The next thing I knew, I felt myself coming to.

Opening my eyes, I realized it was dark and it was very quiet, and it was very still. I felt a deep peace and I felt Maggie lying next to me. As I stirred, she reached over to me, ran her fingers through my hair, and said, “Hey baby, you’re back!”

Then she kissed me on my check as I said, “Back from where?”

Maggie giggled. “Sweetie, from Mama’s healing session, silly. You’ve been out for three hours. It’s almost nine o’clock.”

“What happened?” I asked.

“After about thirty minutes, Mama came out of the room and said that you were on your journey, and to just let you be. So I waited a few hours and then decided to lie down next to you until you came back.”

Lying there in the dark, I could hear Mama’s song in my head and then memories of “my journey” started filling my consciousness. Still feeling a warmth and peace in my body, I saw my journey play back in my mind. Not knowing what to say, I just mumbled “amazing” and with Maggie still stroking my hair I heard her say “I love you, sweetheart” as I fell into a deep sleep.
