Nancy Shaw (Bessler) 11/22/1932 – 11/1/2023

Hello, Everyone!

It just happens to be the 1st anniversary of my Dear Nancy’s passing into her next world. It also happens to be ALL SAINTS DAY – as I knew it as a Catholic kid. HALLOWEEN was presented to me as the Eve of ALL SAINTS DAY. Yesterday was HALLOWEEN; and today is ALL SAINTS DAY.

So, there it is! Nancy died on ALL SAINTS DAY; and being coincidental or not, I do believe Nancy was – and is – a saint. As I was taught as a kid, a saint is one who honors God. Did Nancy live to “honor God?” Yes, she did; and so according to that standard, such as it is, Nancy was a saint when she lived, is likely now a saint for continuing to “honor God” where she is – and will continue to be a saint in a next incarnation if she chooses to incarnate, as it were. Saint Nancy, I am glad we lived together for “a few good years” – from March of 2012 to November of 2023. Thanks for “being you” and letting me “be me”!

None of us know for sure what happens after we die and become “disincarnated souls,” so to speak. Personally, I think there is at least a 50-50 chance we all choose to occupy another body once we pass from a current body – simply because it is likely we had a 50-50 chance of choosing to occupy a body in a current life. If I chose to come into a body in this life, why should I believe I won’t want to do it again? Thus the “rational” part of me suspects that as I came into one body this time, I will likely choose to go into another body next time around. If not, why did I choose to come into this body this time?

Be that as it may, the intent of this letter is to Celebrate Nancy for having lived a good life; and her likely continuing to live a good life wherever she is now and chooses to go. I suspect she will be doing a lot of “kissing” wherever she has gone and wherever she will be because she loved to kiss and be kissed when she lived with me. A few hours before she passed at home with family and friends about, I kissed her for what would be my last time with her. She smiled and looked me into my eyes and said – “Oh, Will, I love kisses, I love kisses, I love kisses!”
So, because she loved kisses this time around, it is likely she will “love kisses” and “kissing” wherever she is and wherever she goes. Now, isn’t that some way to end one life and begin another? I think so. How about you? And perhaps I should follow her lead and do more of it myself. What a Wonderful Way to live life – to kiss and be kissed?

On this 1st anniversary of Dear Nancy’s passing, I will share my next song I am now sharing bits of in my Twitter Tweets of the day. I guess it is no longer “Twitter” because a trillionaire called Elon Musk bought the franchise and renamed it to X; but as long as Elon permits, I will try to share some more positive ideas on his trillionaire website. Can’t hurt! Right?

I will leave it at that! As Dear Nancy would suggest, let us all kiss and be kissed - as long as a kiss is wanted and not imposed. Perhaps proper kissing is a good way to live a life Well Blessed by an Infinite, Everywhere, Fantastic, Sacred Divinity some of us call “God”! Suppose?

Be in touch! All My Love!

Gently,
Francis William (Frank, Will) Bessler

P.S. HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!
Let’s Be Thankful for the Wonderful Creation
of which we are all a part!
Like my song below says: ISN’T LIFE GRAND, BABE!


ISN’T LIFE GRAND,


BABE?

REFRAIN:
Isn’t life grand, Babe?
Yes, isn’t it grand?
I sing the same songs, Babe,
that I did back then.
Isn’t life grand, Babe,
grand right to the end – and beyond?
All I need to do -------------- (tone wavers)
is treat life as a friend – and a song.

There has long been a debate
about how life came to be.
Some think it was by way of chance;
others think it was by Divinity.
Well I think it was a mixture of the two
that best accounts for the truth.
but however it happened, friends,
the result is me and you. Refrain.

I think the greatest mistake we make
is that somehow God selects -
when it must be, God’s in all
and within all, God must set.
So, whatever is our truth,
one can’t be better than another.
Though a bird is not a bee,
both have life as a mother. Refrain.

When I look out at life,
I see miracles galore;
and it becomes clear to me
just what I should adore.
It’s not any one in life
that should command my respect;
but rather it should be all of life
with which I should connect. Refrain.

It is also clear to me
that everything in life does die.
Death is only part of it all –
and to all, it does apply.
Whatever happens after death
must be wonderful
because the miracle of it
extends to one and all. Refrain.

Let’s not fear what we can’t see
because the process is the same.
Life & death continues on
and is our common fate.
Let us know all is well
and let that be our belief.
Life is our common bond;
and our wondrous mystery.
Refrain (at least once).
