things I should have said

All the things I should not have said

All the decisions I made but never progressed

All the plans I laid but always digressed

All the tunes I never wrote

All the words I never could quote

All the friends that I let down

Those who had so much to say

Those I had promised to meet along the way

Now I am gone with space to reason why

Learning again to plan a better way - to try.

Choices I will make again and again

Each life makes me better by them.

My soul knows the lessons to find

That serves to influence my mind
(Lyrics by Neil Peart, Carrie, and Philip...I guess!)
