Vision of the dying
There is one possible moment, when those living on the
earth and those called dead, can commune together, and
that is the moment previous to the transition,
- the moment when the link between their op-
posite beliefs is being sundered. In the vestibule through
which we pass from one dream to another dream, or
when we awake from earth's sleep to the grand verities
of Life, the departing may hear the glad welcome of those
who have gone before. The ones departing may whisper
this vision, name the face that smiles on them and the
hand which beckons them, as one at Niagara, with eyes
open only to that wonder, forgets all else and breathes
aloud his rapture.
