However silly it sounds to try and use words to describe what is a beyond-words experience, I will try. There was one moment when I sat across from my Karl, and felt golden light pour out of him and into me. I don’t understand this. We weren’t on drugs. Perhaps it’s a wonderful symptom of the intensification of our connection that happened when I almost left this world and we got the chance to spend more time on earth together.
