(I had this experience on Sunday, September 3rd, 2006. Steve Irwin was such a bright light.)I had a bad dream last night. I woke up crying out. I haven't done that for awhile. My mind had loosened its tethers earlier in the evening. I was in that hazy, lazy expanse of expanded conciousness when I went to bed. When my husband came to bed I curled around him like I always do, and told him about my waking in distress. He asked me if I'd felt a disturbance in the force. I said yes. Then he told me that Steve Irwin had died after being stung in the heart by a stingray. Its so wrong, but its so right.I had a Crocodile Hunter birthday cake for one of my children's parties. The little plastic safari shorted Steve would say, "Crickey, that's a beauty!" when you pushed the button in his back. The cake had a muddy watering hole with a croc in it that Steve had obviously just saved from the cruel prejudice and fear of man and their encroaching civilization. That man had so much life in him. No wonder I woke up in distress. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Everybody needs to shine brighter to help make up for his loss. The disco of life depends upon it.Steve was working on a documentary entitled, "The Ocean's Deadliest". His cameraman was in front of the stingray, he was above it. The stingray grew alarmed and did what nature has deemed would be its primary defensive tactic - it flung up its tall with its poison barb. If Steve would have been just a little to the left or the right, it would have pierced his shoulder. Instead he got a shot to the heart. Today I found out that a family member was in a vegetative state, and the decision had been made to not prolong the body's life functions through force feeding. Its the right decision in this case. Just as this family member would have wanted it. But its so hard on the ones that had to make it. I feel a disturbance in the force, and we all need to shine a little brighter
